When I say sticky orange tempeh, I mean it. This is sticky sweet yummy. Can you tell from the way the sauce coats the tempeh? I’m not a tempeh lover…it’s just not my fave (unless someone else – like a vegan restaurant chef – prepares it). So I was pretty surprised by how much I liked this dish. I really really liked it. I could eat tempeh like this every day of the week. Seriously. Sticky Orange Tempeh [vegan, gluten free] Ingredients: 1 block (8 oz.) tempeh, cubed (I used Lightlife’s organic… Read more >

I decided I should probably do pregnancy posts more frequently now that I’m getting down to the home stretch. We’re gonna be parents!!!!!!! It’s hard to believe I’ve been pregnant for all this time and it’s only just starting to hit me that we are going to be mom + dad for the next however many years. That’s way different than just Kyle + Elise. Hard to believe we were once just dumb college kids! Now we have to pretend to act like adults so our kid doesn’t figure out that we’re really winging it. … Read more >

Since a lot of people have been interested in our budget friendly meal planning, here’s what we had this past week. [Spoiler alert: they’re all really inexpensive dinners] Monday Egg noodles with teriyaki tofu, broccoli, & cashews The organic broccoli was leftover from one of last week’s dinners.

As usual, the ‘fu was pressed for 2-3 hours, then baked for… Read more >

Sunday is typically when we do our weekly grocery shopping. I usually brainstorm meals for the week on Saturday, asking Kyle for input (like if he’s craving something in particular that he wants me to make in the next few days) and then I create a grocery list that includes all the necessary ingredients (plus whatever things have already been added to the list throughout the week). We usually drag our feet all weekend long, waiting until Sunday evening to go to Whole Foods, because we both loathe shopping (I’m not sure when this developed… Read more >

I (semi) promised my G-ma that I’d post about our baby shower (although you’ll notice I made no such promise about how timely the post would be). [Me + G-ma] In truth, I didn’t take my camera because I was just going to soak up all the fun and family time. But my aunt, cousins, sister, and mom did SUCH an outstanding job with everything – from the decor to the food – that I feel compelled to share. I’ll include a vegan/gluten free dessert recipe, too (so it’s worth your while to read). iPhone… Read more >
