I love these Seattle days. Refreshing. Rejuvenating. Peaceful. Despite the sleepy weather, Zed had an “awake day” but blessedly did not cry much throughout. It was challenging because he seemed tired, however refused to sleep.
Since it is a bit cooler, cooking indoors has been easier. I am lingering over the stove with less of a sense of urgency. I was even able to sit in between dinner duties. I found myself staring into Zed’s eyes and repeatedly saying”I love you” and joyfully responding to any gurgle back that had an “L” sound in it. Clearly he is reciprocating my affection, no?
I am typically one of those people who puts on an outfit and rarely deviates from what I throw on. When it comes to cooking though often I will start with one combination of ideas or ingredients and then end up with a totally different dish than I intended.
Tonight the strangest thing about dinner is how I started out making tacos:
Caramelized Onions
Hatch chile strips
Green Beans
Shredded Carrots
Then I added a splash of braggs aminos for a bit of salt.
The soy sauce flavor was just enough for me to start craving a stir-fry. Suddenly I was making a faux Pad Thai with steak and these Red Rice Noodles that I saw on sale today at King Soopers. How could I resist? I have cooked red, purple, black rices… putting them into noodles seemed the perfect next step.
In the spirit of pad thai, I added lime and a handful of torn basil. Then we piled up leaves of cabbage in order to roll up dinner into wraps.

Somewhere in there I managed to overcook the noodles and they became a bit gummy, but we inhaled it and fought over the last few bites, so it was at least relatively successful.
Originally, I thought the evening would involve pesto, but we started the day with a delightful cherry tomato, pesto and feta stuffed omelette. For lunch, we followed up with a Pesto & Cherry Tomato Omelette Pesto Cucumber Sandwich.
I spent the day sharing most of my meals with Juliette, so when we considered having a snack I looked in the fridge and realized all that I wanted was the Hot Dog and Whole Wheat bun staring back at me.
I feel one of the initial successes with this sugar fast is how I managed to convince Juliette to not have ketchup. Actually, I offered her mustard and mayo (not exactly traditional, I know) and when she asked about ketchup I simply told her it had sugar in it. She was okay with that response and happily settled on the mustard & mayo.
Speaking of the sugar fast, I did pretty well avoiding it all day, but if someone offered me dessert I probably would have to say “Yes, with sprinkles on top, too, please!” Actually, as I type this I am day dreaming of how I am going to devour a peach very soon. I am looking forward to these intense cravings to subside.
May you have peachy sweet dreams tonight,
Chef Lilly
