Welcome to my weekly download!

I’m asked so frequently about what it looks like to live a grain-free life day to day, what new products I find or recommend, and what I eat on a daily basis. So I’m going to start sharing a new blog post recapping my week for you guys! I’ll try to catalog my meals, snacks, grocery and market shopping finds, and even some of my fashion finds on occasion! These photos, and much more, are also shared on Instagram, so if you don’t follow me there yet make sure to subscribe

We went to the Exploritorium in San Francisco and had some fun making shadow photos in the lightbox room! Here's my self portrait.

I have been craving this Black Bottom Banana Cream Pie from my Against all Grain Cookbook lately! Grab a copy at any of these bookstores listed here for the recipe!

We've always been big Warriors fans around here being that we're in the Bay Area, and Asher is so loving that they've had such a killer season. He was relying on our dog Ava to calm his nerves during this nail-biter of a game!

There really are no excuses needed for making bacon, but a rainy day and family house guests called for a big tray of bacon! I bake it to save on cleanup and free me up to make other dishes when I'm hosting a crowd.

 I chose to dress the bump, or basketball, in denim on denim (because anything goes when you're pregnant!) and the comfiest sandals from Matt Bernson.

103º is what every pregnant mama in their 3rd trimester hopes for on a summer day, right? I'm staying cool this summer with frozen grapes, popsicles, and pool time!

With heat like that, I'm guessing I'll also be using my ice cream machine a lot this summer. This all natural, dairy-free Mint Chip can be found in my Against all Grain Cookbook! 

I absolutely love seeing the photos of everything you all are making, and am especially loving seeing my new recipe app Cookery in use! These recipes are mostly from the blog, with a few special book recipes thrown in, but they are reimagined and redesigned in a way that makes cooking and planning so much easier for you!

We absolutely love wedding season! Little unknown fact about us – Ryan and I are usually some of the last to leave the dance floor, it's one of our favorite things to do together! He usually out dances me though, he has endless energy!

Outfit details:

Printed Maternity Dress (which I will easily be worn after baby as well!) – Pea in the Pod Materity

Blue Pumps – Nordstrom

I love vibrant food! This was a summery salad I enjoyed for lunch. Strawberries, raisins, avocado, almonds and a poppyseed vinaigrette.

I was supposed to be in NYC for the Forbes Women's Summit and had to cancel last minute, but I must say, this alternative was pretty great. I love rainy days and card games with my little guy. Following the summit online was still super inspiring though! 

On days when I miss Aila terribly, I cancel all plans and do things like buy myself my favorite flowers and eat real ice cream. And buy pre-cut up fruit because I want it, now. But that's probably just the pregnancy. To any grieving mamas out there, if there's one piece of advice I got that was the most valuable it was “be kind to yourself.” It's okay to be selfish, it's okay to not want to be around people, it's okay to spoil yourself a little. 

Here's one of my breakfasts! I was working on a carnitas recipe for my next book so we had lots of leftovers. This is a carnitas scramble with spinach, guacamole and pico!
