the silk comeback

Oh, SILK soy milk, how I missed you – let me count the ways.  Glass of silk before leaving for work Silky soy latte from Starbucks to kick start my first day back on the unit Soy misto with lunch (from Starbucks, too) And that’s only noon! Here’s my sammie, packed the night before.  It’s smart deli “turkey” with the works. This baby never disappoints!  I also had a Berries GoMega odwalla bar with my AM coffee and the dried fruit with my PM JUG of apple juice.  Yeah, I really really sugar loaded at… Read more >

A tofu kind of day

Okay, what I really should have called this post was a Gliding Calm kind of day…you’ll see why soon enough!  Hint: squash fries, tofu And now for some complaining… Yesterday evening the flurries started, but the temperature didn’t stay below freezing, so overnight it turned into rain.  Lemme tell ya, today was gross!  All day long it was POURING outside.  I can’t WAIT to get away from this snow/rain slush and laze about in the sunshine.  I can’t stand this nasty sleet for much longer.  Thank goodness it’s only 3 days until Cabo!!!!  Okay, whining… Read more >

Part of the cool kids club

Today was quite the experimental cooking day.  Lately, I’ve been salivating reading all my fellow bloggers’ delish recipes, not to mention jealous that I haven’t had time to sample the popular dishes on my own!  Desperate to join in on the action and give my own reviews, I grabbed my chef hat and decided to seize the day…  I don’t have Veganomicon, but if all goes well today, I may have to make a trip to Barnes & Noble.  I started cooking in the AM, pretty much right after I woke up.  Okay, actually I… Read more >

my REAL christmas

Thanks to the time zone changes, my circadian rhythm was totally messed up, so I was up early, while everyone else slept in…well, not everyone. My mom was in the kitchen already starting the cooking/baking/prep and one set of Aunt and Uncle were off for their AM walk. I sat in the kitchen with my mom and made myself a big mug of coffee.My parents have the same froth machine as I do, so I made a nice perfectly foamy (and lactose free) coffee. Then I got ready for company (since people were coming over… Read more >

circus

Top of the morning! Well, this morning I woke up because I couldn’t breathe (nose clogged, throat sore). Not the best way to start the day. The good news was that I could buy the new B Spears cd (hooray for healthy Britney) and enjoy it during breakfast. Since I am mega sick, I thought I would give my body a big breakfast to fight off the infection (I am supposed to work tomorrow). I’m not a big breakfast person, but desperate times call for desperate measures. I finished a lot of containers this morning… Read more >
