My second glucose test was this morning. This time I had to drink 100 g of glucose. After fasting for >8 hours. So last night I got home from work, showered, ate a low carb dinner and tried not to think about how my body was about to enter starvation mode. My seitan and daiya dinner would have made Mr. Atkins so proud. My body really doesn’t like being without whole grains. I was itching to throw my vegan “cheese-steak” on some whole wheat bread. In the end I added a bit of quinoa to… Read more >

I’m in the process of trying to clean out the freezer and use up things that I’ve been storing since 2010. Which includes some frozen meals that I got long ago with various coupons. Side note: Now I know why I don’t buy frozen meals…I forget about them! This red curry with vegetables (with tofu and rice) is by Sukhi’s, a company that’s based in the Bay Area, and has numerous other products I like (ie the naanwich). Anyway, the ingredients list is one I approve of, with all real foods and spices I… Read more >

My birthday week started last weekend with apple picking. After that we headed to lunch at Mendocino Farms. As much as I love the place, it’s not conveniently located for me. But since we had already been in the car for well over an hour, we figured what’s an extra few miles out of the way? Kyle got the Modern Tuna Melt which has “all white Albacore tuna with fresh herbs, farm house cheddar, vegenaise, housemade pickles, red onions, tomatoes, Scarborough Farm’s greens on panini grilled buckwheat.” He nixed the pickles, obviously, and deemed it… Read more >

This product right here was reason enough for me to go against my usual standards and indulge in non-organic greek yogurt. I only bought two, proving that self restraint does in fact exist within me. It’s tangy, tart, and only slightly sweet with hints of ginger and orange. I loved it. Had Kyle not been shopping with me, we’d probably have 500 in our fridge right now. I wonder how long they’ll have these seasonal treats in stock? Runner up in the pumpkin department goes to this coffee blend. Still obsessed. Next item on… Read more >
