See what I did there?! I often lament the fact that my toddler has not yet developed a taste for combined food. Everything is separated and eaten on its own. Sometimes there’s even a mini-meltdown if items are touching. I long for the days of sandwiches… and I think those days have finally arrived! Recently
Today is a rainy day and as much as we both would have liked to spend it relaxed in our PJs, we decided instead to venture out to Kids Fort to spend some energy. We began the morning with a pancake breakfast, a mid-morning snack of half a clementine, and a PB&J sandwich lunch. Then

I’ve slowly worked to perfect a meal planning process that works beautifully for me, so I thought I’d share. If you’re attached to your smartphone, you might like this too.

Richard and I have been promising to ourselves that we’d make our own energy bars. Since Yudai is joining us tomorrow night and he and Rich will be bravng the cold to climb on Saturday, I thought I’d make them some treats. So, finally, round #1 is underway! Since I was already mucking up the
Since we had so much balsamic vinaigrette left-over from yesterday’s salad, I decided to use a simple recipe that would go well with balsamic. Here’s today’s salad: baby spinach, goat’s cheese, sun-dried tomatoes, cherry tomatoes and balsamic vinaigrette. DE-LISH!
