The last few posts have had more elaborate (for me) meals, so I figured I’d throw a few of my stand by quickies your way. I don’t usually take photos of the boring repetitive meals because they’re not that exciting. But I don’t cook fun things all the time and it’s only fair to show my lame side (lest you think I’m super homemaker hippie). Eggs. The cheap protein that can be the star of any meal in a minute.

Breakfast Udi’s mighty bagel with organic peanut butter and a fried egg. I had the second half of the bagel a couple hours later. Also with PB PB. I’m seriously obsessed with these bagels. They are so hearty and full of seeds and whole grains, you’d never know they are wheat and gluten free. Definitely the best GF baked good I’ve tried so far. What sets it apart though, is the fact that it actually tastes like a bagel. Not eggy bread. Not nutrient devoid buns. Not cardboard crap. Real ingredients! I can SEE the… Read more >

My garden is officially started. Meaning it’s in soil and I’m waiting (notsopatiently) for the yield. I planted basil and parsley plants. More basil from seeds. And (the above) spinach, chard, and kale seeds. I also have a (sweet 100) tomato plant. And our lime tree (which made the move from Santa Monica with us). Yup, I moved with a tree. I’m so excited to get some free produce this summer! Kyle and I finally made it to the Davis Farmer’s Market! Geez. Took us long enough! There are SO many things I can’t… Read more >

I have been making legit dinners lately. It’s good to be back in the kitchen – planning weekly menus and grocery shopping. Much more wallet friendly too. Oddly enough, I now despise going to the grocery store. Which is SO weird because it used to be one of my favorite things ever. I used to love browsing the aisles. I took my time and relished in the fun of perusing products. Now I’m all about efficiency, get in, get out. And even then, it’s after a few days of creating food out of thin air… Read more >

We had such awesome weather this weekend (status quo for Nor Cal, but still worth noting) so we really made the most of it. Lots of outdoor time! Friday morning started with Earth Butter-ed toast and a fried egg. <— yup, that’s a bite mark out of the toast For lunch I had a big salad with greens, quinoa, carrots, tomatoes, and peanuts with peanut soy dressing. Since I finished off the rest of the PB I just made the dressing in the jar. I broke up P and his girlfriend Sophie for… Read more >
