Juice pulp

How I’ve been using up juice pulp is with simple and simpler recipes.   Like this quick savory breakfast fry. Quinoa & smoky tempeh strips with leftover carrot pulp (or whatever pulp you have on hand…be it kale, cucumber, etc.). Added to a pan with non-stick spray or olive oil and heated until it gets crispy.   Served with a side of vitamins.  Yum. There’s also quinoa quiche, which is highly adaptable depending on what veggies you have on hand. If you recall, we demolished this between the two of us in one night. You… Read more >

Iced tea & grazing

As you can see, I like my iced tea reallly almond milky. How I make it is recipe-free, but I brew pitchers of tea at a time (no sweetener) using 4 tea bags for my 2 liter pitcher.  I add boiling water to it, let it steep for a while then put it in the fridge to cool (but continue to steep) overnight.  In the morning I remove the teabags. Then, each day I pour some over 3-4 ice cubes, and then add maple syrup and unsweetened vanilla almond milk. Sometimes I can get the… Read more >

All kinds of random

  Caramel and chocolate.  Almost better than nut butter and chocolate.  Almost. What could this be?  I love surprise packages.  Kyle’s a keeper.   I don’t want you to think Kyle and I are crazy stalkers, but we are both very much in love with Katie’s cute little family.  And texts like the above are not uncommon.  I mean seriously, how can you not melt??  Vegetable juice and french fries cancel each other out right?  I mean the fries were from Whole Foods…that’s gotta count for something.  Kyle wanted me to take a photo of… Read more >

Parties & Dates

After a long work week, Kyle and I soaked up the weekend like two sponges.  And of course, I’m only just now getting around to blogging about it.  So pathetic.  But let’s just pretend this is timely and the weekend was yesterday, okay? Starting with a Friday date night at Whole Foods.   He got off work before I did so he walked from our apt and met me there once I peaced out of the hospital.   I had salad bar ADD, but eventually got myself squared away with a monster salad – complete… Read more >

New shades & raw food

Just a typical morning bowl of oatmeal. The weird part about this breakfast was how I picked around the nuts.  I don’t know why, but I wasn’t in to them this morning.  The cinnamon and maple syrup were all the topping I needed.   After breakfast I set to work on mega errands.  Our laundry needed to be done immediately (our clothes reeked of smoke from our weekend away).  On top of that we had dirty dishes, an empty fridge, a thirsty tomato plant, and much much more.  To do list, game on.  Eventually, I… Read more >
