Avocado! That’s right. We’re putting avocado in the blender this morning ’cause we’re making a chocolate avocado smoothie for breakfast. Aren’t you excited?! I’m excited too. See, I’ve never used avocado in a smoothie before because avocados usually don’t make it past salads, bean burritos or stay-at-home burrito bowls around here. But today, half an … Read more
So What Are We Putting in the Blender Today?
January 31st, 2012 | Posted by in Breakfast - (7 Comments)I get these “Your Pregnancy This Week” emails that list a myriad of facts and tidbits about the wee babe growing inside my uterus, along with any other timely pregnancy notes. You know, like “you’re probably busting out of your bra by now” or “your baby is the size of a tarantula”. Stuff like that. … Read more
I’m on reprieve from my usual cooking, cleaning and other domestic duties for a bit here thanks to an early Christmas gift for the girls. We’re in Toronto! Me, two girlies, one fetus and one Granny Weeds. We had to leave Dad at home to go to that pesky thing called work. Don’t feel too … Read more
A few things to tell you today. One: Banana, kiwi and diced oranges make the best fruit salad. EVER. I want to weep when I look at this simple salad and remember how amazing it was. But then again I weep when the Disney World commercials play on Hulu during The Biggest Loser, so take … Read more
Today, I had a plan. That plan was to make dinner early, so that when we got home from an outing with friends late this afternoon, dinner would be mostly ready. All that would be left to do would be to make some guac to top it all off. And that plan worked. For the … Read more
Can you eat just coleslaw for dinner? I can. You can too if you want, I won’t tell. Here’s how you do it. First, spend your afternoon at a child’s birthday party that you didn’t intend to stay at. When your sometimes-shy-sometimes-not 5 year old persuades/begs you to stay because today she’s feeling shy, you … Read more
A fast and color coordinated black bean burger and orange fries for dinner tonight! Too bad my black burger was obscured by a piece of provolone cheese. The black and orange effect was lost. Good thing veggie burger love knows no color. And a letter: Dear Frozen Sweet Potato Fries from a Bag, I didn’t … Read more
Ava said, “you’re sticking your tongue out” while I was taking this picture. That’s my Thinking Tongue! And besides, that’s how the French do it. (OK so maybe I left out that last bit when responding to my 7 year old’s observations.) I had French toast on the brain when I woke up this morning, … Read more
So I hurt my wrist. I know. It’s always something, right? Left pointer finger. Left knee. Left wrist. What’s left? I’m not even sure how I did it. I think it’s keyboard/ergonomics related, so I’ve changed some things up on my desk, but the pain went from “niggly” to “bad” to “awful” in a matter … Read more
We didn’t have anything official on the agenda today, so we didn’t really call in sick. But we’ve been goofing around today for sure. Stay at home mom’s and homeschooled kids get a day off once in a while too, right? Right. We had breakfast together, we got dressed and then we went about our … Read more
