Trick or (vegan) Treats

I really enjoyed all your giveaway entries.  Sounds like we are all very similar in what we enjoy doing on our days off – relaxing!  As per random generator, the winner of the $65 CSN stores giveaway is Grace, who said:  “I would definitely do a ton of gardening and then of course, cook! There is nothing better than tasty food that you can take the time to prepare.” Congrats Grace! I have yet another giveaway coming soon, but I’m kinda up to my knees getting adjusted with my new work schedule.  Until then, here’s… Read more >

You know you’re a food blogger when…

You choose an apartment based on optimal lighting for food photos…   Your first Netflix movie selection is Food Inc…     You miss weddings for food festivals…   Water and power outages affect your food prep and meal planning more than your acts of daily living (i.e. showering)… New food products generate more enthusiasm than "normal" things (like birthdays)…   "Battery card full" may as well mean "you will be eating a cold dish” (aka “don’t touch this food until I free up space")… You are ecstatic over the return of a $4 fermented… Read more >

$$ in your pocket

On my days off, I like to sleep in.  The first thing I do upon waking up is wash my face and brush my teeth.  But less than a second after, I make coffee.

All while enjoying coffee.  Coffee topped with froth and cocoa, to be exact.  At least, that’s what I did on Friday. I also had the last piece… Read more >

Flashback Friday: Hawaiian honeymoon day 2

On our second day in Kauai, we decided to venture to another part of the island for a hike.  The weather was on and off drizzle and rain, so it’s a good thing we didn’t go with the convertible rental…  Nature lovers. Waimea Canyon was breathtaking.  I’ve never seen a canyon before and it was a pretty cool phenomenon.  At 10 miles long, 1 mile wide, and more than 3,500 feet deep, it is the largest canyon in the Pacific and truly a dramatic sight.  But almost as thrilling was the number of roosters.  It… Read more >

Sweet and au naturel

My morning started with this newbie. To me, “Au Naturel”…is the classy way of saying “hippie food”…so clearly this was right up my alley.  Like the rest of Udi’s products, this granola is gluten free.  It also happens to be dairy free, soy free, nut free, and egg free (it’s is not vegan because it contains honey). The only ingredients are certified gluten free oats, wildflower honey and canola oil.  That’s it!  THREE ingredients.  No wonder they call it Au Naturel… I packed myself a tupperware full of granola to add to my (unpictured) plain… Read more >
