That would be the night shift. Oy. Why do they all go crazy when the sun sets? Why?!? That’s my attempt at taking a picture of the full moon. Mighty fine camera skills right thurr. As ridiculous as last night was (and trust me, it was plenty ridiculous), I made it home in one piece to curl up on the couch with a new Gossip Girl episode (finally!). And whatdoyouknow, this post seems to be making semi-sense, too (thus far…). Compared to Amy Winehouse, I have my sh!t together. Yesterday started the same as any… Read more >

Is it just me, or does my coffee froth look like a person running? I could be going crazy. It’s entirely possible. It’s actually the more likely scenario. Still, I couldn’t help but feel like my morning coffee was sending me subliminal messages. I ignored them and went for a bike ride instead. It was AWESOME. Before hitting the road, I had a bowl of oats with a chopped apple. Don’t be deceived by the above photo, though. This batch of oats was anything but average. I bulked up the 1/2 cup rolled oats with… Read more >

I created a recipe today. I’m not sure how to describe it, so I’ll just show you a photo (or twenty). “The unintentional cheesecake” was the alternate name for this beaut. It’s vegan. It’s delicious. It’s dessert. What more do you want to know? Perhaps how to make it? Okay. Triple Coconut Dessert Ingredients: Crust 9 graham crackers, crushed 1/2 cup melted vegan butter (ie Earth Balance) Filling 2 cups coconut flour 1/2 cup NuNatural’s stevia baking blend* 1 tsp baking powder 1 tsp arrowroot (or cornstarch) 1 pear, chopped 1 tbsp agave 2 1/2… Read more >

Just as I expected, you guys had such thoughtful responses to The Cove. It’s hard to not react with outrage, disgust, and horror when you find out such hideous things are going on in secret. It makes me want to take action immediately. Or at the very least do my part to help spread the word. So there you have it. Please see this film. As for Sunday. The post title pretty much sums it up. Breakfast didn’t really exist since I slept in so late. I made this bowl of oats just before the… Read more >

Isn’t there some good luck thing with black eyed peas and the new year? I swear I recall some tradition of the sort. It’s still January, so I think this recipe counts. [Edited to add: I just looked this up to confirm that eating black eyed peas on New Year’s Day is in fact a good luck tradition, as they are supposed to bring prosperity] Better late than never right? I’ve always had a weird fascination with black eyed peas. The black and white thing is creepy to me. Don’t they look evil? There’s a… Read more >
