3 day juice cleanse for my 15th survival anniversary

Share

To celebrate my 15th cancer free anniversary on Valentine’s Day Darling and I are doing a three day juice cleanse.  I have been wanting to do a detox since I went off my meds for Lyme/Bartonella.  I am pretty excited because the last time Darling and Sacha had to do a 5 day by themselves [...]

I <3 Costco

Share

I decided recently to join Costco to try to get on top of our constant empty fridge, freezer and pantry situation.  It has been less than a month now and it is helping immensely!  I am doing my main shopping there and picking up a few things at Giant, Co-op, Vitacost and Amazon (subscribe [...]

lunch…

I love this idea.  I need to do this all the time.  If I chop up a bunch of veggies, grate cheese and make miso dressing so that I have them ready to go then I can use them in pitas and salad and even throw them into dinners (I made fried rice with [...]

Christmas day

Potato, onion, sausage fritata with croissants and smoothie for breakfast.

Christmas dinner table.  We ate at about 8pm.  It was laid back.

The boys set the table.  It was so pretty.

Crab cakes, asparagus and baked potato.  Pretty easy and delicious.

Nigella’s chocolate hot pots for dessert.

Dutch Baby

This is Angry Chicken’s Dutch Baby recipe.  So easy, but it feels fancy.  I can’t believe I had never made this before.  It is beautiful, isn’t it?  I think it is like a giant popover.

3.  Flank steak [...]

Martha Stewart’s seafood chowder…so delicious!  The kids loved it too.  I used a bit of frozen shrimp, frozen tilapia (I was mainly using up odds and ends left in the freezer) and one bag of fresh clams (PS the best place for clams/mussels is Giant…they are cheap and surprisingly very fresh…better than Costco or [...]

Isn’t this beautiful food?  I need to make this!

I can eat a whole bunch of radishes in one sitting right now.  I CRAVE them.  I will make a special trip to the co-op just to buy them.  What is up with that?

Throw some veggies in a pan, (adding onion and/or some garlic cloves to your single veggie is fab) cover with chicken broth or even plain water.  Add some fresh herbs, dried herbs, a half a chili or a little cumin.  Boil.  Puree (a hand blender works great for this) with a little sour cream, potato, [...]
