Another week, another lasagna

Pasta with tofu “ricotta” is really climbing the charts in favorite dinners.  I’m making some form of this dish every other week, at least.  Rather than manicotti, which we’ve had twice this month already, I made lasagna.   Same concept as this recipe – with hummus and tofu “cheese” and spinach layered between pasta and marinara sauce.   I made a double batch of the tofu & hummus “cheese” using two whole packages of extra-firm tofu and nearly one cup of hummus.    And I used 365 brand no-bake whole wheat lasagna noodles.   I… Read more >

Breeze Winners

Here’s the roster of ten…the lucky ones who will get free Almond Breeze almond milk. Don’t forget you can still win a lifetime supply though.  More info here.

New shades & raw food

Just a typical morning bowl of oatmeal. The weird part about this breakfast was how I picked around the nuts.  I don’t know why, but I wasn’t in to them this morning.  The cinnamon and maple syrup were all the topping I needed.   After breakfast I set to work on mega errands.  Our laundry needed to be done immediately (our clothes reeked of smoke from our weekend away).  On top of that we had dirty dishes, an empty fridge, a thirsty tomato plant, and much much more.  To do list, game on.  Eventually, I… Read more >

Still at it

I’ve been blogging for over 4 years. I know this because I remember Michael Phelps’ record relay swim was the very first day I blogged.  It’s hard to forget something that memorable.  Especially since I was at Boat Basin with friends and the scene was insane.  In a good way. Anyway, it’s crazy to me that I’ve been at this for so long…in all honesty, I never thought I’d write about food for any real length of time, but here I am, still doing it. My tastes have certainly changed along the way, but many… Read more >
