You all know I’m frugal. And that I like re-working leftovers. This is not news. So when Alene & Ethel sent me home with extras from the shower, I was really excited to transform them into new dishes not have to cook for a while. Orzo salad with sun dried tomatoes. Quinoa with edamame, kale, and tomatoes. Both of these dishes made their way into the weekly dinner plan immediately. Since the orzo salad had an Italian/Mediterranean flavor profile going on already, I just added to it. Cubed some (drained, uncooked, firm) organic tofu… Read more >

This weekend was just plain awesome. I don’t know what else to say. My sister came to visit. My friends threw me a baby shower. And I just felt so loved. And fortunate. Things are good. Thursday night was tree decorating and burrito bar. On Friday, my sister arrived! Hooray 🙂 While she was doing the oh-so-hideous I-5 drive, I woke up early, made breakfast (the standard egg and GF bread with Earth Balance), and read. I had a snack a little later. Rice cakes with nut butter & dried fruit is becoming… Read more >

First order of business, the gardein winners. #8 Robin O., #25 Erica Wollman, and #28 Debbie. Email me with your addresses. Now. Let’s do a full day of food, okay? This is from over a week ago. I woke up way too early after sleeping way too little. Nothing new. I had milky coffee. And holiday waffles with an egg. Oh gorgeous froth. About two hours later, I was hungry (again), so I made a sweet potato hash. I made it the same way as I previously posted. You’d think the coconut oil would have… Read more >

I was off this weekend (which is abnormal since I was also off last weekend and I usually have an every other schedule). So exciting!! Saturday morning. Frothy mocha flavored milk. Home-made bread. Toasted to oblivion. Buttered up the yin yang. Fried egg on the side. Farmer’s market. Restoration Hardware baby & child grand opening. They have a dresser named after me (too bad these are all too expensive). Need to hit up some garage sales asap. College football. Lunch. Breakfast grain mix. Seitan. Carrots. Nutritional yeast. Snack. Sabra spinach & artichoke hummus. Carrots…. Read more >
