Compound butter

I never knew butter on steak was a thing, which is probably because beef hasn’t been in my life much until this decade, but now that I’ve eaten a few steaks I’ve started to catch on to the tips and tricks of preparing it.  Nothing has come close to Bob’s Steakhouse in Carlsbad.  Nothing.  That was the best meat I’ve ever had in my entire life without question.  A close second was the meat I had at Mulvaney’s B&L which had a balsamic butter on top.  I made a mental note at that dinner.  Butter… Read more >

Cake, cake, cake

Where to start!?  I feel like I can’t possibly catch up because our weekend was so full, but I will try.  It’s worth it. Family is the best.  Ok so let me start off with Saturday. That’s the face of a girl with a secret. I had given them sips of my ginger tea earlier in the day and they were begging nonstop for more ever since.  So I made them a cranberry tea to share.  I could tell they didn’t really like it, but because they had asked for it for so long, they pretended… Read more >

Raving about dinner in an instant

After a super lazy Saturday, I decided to start Sunday off with stroller strides.  That got my day going!  Yowza – the ‘Boost’ Sunday classes are always an insane workout. I had two muffins for breakfast with cashew butter.  These were almond butter coconut flour ones with dried cranberries.  My friend made a batch of these “paleo” muffins for me back when V broke her femur and I had the last few in the freezer, which saved me since I hadn’t done any prep yet. For lunch I made a Caesar salad with kale, chicken,… Read more >

Christmas prep and giveaway

I spent most of Friday in Fremont with my little buddy. Although there’s a little bit of stress leading up to these appointments, I look forward to them too because I get to spend 5+ hours with just Mr. P.  There are plenty of distractions – vital signs, nurse checks, and updoses of course – but it’s nice to hang with him. I stopped at Starbucks on our way out of town and brought this bar for breakfast. Share Bar is right!  More like “steal from your mom bar”. This was so good.  It’s divided… Read more >

The perks of Friday traffic

Another Friday in Fremont getting this guy through desensitization treatment.  The doses are getting pretty high now (more than a peanut’s worth!) so we decreased the number of updoses this appointment (3 instead of 4). I’m so proud of him.  And I’m pretty sure the staff thinks he’s the greatest too.  🙂 Since we were done an hour sooner than usual, I decided to get on the freeway asap and try to avoid the traffic.  The drive back home gets more congested by the second; and for every minute past noon that we wait is… Read more >
