Sorry I left you high and dry there for a few days.  The end of summer is getting a little crazy and I’m jut trying to prioritize the right stuff. Kyle was gone for a few days last week – I think I already mentioned that and blogged about the first couple solo nights – so now I’m picking up on the end of that stretch. I made nothing into something with fridge leftovers and it turned into an amazing dinner!  I’ll get to it in a sec. First, breakfast. I started out wanting to… Read more >

So far this week I’ve made two repeat dinners and continued the same lunch rotation that began last week(ish). Here’s my lil snacky kinda lunch. And then here I am right back to my kale salad lunch.

So I know I already blogged about our amazing dinner on Saturday night, but here’s the food from the rest of the weekend…starting back with Saturday am.

Remember last year when we went to Full Belly Farm in Guinda for a beautiful dinner? Well, we went again!  This time we brought the kids though.

We came with the same friends as last time plus another family.  The more the merrier right (and also, more kids to play… Read more >

I have added and removed this Indian Butter Shrimp recipe from our weekly meal plan so many times I lost count.  But I finally made it! I made a few tweaks to make it dairy free, including swapping in Earth Balance for the butter and using this plain forager cashewgurt instead of plain cow milk yogurt. I vividly remember being underwhelmed the first time I tried forager’s cashewgurt (OMG that was so long ago but feels like it was yesterday)…it’s super runny which is not how I like my yogurt.  That said, it was THE… Read more >
