going yeast and (mostly) sugar free

well, wes is. and i kind of am since we eat dinner together. he has this rash on his hands (i have a mild case) and seborrhea on his face (which is supposed to get better with a yeast-free diet). let's cross our fingers it works! lots more veggies (and more of a variety of veggies than usual) on this plan, which we really need to eat more of anyway!

i'm hosting a st. patty's day play date on thurs and am planning on having some healthy treats for the kiddos and a maybe not so healthy treat for the moms ;) might make gingerbread stout cupcakes but with this frosting (sans pumpkin pie spice). thinking of icing it with the plain frosting first then putting some aside and mixing in some green food coloring so i can pipe a shamrock on top of each one! if i do this i will post pics!

meals, schmeals

in a weird state--i feel in the mood to cook, but not feeling adventurous or creative with recipes or wanting to try new ones. lots of repeats in the last few weeks. probably b/c the household has been sick going on 3 weeks now. i just came down with something this weekend, but it seems pretty mild (knock on wood). i've started pre-making dinner during cooper's naps so that i don't have to try to cook and entertain him in the 5 or 6 o'clock hour. i was thinking it would work well, but the trade off is i don't get any down time. 

forgot to post last week. the only thing of note that we had were chicken and green chile enchiladas. super tasty as usual. they were carried over from the previous week as i didn't have time to make them then. i think we also had turkey burgers and some kind of pasta dish. same old, same old!

we'll see how the week goes...
