Lettuce cups

I feel like this post should come with a warning. If you’re the jealous type…then look away, because this post may just make you wish you were engaged to my fiancé 🙂 I’ll post more on the rest of my weekend meals later, but Sunday night deserves it’s own (detailed) explanation.  Kyle told me that he’d have a surprise waiting for me when I got home, and sure enough, I was totally blown away! He used the recipe for PF Chang’s lettuce wraps to replicate their famous dish – with a vegan (and HHH) twist. … Read more >

The Laws of Thermodynamics

The first law of thermodynamics states that heat is a form of energy, which can be transferred, but never created nor destroyed. The second law of thermodynamics states that the entropy of the universe always increases. The third law of thermodynamics implies that it is impossible to cool a system all the way to exactly absolute zero. Sure, it may seem weird to start a post with a science lesson, but like most other things in life, it can also be applied to food… 1.  Heat is a form of energy?!  Hell yeah it is!… Read more >

Avada Kedavra

My breakfast was a bit out of the ordinary. Coffee, normal.  Open faced grilled cheese, not normal?  On the side, I had two apples, which complimented the VeganRella mozz perrrrrfectly.  Crunch + melty = great (albeit bizarre) breakfast For lunch I made a tofu salad with a new twist on a fave recipe.  The last time I made this was a big success, so I recreated it, but with a few changes (less mayo, more tofu, brocc slaw instead of celery, shredded carrots instead of chopped). The result was just as successful.  I had it… Read more >

Too busy to break the fast

As promised, I had a chocolate-y delicious Amazing Green concoction for dessert Wednesday night. Notice the blender top?  Yes, I went for a more ambitious drink, and blended in ice and half a frozen banana to achieve the perfect chocolate banana dessert.  And I thought my high school weekend job would never come in handy!  Look at me now Jamba! Anyways, as always, I packed my lunch for work, which included the same cast of characters… Dried apples, dried mango, english muffin with it’s other half (hummus), choc/chip/peanut odwalla bar (see nutritionals above), apple, salad.  I… Read more >

chickpea cookies

Are you scared of the title?  Haha…don’t worry, I haven’t gone quite that hummus crazy (yet!). But I did bake a batch of falafel today, which looked pretty damn similar to (how I would picture) chickpea pastries.  But before I went to town in the kitch, I got my breks-face on. Coffee.  Froth.  Bluebeezies.  Chobani. I heart my antioxidants and Chobz knows how to do it right.  The store has been running on empty in the greek yogurt department, so I finally was able to re-stock.  I actually went to the grocery store at 9… Read more >
