Chickpeas & Bread

  I made this for Kyle, not sure how he’d like it.  He is picky about things that try to mock tuna salad (he loves TVP, but won’t try my TVP "tuna" salad for some reason).  The good news?  He really liked it.  He also said it reminded him of tuna salad.  Maybe it’s been a while since he’s had tuna because I definitely disagree.  This chickpea salad isn’t tuna-esque at all.  But whatever.  He liked it, so that’s all that matters.  Oh, and I think it’s pretty good too.  😉   Quickie Chickpea Salad… Read more >

In & out of labor

I worked Saturday, but had Sunday and Monday off.  Wee! Let’s fly through Saturday so I can show the fun stuff.  I got up at 4:30 am to work out.  It was mediocre since I had a headache.  I don’t know that my heart rate got up since there wasn’t any cardio going on, but I did some weight stuff, resistance bands, and yoga/stretching for 30 minutes.  My headache disappeared once I drank a few glasses of water (and a mug of almond milk/coffee).  My half-caf-java was followed by the above breakfast of vanilla soy… Read more >

‘Fus and don’ts

I will never tire of puns.  Ever.  As long as I’m the one saying them, that is.  I don’t have the same policy when it comes to my dad’s or Kyle’s.  Last month I made baked BBQ tofu and promised you all the recipe.  Then I ate it all, took no photos, and realized I suck.  Blogger fail.   No worries, I made it again.  And it was just as good this time.  Here’s what I used: 1/2 block pressed tofu (I used the other half for I don’t remember what) 3 tbsp. of BBQ… Read more >

Expo Explosion

Imagine a Whole Foods the size of 15 football fields…now imagine browsing it’s aisles for two days straight…now imagine representatives from every product giving your samples of their latest and greatest to try (for free!)…and THAT, my friends, is EXPO WEST. In other words, hippie heaven. Friday started bright and early as Kyle and I made our way to Anaheim to register and all that jazz.  And before we knew it, the doors pearly gates opened and BAM! Instantly we were slammed with people pushing samples at us…nibbles and bites of savory, creamy, sweet, smooth,… Read more >
