Using everything up

This.   Is the kind of food that you don’t make for yourself because it seems better left to ballparks and street vendors.  It’s also the kind of food that I used to looooove.  Back in the day, I adored grilled onions.  Sautee them to a mushy mess and serve ‘em to me in a bowl and I’ll consider it a meal.  But thanks to my IBS, I’ve learned that it’s one of the FODMAPs that causes me noticeable symptoms.  And combined with pregnancy, I’m a hopskipandastep away from death by heartburn. But Kyle’s a… Read more >

Healthier Vodka Sauce

I’ve alluded to this sauce combo (I hesitate to claim it as a recipe) before.  It’s the easiest.   It’s basically a lightened up, more nutritious, version of vodka sauce.  It’s not dairy free, because Greek yogurt does have dairy.  But I know that many people who are sensitive to dairy tolerate greek yogurt (me and my sisters are all included in this category).    I use equal parts marinara and Greek yogurt and stir until it’s combined.    Cook the pasta.   And then add the two together for creamy saucy yum.   This… Read more >

Snack snack snack

I feel like this is what every third trimester soon-to-be-mom says at some point, but to hell with the cliché.  I HAVE NO MORE ROOM.  Ugh. I’m so full and it’s depressing that it’s not from food.  Ok, that sounded bad.  I don’t mean I’m depressed that my son is a big healthy baby – that makes me very very happy.  What I’m bummed about is that I cannot honor my voracious hippie appetite in the way that I’m accustomed to doing.  I wanna freakin’ chow down and it’s just uncomfortable.  Lame.  So much for… Read more >

Please help my pathetic rolls

That thing up there.  That’s home-made sushi. Yeah.  I know.  [The fact that I had to explain what a food photo is…speaks volumes…right?] I’m really not sure what I’m worse at – rolling or slicing.  But it was bad guys.  Really bad.  I welcome all comments that can assist in future sushi making.  Clearly skimming the pamphlet that came with the sushi mat (back when I got it four years ago) wasn’t enough. For filling ingredients we went kinda untraditional. This was a tofu spread that I made with extra firm tofu, tahini, and soy… Read more >

Super simple strata for the weekend

Making breakfast at night for the next day is dangerous.  Because no matter how full you are, the aroma of baked stuff is just too powerful.  This is Kyle’s reaction to the strata coming out of the oven. He said (and this is a real quote) “I’m just going to take this upstairs into bed with me now, okay?”.  Uh, no.  Not okay. “Pleaseeeee?”   The weird part was how much this smelled like butter.  As it was baking, I checked on it a few times (more times than I normally would have) because it… Read more >
