All about hemp milk

Obviously I didn’t invent hemp milk, so this post is not going to be super detailed on the tutorial end, however, I did do lots of research about hemp seed sources that I think could be helpful to have all in one place for others.  Since many companies that package/manufacture/sell hemp seeds also package/manufacture/sell nuts (and other allergens) I wanted to contact as many as I could to find out the details on their standards of co-packing.  There were a few who didn’t respond to my email, which I indicate below, but the rest were very… Read more >

Granola that’s chewy

This is like candy disguised as a breakfast cereal. I’m hesitant to call it my best ever granola, because my quinoa granola is kinda my signature recipe, but this one is really amazing. It only lasted a couple of days…probably because it’s been sitting on the counter so I just pick at it all day long.  CAN’T. STOP. Chewy Sweet Blueberry Granola [vegan, gluten free, FODMAPs friendly] Ingredients: 1/2 cup whole rolled oats 1/2 cup (gluten free) creamy buckwheat cereal (I used Bob’s Red Mill brand) 1/4 cup ground flax seeds (I used Linwoods nuts… Read more >

Leftovers multiple ways

Last weekend we went to Veggie Grill for takeout.  You get a free entree for your birthday and since you have until the end of the month to use it, I was almost out of time!  I decided to try something new (I figured since it was free I should order something that I wouldn’t ordinarily get).  I hate to say it but I may have OD-ed on the All Hail Kale Salad. I didn’t feel like a salad, but I didn’t want a sandwich or burger either (I wasn’t gonna do the wheat thing,… Read more >

What I Ate

It’s been a long time since I did a “what I ate in a day” style post, but I feel like returning to my OG format for the a moment.  Here goes. Breakfast: Vegan & GF pancakes (made with Bob’s Red Mill mix and almond milk).  I didn’t use any kind of vegan egg substitute, I just left it out.  I also used only almond milk (rather than the water/oil combo they recommended). I topped it with warm peanut butter and banana slices.  Half the banana went into my mouth before it made it onto… Read more >

Pancake afternoons

I like to make more luxurious breakfasts for myself on the days that I work night shift.    I try and sleep in as long as possible and make breakfast fare later in the day as a means of tricking myself into thinking it’s early in the day (when it’s actually the afternoon).  That way it doesn’t seem to bizarre going to work in the evening.  It’s silly, but it’s what I do.    Today I made pancakes, which I topped in chocolate peanut sauce and maple syrup.   Thanks to Bob’s Red Mill and… Read more >
