All aboard the magic bullet train

Remember all of the errands I briefly mentioned yesterday? FINALLY!  I know it’s no food processor, but I wanted something on the less $$ side to tide me over until next year when I hit the kitchen appliance jackpot we register for our wedding. I can’t even TELL you how excited I was to use this baby. Unfortunately, I worked all day (on a Saturday – boo!), so my mind was preoccupied by more pressing matters, but as soon as I was out of the hospital, my mind began racing with all the possibilities.  I… Read more >

I love Lucy

And fruit.  And cooking.  And cooking delish vegan food for non-vegans.  This weekend I was able to enjoy all of these things.  So much to say!  Let’s back up to when the fun began…Friday. I was craving fruit like nobody’s business. No really. I think I made my point, yes? Kiwis are so sexy!  They are one of the prettiest fruits, I think.  So after I digested my fruit baby 😉 Kyle and I packed our bags and peaced out.  Greyhound tix in hand, we boarded the bus…Atlantic City baby!!!  My enthusiasm lasted all of… Read more >

pizza and ice cream

At the risk of sounding insensitive, is anyone else really sick of all this Michael Jackson coverage?  I loved the king of pop just as much as the next person, but excessive coverage has come and gone…at this point, it is borderline hideous.  What ever happened to just having a moment of silence to show your respect? Rather than undergo 20 minutes of channel flipping to avoid the aforementioned topic, my tivo (aka Kathy Griffin) came to the rescue. As did Starbucks’ gazebo blend 🙂 Can I help it if I crave sweets for breakfast? … Read more >

I is for Insomniac

You guys are SO hilarious!  I love that so many people noticed and commented on the lack of hummus (gasp) in my previous post, I literally laughed out loud.  Apparently I have a trademark that I wasn’t aware of until now.  Well, if it helps you sleep at night, I made up for it with a crap load of chickpea love today 🙂 The plum/melon fruit platter (above) was my dessert last night, btw.  I thought I’d try and get to bed EXTRA early since I have been having MAYJ sleep issues.  For reals.  This… Read more >

Red, white and…black bean burger

I know Independence wasn’t official until the 4th, but for the sake of my blogging and working schedule, I’m pretending America was born this Friday.  Ya dig?  On that note, what’s a 4th of July celebration without burgers? Vegan black bean/quinoa burgers of course! Kyle was on a flight to CA, so I had the day off with no agenda whatsoever, so I decided to spend some time cooking.  I’ll be working the next 3 days in a row (Sat/Sun/Mon) so I wanna get stocked up to minimize (eliminate) my dinner prep. I’ve been wanting… Read more >
