I promised a macaroon recipe and then went awol on ya! My bad. :P You can blame my patients for wearing me out… So how about some coconutty treats? After falling in love with Tropical Traditions’ coconut oil, I was delighted when they offered to hook me up with shredded coconut to sample. If I had an all-time-favorite-ingredient list, coconut would be rapidly rising the charts. It’s rivaling pumpkin right now, so that’s saying something! As soft and fine as the lightest snow flurries. [That’s a reference for my New York peeps. I’m (happily) far… Read more >

This weekend went by way too quickly. I played catch up the whole time, and it’s already over! :( All I do is make massive bulk meals for the week. Prep prep prep.

Brunch Coffee sprinkled with cocoa Sando with hummus and vegan “cheese” on Ezekiel heel pieces.

Up to this point in the weekend, the food at the festival had been good. Just good. Not great. Nothing had wowed me. In other words, I was still waiting to go gaga over something. In spite of this, I strutted into the Ferry Building with my chin up high. Brush that dirt off yo shoulder. Having seen the menu beforehand, my expectations weren’t high. In fact, I was a bit nervous about how vegan-izable the meals would be. Especially given the minimal veg-friendly options available at the previous Foodbuzz events. From left to right… Read more >

Monday had very little going on for me. My bicycle (which was getting new gear switcher thingies) was finally done and ready for pick up, but aside from that I did little else worth mentioning. I started the day with another carob coffee concoction. This time I added a tsp of carob powder to the milk during the frothing process. Turned out pretty well. Later on I had a big bowl of fruit, including two apples and some strawberries with cinnamon on top. I reread Skinny Bitch on Sunday night and it reminded me of… Read more >

Ok. Honestly? I’m feeling a bit sick…great way to start off married life, huh? It’s not surprising that an illness should strike now, after the intense go-go-go nature of the past month I guess I had it coming. My body must’ve caught wind that my defenses are (finally) down. Too much travel, too little sleep, and on top of it all, my eating habits have been ridiculously (and abnormally) erratic over the past week (see above breakfast of crackers & hummus). I guess my immune system deserves a day off…I just hope a day doesn’t… Read more >
