journaling
I’ve been trying to make more time for journaling to set some intention and reset. It might feel a little quiet here in the meantime.

countdown to summer is on
We use fruit as our seasonal markers here. The day the cold went away, the pleas for watermelon began. Adding it to the shopping list (in April!!!) is a bit overzealous, but all this means is that her had has switched to summer mode. Two more months to go until we are on summer break…
MoreCSA stash update
Thought it would be helpful to see how much produce we have left about halfway though our CSA pickup cycle (we get a Large share from JBG on a bi-weekly schedule). We started with all of this on March 23. Our next pickup is 6 days out. I’ll be making it through the week with the […]
Moreveggie meal plan – march 25, 2015
Have been working from my handwritten notes for this week’s meal plan. Haven’t quite cleared through the rough (my turn in bed started a couple of nights ago), but we are getting there. He has been an absolute champ and is bringing the smiles full on. Love him. Digital capture of the analog meal plan […]

dreaming of my grandmother’s kitchen
Tonight’s dinner transports me back to my grandmother’s garden-side kitchen with the lime trees within reach of the door and fresh beans and mangoes just a few steps further. I had no idea that I would spend so much energy trying to recreate those moments. Merida… I miss you.

Posting a bit late, but did manage to get a jumpstart on some food stuffs for the week. We’ll be squeezing in as much as we can work-wise before our lovely little city gets flooded with this madness and what we hope is a MUCH warmer Spring Break. Breakfast Smoothie Bowls with Granola & Fresh Berries […]
Morealmost a normal sunday
If we ignore the fact that the time change seems to have stolen our entire day, all is well. The sick seems to have finally been escorted out and I am trying to remind myself that this rain and grey is a much-needed respite for the green things outside. Simmering soup. Enjoying the sound of […]

veggie meal plan – march 2, 2015
The sick has got the energy in the house on mute. Naps, audiobooks, podcasts, music, and a fair share of video streaming are going in everyone’s respective corners. We seem to have survived the weekend, but there is much to catch up on and I suspect the 11yo has at least a couple of more […]

Trying my best to focus on how awesome and lovely the sun feels right now. Exorcising the cold and grey that I know is still ahead from my brain. Almost done with winter…
Moreveggie meal plan – february 22, 2015
The temperature is plummeting as I type this post and we are just a *wee bit* miffed about it. 30º may not seem like a big deal in February too most, but this is Central Texas and it was in the 70s just a couple of days ago. Stomps feet. Will be warming the house […]
Moreveggie meal plan – february 15, 2015
I’ve spent every spare moment this weekend in the kitchen. Washing greens, shredding cabbage, roasting veggies, and getting the fridge armed with basics (grains, legumes, dip, salad dressings, etc.) makes it a kazillion times easier to reach for something reasonably healthy when the hunger pangs strike. My sweet tooth this week will be satiated with […]
