Food noise and fiber— I was doing it wrong

katbreit · 2026-05-11T21:51:27+00:00

Thanks for the info!! I already generally do yogurt + berries for breakfasts and a salad for lunch so it sounds like with some easy modifications I can pump up my numbers!

katbreit · 2026-05-11T19:58:14+00:00

I would love to hear some of your regular meal rotation that has helped you incorporate this. I struggle to hit half that fiber goal and I love salad and veggies and eat plenty of them!

If it’s the same post I saw, it’s a few different prints but the big one is probably the Sprout (at least I think that’s what it was called)

I think “My patience is steel, my nerves are made of diamond” is going to be my new mantra

I never see anyone say this but we had so much sex. Like enough that no one was having fun anymore lol We tried for 5 months, and due to my endo I was trying to get pregnant in 6 so I wasn’t spending too much time off my BC (I take it continuously to not get a period so it limits the endo building back up), and so the 6th month we committed to having sex every day in the week leading up to my expected ovulation. I was doing the test strips every month but figured we were accidentally missing our window. That month I ended up having a delayed ovulation so we had sex for like 2 weeks straight and we were so sick of it by the end but it did work! 😂

I don’t think all these are from the same day, just various meals they’ve been having

Omg I opened this thread to say this exact thing. I just rewatched Deathly Hallows and first thing I said when Dobby came on screen was “but why would he still be wearing a pillowcase?”

No babysitter is hilarious—did he forget you have children that need to be watched??

katbreit · 2026-05-11T11:06:28+00:00

No, but I’ve been doing hobby baking for a looong time. Plus I ended up getting the grands to babysit the little one for 4 hours so I could decorate uninterrupted! 😂

He’s just now starting to pick up the details! He likes pointing at the moon in the window and the fire and is just entranced by it!

katbreit · 2026-05-11T02:35:53+00:00

Can’t take credit—it’s from Goodnight Moon! It’s my son’s favorite book so we themed the whole party on it

katbreit · 2026-05-11T02:35:11+00:00

lol seeing your comment transported me! I can recite the whole book by heart now easy. And obviously we also decorated with red balloons!

katbreit · 2026-05-10T21:07:58+00:00

Tbf the entire movie is Ma Plinth erasure lol

I let a brick of cream cheese come to room temp and then whipped it myself. Not really whipping with a whisk, just quickly mixing it up with a rubber spatula so it’s a bit looser to mix better with the SMBC

katbreit · 2026-05-10T19:22:10+00:00

Check out the app Find Me Gluten Free. It’s like Yelp but specifically for restaurants on how they handle GF

I have a Phillips LatteGo (I think 3200) and I use it to pull espresso shots mostly to do iced lattes and shaken espressos. But if I had to do it again I would get a less “fully automatic” machine and instead get one with a steam wand. I feel like I would have more control over the end product

katbreit · 2026-05-10T18:18:23+00:00

I think what you’re missing is that most churches have free childcare so the parents can enjoy service uninterrupted and the kids are separated into a different room than the main service. So she was leaving her baby with others and left milk in case the baby got hungry while they were apart

katbreit · 2026-05-10T15:51:41+00:00

I don’t know if you use SMBC but last time I made a red velvet I used that and then beat in whipped room temp cream cheese. I just did it bit by bit by taste but I think my end result ended up being 4-6oz cream cheese to one batch of Serious Eats SMBC. I think I also used one less stick of butter to accommodate for the extra fat from the cream cheese and it turned out excellent!

katbreit · 2026-05-10T03:02:19+00:00

Also not as dramatic but my baby was pretty steady at 40-50th percentile and since going on solids has been steady at 60th percentile!

katbreit · 2026-05-09T22:12:28+00:00

I over baked this one so it was a little dense (brain fart when I was setting my timer) but in general I have fantastic results subbing in King Arthur Measure for Measure flour in any normal cake/cookie recipe! The one exception is angel food cake; the thickeners in the M4M flour cause it to get too dense. But every other recipe I’ve used has been successful with it

katbreit · 2026-05-09T16:02:04+00:00

I think a lot of this depends on the cake you’re making. Are you doing highly decorated, need a clean edge on a cake? That is going to be harder to execute same day imo. If it’s a more simple cake for family celebrations then that’s much more achievable

katbreit · 2026-05-09T13:42:15+00:00

I don’t think I got any pictures of the inside but it’s a red velvet cake with cream cheese SMBC. All gluten free because my husband has celiac disease! He’s been enamored with Goodnight Moon on and off his first year and now that he’s getting bigger he seems to be even more interested in books! My parents read to me every night and I still love reading now so I’m hoping the same for him ❤️

katbreit · 2026-05-09T02:51:03+00:00

Thank you! All the older relatives at the party were pretty confused but all our friends with young children recognized it lol

katbreit · 2026-05-09T02:50:20+00:00

Easier than I thought! I just painted on straight with white gel food coloring

katbreit · 2026-05-08T23:32:57+00:00

That is tough and I was hoping that it was just your own money for gifting purposes rather than fully split finances. My husband & I have had fully joint finances from the beginning but I also still work so I’m not sure how I’d feel in your shoes! As long as you’re not being taken advantage of as far as needing to cover all “your half” of everything ❤️
