Iced
Look! Ice cubes in my coffee: Thank you for all of the amazing iced coffee suggestions! I can’t wait to try Pioneer Woman’s recipe and make some coffee or almond milk ice cubes, too. For this morning, I just made the coffee and put it in the freezer to let it chill while I fed…

This post is dedicated to the existence of the slow cooker. Without you, we’d get takeout a lot more often. Leaving for work this morning was a little on the hectic side. I ended up getting my first class covered so we could take Liv to the pediatrician -her eye was looking a little funky…

A different kind of cooking
While I made the chickpea patties last night, I also ventured into a new-to-me kinda cooking. Baby food! How cute are these little baby bullet containers?! (Peas, carrots and green beans) We’ve been experimenting with babyled weaning so far – the baby is given large pieces of the same food you’re eating. The only obstacles…

Chickpea Cakes with Indian Spices
Last night we had an amazing dinner at Saffron–my favorite Indian restaurant in Tucson. We left in curry-food comas and I was inspired to create my own meal using spices reminiscent of our experience: Chickpea Cakes with Indian Spices Our date night mentality has changed a bit after having a little one. The Pilot used to ask…

5 months ago was our first full day at home after coming home from the hospital. After our first few nights as parents, the first night with our baby at home, a mix of adrenaline, sleep deprivation and wacko hormones, I remember thinking to myself, “this is really your life right now. Things really are…

Can you believe that I’ve actually started to not mind waking up early in the morning? (Note: I didn’t say “I like” it, but for me to go from utter loathing to not minding is a huge deal haha.) It’s so much easier to be productive and plan out the day, and by the time…
