I was going to call this sights unseen, but I took photos, so obviously it CAN be seen! Here are a few things that didn’t quite deserve a spot in the two-a-day challenge, but were still worth sharing. Snack of vegan and gluten free champs. Mary’s Gone Crackers and Daiya cheddar wedge. Runner up snack: La Boulange bread with avocado and salt. Dad showing his Sabra love. Balsamic Brussels (for the Christmas Eve caroling party). My parents’ freezer (aka proof of where I get my OCD tendencies and caffeine addiction). They’re Peet’s devotees, particularly… 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 >

Kyle’s coworkers tease him (in a fun, non-mean way) about his healthy vegetarian lunches. Apparently he’s the organic, non GMO hippie of his office, just like I am in mine. 🙂 Now his colleagues are wondering when I’m going to start packing food for all of them. Which I’m considering a victory for veggies everywhere. Thanksgiving leftovers on quinoa. Oatmeal & snacks. Spaghetti. Crock-pot potato chowder (recipe coming). Pita SB&J with organic Swanson sunbutter and home-made pluot plum jam. 18 Rabbits gracious granola packet with organic vanilla greek yogurt. Scrambled mish… Read more >

I know Thanksgiving was ages ago, but I’m only just getting around to uploading photos and such because my week/end was SO packed I couldn’t be bothered to worry about blogging in a timely manner. Shorts and a tank top in late November…must be Southern California… For the first time in as long as I can remember ever (!!) I got the holiday – PLUS it’s surrounding days – off of work. Kyle and I took full advantage, and drove down to his parents’ house in San Clemente on Wednesday afternoon, to stay through… Read more >

Since I previously posted this week’s prep and my game plan, I figured I might go into the specifics for a few of the meals that I mentioned. And show how the rest of the week turned out in terms of the schedule. Monday As planned, I made Emily’s miso sweet potatoes (which we had with vegan chili) for dinner. As part of the pre-week prep, I had roasted 4 huge sweet potatoes, which was more than enough for the two of us. Needless to say, we had a ton of leftovers for the rest… Read more >
