Can I just put it out there that kids are really weird.

Okay, I won’t speak for your kid. MY KID IS REALLY WEIRD.

On the day that I made these, she refused to eat her breakfast, which is usually her favorite meal of the day and the only thing she will reliably eat, AND her lunch, which was the avocado toast that I posted on Wednesday, featuring all of her favorite things (ie avocado, bread, and spinach).

These kimchi pancakes, on the other hand?

As if what the world really needs is another recipe for avocado toast, am I right?

Buuuuttttt HERE I AM.

I also have like five cases of La Croix sitting in my pantry, so I’m pretty much the definition of a basic bitch.

It’s okay. I can take it.

This dinner-sized chopped kale salad is the perfect light but hearty spring meal. It is filled with small bites of apple, cucumber, cherry tomatoes, hard-boiled eggs, and Manchego cheese, then tossed with a smoky paprika vinaigrette.

Happy National Brunch Weekend!!!!!

I mean…Easter weekend? Same thing?

Regardless of your religious convictions (or lack thereof) I hope you have some serious breakfast plans. I have two kind of MAJOR breakfast/brunches planned for the weekend but we’ll see if I actually get to make both (or either) of them. It’s always a gamble.

Otherwise, I’m basically just counting down my last two weeks of medical school classes, which just happen to perfectly coincide with my countdown to Remy’s birthday. I CAN’T WAIT.

I’m sure I’ll be doing lots of indulgent eating at our Easter celebrations so I’m already planning on getting back to consuming vegetables en masse come Monday. This week’s meal plan is helping with that as per usual with great healthy meals like veggie-stuffed balsamic dijon tempeh buddha bowls, an avocado egg salad to use up all of our leftover hard-boiled eggs, pasta with a creamy cashew-based sauced, crispy tofu with string beans, and spaghetti squash with a vegan artichoke sauce.

Happy eating!

What a wild and wacky week.

Not only is it apparently one of the holiest weeks of all time with Passover, Greek Orthodox Easter, and Catholic Easter occurring almost simultaneously, BUT our nanny went on vacation! And left us to fend for ourselves!

Like, she actually trusts us (and Remy’s grandmothers, who have been sharing nanny duty for the week) to keep Remy on a schedule and feed her and get her to nap all while not collapsing into an exhausted heap at the end of every day with the endlessly energetic Remy crawling on top of us for the umpteenth time so she can uncover our belly buttons – a new favorite game.
