Wedding, Beach & Tennis

What a weekend. It all started with a Friday wedding. Ok, actually it all started with a really awesome breakfast.   Oats topped in a perfectly fried egg and avocado. Kyle came home from work early, so I got to eat lunch with him, which was a nice change in routine. I had Amy’s golden lentil soup.  It was stellar!  I have already gone to the store to get another can, that’s how much I loved it.  I think this is now the best Amy’s soup I’ve ever tried. On the side I had carrots… Read more >

I’m sure at least a few of you saw that video way back when right? It’s now the anthem I sing in my head anytime I go to yoga. Normal? Nah.

Aka toast with Earth Balance and sugar and cinnamon sprinkled on top. Lovely. Since yoga was… Read more >

My 4 latest obsessions

This cd is so much FUN.  Pun intended. Iced tea.  Can’tstopwon’tstop.   After buying a big boy at le bux, I opted to brew my own at home.  And I can’t tell you how awesome it is to start my summer mornings with a nice cool drink.  Plus almond milk and maple syrup.   Heavenly.   Home-made bread. I eat these loaves faster than hummus.  And that’s saying something. This sauce.  With anything and everything.    Baked potatoes.  Eggs.  Hash browns.  Toast.  Quinoa.  Pizza.  A spoon.    You name it, I’ve tried it with this… Read more >

Raisinet cookies by Dreena

  When I was a tween (old enough to go to the movies by myself, but still requiring my parents’ economic assistance to do so) raisinets were my movie snack of choice.  I was never a popcorn or sour patch person.  I wanted raisinets.  For the record, my mom didn’t give us extra money for crap food.  We got just enough for the movie tickets.  So after my mom had dropped us off at the Orinda theatre, we’d quickly hit up the drug store across the street before heading into the theatre.  To get candy… Read more >

Planned dinners

The weekly planned dinners have continued with major (budget saving) success, but since I’m serrrriously behind in blogging, I figured I’d give you a teaser of what’s to come.   Wednesday dinner: veggie burger   Thursday dinner: veggie sausage, brown rice, spinach salad   Friday dinner: crock pot veggie chili Saturday dinner: BBQ   Sunday dinner: night shift @ work   I brought my standard seitan, quinoa, & carrot combo as a main. Monday dinner: brown rice and coconut/peanut tofu stir-fry   Tuesday dinner: pesto pasta Wednesday dinner: veggie sausage and sweet potatoes
