Lately I’ve been having such rando cravings, I feel like a preggo! (Don’t worry Mom…) I had frozen pizza just the other day, and yet, the following TWO days I had pizza as well. Seriously. Who am I? This is pretty odd considering pizza is not exactly a food I would typically associate with strong feelings of lust. Growing up, it was never a food I especially craved. As fun as pizza parties were, discovering I was lactose intolerant at such a young age severed any chance of forming the quintessential bond that most kids… Read more >

Yes. I have it. And although flair ups have been minimal since I’ve been vegan, I DO still have days when I feel like caca (ironically, from the absence of it). TMI? Sorry. Usually these days are brought on by stress, and as much as I try to avoid it (with my nice planned out schedules), sometimes life throws a wrench in it. Unavoidable. Deal. This weekend, with my 3 shifts in a row schedule, I had to make like Tim Gunn and “make it work.” Comfort foods, aplenty. Review: not too shabby in a… Read more >

My parents went to pick out our new puppy yesterday! I say “our” but I don’t live at home anymore, so it’s really theirs. But since it took over 3 months for all 5 family members to agree on the name, it’s safe to say it’s the family puppy. We had a German Shepherd when I was growing up, too. So we really wanted another. My mom holding Milo. Could he BE any cuter??? He’s only 4 weeks old now, so we have to wait ‘til he’s a bit older (and no longer breast… Read more >

I woke up today feeling exponentially better than the past 2 days. YES! So I made coffee and got to work MOVING! I made lots of progress, and hardly realized how quickly time was flying by. I had to go with a quick and easy lunch, so naturally I turned to my girl Amy. This company can do no wrong in my opinion. Every meal I have is better than the last. The delicious Indian Mattar Tofu was no exception. The above photo was straight out of the package. The below photo was after I… Read more >

You would never know how productive today was if you tracked me with a GPS (I was literally in the same square foot in my apartment for 99% of the day)…hunched over the computer BEGGING it to cooperate with me. I got up nice an early, even though I had today OFF from work :) I was thrilled beyond belief to get some extra rest all my errands done. Seriously, I had frothy coffee and soynut butter oats and then got crackin’… Oh, and soynut butter is ridiculously good, btw. This was my day. Restoring,… Read more >
