Also, just popping in to say Hi! I'm alive and here. I'm barely surviving life but I'm here.

There was a water main break near us and we are without water. I'm at a stage where I have tons of contractions if I'm dehydrated so H went out to buy water. I think we will likely be on boil precautions when it comes back on.

We're starting week 3 of our kitchen remodel. Floor is done, cabinets are in, and granite was templated last Friday. The walls were just painted today. I don't love the color, but it's okay. I'm hoping it grows on me. It's going to be 2 more weeks before the countertops are installed. Fortunately we'll be out of town for a large part of next week and will only have 2 more days left after we get back.
We're still somehow doing great with no kitchen. Fortunately it's been warm enough out to be able to grill a few times. The most stressful part about this whole thing has been making decisions about the finishes we want for the kitchen.

easternshoregirlI'm dairy free this time around, and other than the no cheese it's not too bad really. Plain, unsweetened almond milk subs for reg milk, Earth Balance "butter", and Ben+Jerry makes some awesome dairy free ice cream - I love the pb half baked.

Thanks, I'll check out the Earth Balance and Ben and Jerry's products! It's not that tough for me either. I had a salad last night with cheese on it and she really had an upset tummy during the night, so that supports that she can't tolerate it well. I can trade dairy for sleep!

easternshoregirl, I second the Earth Balance and Ben + Jerry recs. Also, I don’t know if they have this near you— Van Leeuwen is an ice cream brand that started in my neighborhood, but I heard that they recently started distributing them nationally. They have a ton of vegan flavors that are amazing. The dark chocolate and the mint chip are my favorite. I like coconut milk and cashew milk instead of cow’s milk. You can also make a delicious coconut milk chia seed pudding. For something creamy in a salad, avocado. For a creamy soup, purée potatoes/ parsnips/ root veggies/ cauliflower, and thin with broth or water. I know you said no cheese substitutes, but Daiya makes a good vegan blue cheese dressing. Tessemae also makes good dairy free creamy dressings. You can sprinkle nutritional yeast on things for a little umami/ cheesy flavor in the way you might use Parmesan. For yogurt, Trader Joe’s makes a good coconut milk yogurt (or you can make your own, but with a toddler and a newborn, you probably don’t need one more thing to do!) Foragers makes a good cashew based yogurt too but it is pretty expensive. I use that for savory things where you might want creme fraiche or sour cream.

Do you have a recipe for the pudding or should i just google it? We have a good natural foods store so they might have some of those brands if my regular store doesn't!

easternshoregirl, I use this one: wellnessmama.com/59344/chia-seed-pudding/Also, you can find a lot of really good dairy free dessert recipes on The Minimalist Baker blog. (Savory recipes too— mostly vegan and gluten free, but that may be more restriction than you want. The desserts are awesome though.)

We survived DS1 first night in his toddler bed. Now we need to take apart the crib to put it in the other room.

Thank you for the birthday wishes for s1! Low key day while we waited for the snow. We ended up with somewhere around 7 inches give or take. He had a late start today for school.
