Forget this Black Friday business, I’m too stuffed to function. I am actually having a hard time looking at the food photos I have from Thanksgiving…but the pictures of the kiddos…I could look at those all day. It may be a while before I can comfortably post Thursday’s meal(s), but I have pre-feast work food to share. First up, a peanut flour/oat breakfast. In addition to oats and peanut flour, I stirred in some home-made granola and chia seeds as well. Sometimes my breakfast bowls look semi-watery and I occasionally get questions… Read more >

Happy Thanksgiving!! [slash happy birthday to my sister] I’ve been working all week, so I don’t have anything that’s current to share. Mostly my same old same old. In lieu of a post about my work food, I’m just going to recap the remainder of my hangover recovery from last Sunday. But first, a simple THANK YOU to my readers. I love writing, but I admit it’s all the more enjoyable knowing there are other people out there who like reading my musings (besides my in-laws). I have a ton to be grateful for… Read more >

I never quite know when I’m going to get home on work days, but it’s usually around 8 pm. Showering is always my priority, which means dinner time is further delayed. This is why I do so much food prep (because there’s nothing more annoying than being starving and staring into an empty fridge). My essentials include greens and cooked grains. You can doctor those up in combination in so many ways. So whether I’m tossing quinoa, kale and sweet potatoes with a nutty sauce and crushed peanuts…or mixing swiss chard with a soy… Read more >

After 8 months and 30 (ish?) countries, my sister is officially back in The States. Her luggage isn’t, but that’s a different issue. I hadn’t actually touched base with her over the phone since mid-October, so it was nice to finally hear her voice again. Of course within 10 minutes of catching up, she told me some things she thought I needed to work on blog-wise. Ummm…thanks for the input Laura. ;) So this post is for her. There will be no recipes. Instead, I’ll share some of the other more random things that I’m… Read more >

This weekend was amazingly fun, and somehow I came away with zero photos. Zero! I’m blaming it on my super small clutch, which doesn’t fit a camera in any way shape or form. Anyway, as you can probably deduce from the title of this post, we’ve had some wild ones lately. It started with Friday night…followed by Saturday day. Weddings are the best! Sunday morning, however, was rough. How to do a hangover brunch vegan-style? There better be something with simple carbs and fat involved. And since my stomach is sensitive to greasy foods,… Read more >
