Week 15

  Aaaaand we're back! We're finally moved in and settled in fancy New York City and Mr. Nomato has resumed his school, so lunches are back! You'll also notice that there was a bonus weekly recipe yesterday, Tidepool Jello Cups. This is because I have way too many recipes waiting in the wings to share…Read More

Strawberry Spinach Salad

Best part about nomad life? The second strawberry season is here!!! BEST. YEAR. EVER. Our first strawberry season in Louisiana was wonderful, but can I say there ain’t no strawberries like home strawberries? (‘cause the strawberry party don’t stop.) Nova Scotia strawberry season is upon us. And I seriously can’t stop eating them. I may…Read More

How To Cook Spaghetti Squash in the Crockpot

Where would I be without my Crockpot? The crossroads between Sad-ville and Hungry-town, that's where! Mr. Nomato and I are trying to eat healthier, and part of that is cutting down the carbs, and the calories. Spaghetti squash is a fantastic alternative to regular spaghetti, with only a fraction of the carbs. Now, I know…Read More

Nightshade Free Backyard Burgers

Everyone knows, the staples of a barbecue are BURGERS. They’re always there, reliable, dependable, a simple ground meat patty slapped inside a delicious bun.

The brief hiatus…Read More

Whole Wheat Pretzel Rolls

But when it comes to my own baking, it leaves me completely stumped because it’s so dense. I just cannot, CANNOT make it work,…Read More

Week 13

YAY FRIDAY! We made it! As I mentioned in my last post, we're trying desperately to figure out what is causing a sudden lunch flare-up with Mr. Nomato's allergies AND trying to clean out the the cupboards at the same time, so inventiveness is the word of the day month! This week I've been inspired…Read More

Week 12

Happy Friday! I hope you had a wonderful week! I've been busy tweaking the site, and I'm sure you've noticed a lot of changes! The site has gotten a bit of a facelift between the change in venue, the logo and the theme, and overall I feel like it's a vast improvement. I'm also replacing some…Read More
