Vegan Fall Salad

I have a new seasonal vegan salad that is rocking my face off. It took a few tries to perfect… But now that I’ve eaten it half a dozen times, I feel like I need to share. Are you as excited as I am that it’s squash season again?? More specifically, KABOCHA SQUASH season. It overlaps with fig season ever so briefly, so you gotta get on it to make this salad happen before November arrives.  Although then you could swap in dried figs, which will work just as well, but just offer a different… Read more >

Dining out is the new play date

I went to Philz for the first time (for the peeps who don’t live in the Bay Area, Philz is a full on THING for coffee snobs).  They opened one in Davis a while ago, but I can’t justify spending $$$$ on coffee when I am perfectly in love with the stuff I make at home.  Alas.  It was high time I at least saw what all the fuss was about.  My friend walked me through the ordering process (it’s single cup pour over like most boutique cafes right now).  I went with one of… Read more >

My Fully Belly Salad

I have SO MUCH TO CATCH UP ON!!! This week is all building up to a massive fundraiser for V’s nursery school and since I’m on the board I seem to be living at the church this week.  No matter!

I have created a new favorite Fall salad, but I’m not blogging about that yet.  First off, this weekend.  We went to a live show (podcast) with the kids 🙂 I know I’ve talked about… Read more >

Last day of September

I thought this was going to be the last tomato harvest but I was wrong… A few days after picking all of these I went to rip out the plant… I TOLD YOU it is taking over the yard!  It’s a monster! Only then the forecast changed and there’s not supposed to be any rain now.  WOMP WOMP.  Not that I’m complaining about the rain going away.  That part is fine by me. So I picked another 3 pints. And made two more jars of creamy vegan vodka sauce to freeze. It’s all stuff I… Read more >

Beast & Bounty

Foodie girls night! The only way I can go out these days is with my girlfriends because we don’t have a babysitter.  Ugh.  I could write a essay about why we don’t have anyone to watch our kids, but the reality is I’m just making excuses for not making it a priority.  The kids have attachment issues so it’s not for lack of recommendations…blah.  We were doing okay for a while (omg I just looked it up and it was last winter!).  We went out a few times over the span of a few months… Read more >
