Salad and cheese news

We had such a full weekend in the best way!  It seemed like there was hardly a spare moment, but it was with really mellow stuff so it didn’t feel overwhelming or chaotic.  Of course I didn’t get to any housework, which is kinda hard for me, but for some reason I didn’t even stress about it.  I’ll tackle it eventually…summer has me laid back for some reason.  Maybe the absence of school (and thus set time schedule) has me feeling like there’s a lack of urgency in our schedule?  We still have activities with… Read more >

Summer dinners

I went back to my beloved Winter vegan salad!  I just couldn’t stay away, ha! I had bulk roasted butternut squash and cauliflower for the kids and then stole some for my salad too because I had all the rest of the ingreds… When the cards fall into place like that…you can’t ignore the signs!  So I just HAD to make it.  And guess what – it was as good as ever.  Obvs. And now for a few more dinners from the week. Salmon + brown rice + asparagus with an almond butter miso sauce…. Read more >

Morning swim

I bought a bunch of PB2 for peanut OIT dosing purposes several months ago but then realized I wasn’t allowed to dose him with it because we don’t dose in terms of peanut protein weight but rather the weight of whole peanuts.  Sooooo…I started eating it myself! It’s pretty good, although I wish it didn’t have sugar.  It’s so close to being a good product (for me).  I’d use it in smoothies on the daily if it were just protein – like a protein powder.  But anyway.  Now I’m using it as a stand in… Read more >

Post vacation cleansing

Part of the problem with doing such a good job of eating everything in the fridge before you go on vacation is that you return home to LITERALLY NOTHING. We had a crazy first day home…from the second we landed we were go go going.  It was a text book (and literal) definition of hitting the ground running. Straight from the airport to swimming and then off to Costco and finally Trader Joe’s…phew. As is customary after a long time away from your own kitchen, Kyle and I were both looking to clean up our… Read more >

The end of Idaho and the start of Summer

Hey hey hey!  Welcome to our view of Lake Payette from the Shore Lodge in McCall. We were supposed to have randomly terrible weather over the weekend, but then the storm shifted directions and we wound up getting clear skies until the moment we packed up to head back home. Before I get to the time we spent at the resort in McCall, I have to mention Golden Fork hot springs in the town of Donnelly.  We stopped on the way and had a picnic lunch.  It was my first time in a natural hot… Read more >
