This is an attempt at a “what I ate” full day of food. I think I got everything. Cantaloupe. With this, I get credit for vitamin C, vitamin E, riboflavin, folic acid, & B vitamins…it satisfies both a fruit and leafy green requirement as per What To Expect. Efficiency in my nutrition – I like it! For breakfast we were out of iced tea AND eggs. Basically a mini disaster. I made decaf tea in as little water as possible and cooled it down to room temp with a ton of almond milk. It… Read more >

How I’ve been using up juice pulp is with simple and simpler recipes. Like this quick savory breakfast fry. Quinoa & smoky tempeh strips with leftover carrot pulp (or whatever pulp you have on hand…be it kale, cucumber, etc.). Added to a pan with non-stick spray or olive oil and heated until it gets crispy. Served with a side of vitamins. Yum. There’s also quinoa quiche, which is highly adaptable depending on what veggies you have on hand. If you recall, we demolished this between the two of us in one night. You… Read more >

I have a million pics of meals with Udi’s GF buns. I’m not kidding. They are wonderful. And I got hooked when they were on sale, but now they are back to the (insane) $4.99/4 buns. Grrr. It’s a love affair mostly exclusive to breakfast but it does make it’s way to later meals too. Breakfast: toasted bun with Earth Balance, fried egg, and farmer’s market strawberries (SO GOOD!) Lunch: almond butter and banana sandwich on a bun The rest of the banana was eaten plain with extra spoonfuls of almond butter. I was… Read more >

Where oh where to begin. Last weekend was so full. On Thursday we drove home via the glorious I-5. If I had to guess how much of my life I’ve spent on that drive… So Thursday morning I got up early because I had a few things I wanted to get done before the commute home. First, breakfast. Another vegan tofu “scramble” with a sliced peach on the side (as if you couldn’t figure out what that fruit was). And my folate, DHA and iced tea. Naturally. After breakfast, I ran some errands, and then… Read more >

Alternative title for this post: the day I ate an entire avocado. Oh look! A non-egg breakfast! We were out of eggs, so the night before I made a vegan alternative. Just silken lite tofu, nutritional yeast, & Bragg’s liquid aminos. [Lots of nooch] Then in the morning all I had to do was add it to a hot pan (sprayed with non-stick) and wait for it to get warm and kinda crusty (I don’t know a better word to describe it). In all honesty, I usually use extra firm tofu in scrambles,… Read more >
