we’ve been away. I’ve been enjoying a little time away with the boy before his first birthday, this Sunday. While away, I’ve been continuing to cook lots of farm fresh simple food. Salads galore and yummy pancakes. I am lucky to be close to a organic farm I’ve mentioned before, Green Thumb (my all time favorite farm!), and also Round Swamp Farm which is also a local favorite. I’ve been enjoying mixing yummy, fresh herbs into the salads like mint & dill and making delicious pancakes with fresh blueberry honey butter. Also in the mornings I give Mr. W. sheeps yogurt with fresh fruit pureee (whatever is fresh) and then sometimes I make myself an adult version, you can see here I made yogurt, fresh strawberry puree, nuts, banana & fresh blackberries…just delicious. I think the salads speak for themselves. I love being creative with food.

4th of July Food- YUMMY
I spend so much time thinking about food, eating food, cooking food….especially on the holidays. This weekend was no exception. I had so much fun making healthy food all weekend, and really enjoying the farm fresh, organic veg of summer. I have a load of pics to share, which I will over the next few days, but here are 2 super yummy meals that started off the eat-fest. 1. The first was a fresh soba salad with tofu. I used romaine as the base & mixed in torn basil and dill. Topped it off with spicy radishes, scallions, carrots and al dente soba noodles (tossed with a touch of tamari), tofu with sesame on top. I drizzled a lemon, soy dressing with a touch of agave. 2. The next lunch was a roasted zucchini wrap with fresh avocado and a spinach hummous in an organic whole wheat wrap that I lightly charred on the stovetop, and I paired it with a farm fresh organic salad: fennel, green beans, radish, red pepper, edamame and I lightly stove grilled some corn that I drizzled with lemon, rice wine vinegar and again touch of agave. This was scrumptous and fresh and refreshing.

I covet Friday’s: Lucky lil Darlings
Having a son who is almost a year old (16 days and counting), I am constantly running after him grabbing things out of his mouth (I have mastered the art of the finger sweep- though it has gotten MUCH harder since his new 4 teeth!), and basically I have to keep my eye on him 24/7. Now I must admit I am lucky (no pun intended), I have help during the week. In order for me to work I need a hands on sitter to watch the boy, so that he’s not screaming & burping into the phone, like he did today on a business call – super professional, I had to say, sorry that wasn’t me….ugg. Anyway, on the weekends my husband & I are at the beach a lot and our little house needs loads of work…which is impossible with this little one. Between cooking 3 meals a day for us, preparing & cooking 3 meals for him (plus snacks), breast feeding & watching the little bugger where is there time to clean, fix things (washer broke, pipe in basement busted, water filtration system went kaput, wasps nest in grill)….and I wish I were kidding. and btw- these are the smaller issues, we need LOADS of other issues attended to. So with that in mind it brings me to my dream: Lucky lil Darlings. They are an elite babysitting service for Manhattan and The Hamptons (and Oregon I believe), what I wouldn’t do to have an extra set of hands so my hubby & I could shocker- go out to dinner, or to the hardware store without a little squirmer or many other things….it sounds like a dream.

Macro Noodle- what I had in the house lunch.
Ok so here’s another food post. Can you tell what’s on my mind lately? I am trying to eat more often (i find this an annoying challenge) but since i started I feel worlds better. I am also trying to cook more and keep myself fed with protein and veggie rich food. Today I had a craving for soba noodles, thanks to looking at 101 cookbooks, a great site for super natural cooking, so I decided to use what i had on hand and create a somewhat macro meal. I grated daikon (good for blood cleansing), grated carrots, drizzled with fresh lemon, and made a simple quick stirfry of red pepper, kale, green peas and tofu. Last I drizzled a little bit of soy over the noodles and sprinkled lots of sesame seeds. I must say it was super yummy.
