I’ve never officially joined in on the WIAW festivities, but today’s is a special edition, so I knew I had to partake. Unfortunately, I didn’t catch all my food on film (I forgot how hard it is to remember to take pics of every. single. thing!), but I did my best, despite being out and about for much of the day. My alarm went off at 8, but I didn’t get out of bed til 9. I was reading, and loving every page, but eventually the call of coffee dragged me from the sheets. I… Read more >

Last month my dairy-intolerant cousin and I were lamenting over how much we miss cheesecake. I’m sure we are biased, but our family’s recipe is pretty much the best. Ever. I grew up eating it at nearly every holiday and many birthdays too. Chocolate cake is fine, but I preferred a birthday cheesecake. Nowadays, there are very few foods that I miss from my pre-lactose-free-life, but cheesecake is definitely one of them. So I made it a personal mission to attempt a vegan version. Admittedly, it’s nothing like a “real” cheesecake, but when it comes… Read more >

To know me is to know I love hummus. I mean really. Even my coworkers (who don’t know jack diddley about me) know that I’m a chickpea connoisseur. So how excited was I to get this in the mail?!? SO EXCITED! Naturally, I already had Sabra in the fridge because it’s the best. And you can buy it in bulk at Costco. I try to be rational when I’m in the super store, but when I see rows and rows of family sized tubs something happens to me. I can’t explain it. We almost… Read more >

I’ll fly through the beginning of this post and get the part when (part of) my family is in town!! So tired I couldn’t even scoop my oats into the bowl. They were made with oats, buckwheat, apples, cinnamon, and vanilla stevia. Lunch was shake ‘n bake. Minus the bake. I just love using tupperware with lids to get dressing in every nook and cranny. This is especially important when it’s a delicious dressing like Follow Your Heart’s vegan caesar. It helps if you sing while you do it: shake shake shake, shake… Read more >

Ok, I know. It’s semi-odd to be roasting winter squash in June, right? But I had a butternut and delicata squash hanging around the kitchen and figured I better seize the day. So I hacked my way into them, lubed the skin down with coconut oil, and popped ‘em in the oven at 375. I made sure to salvage the seeds to roast too. They are loaded with iron and (quite frankly) delicious. Those didn’t get coconut oil though. They were sprayed with PAM and sprinkled in salt. Nada mas, nada less. I took the… Read more >
