‘Aint nothing wannabe about it

Evan’s vegan fudge is no joke.  I can’t put it into words.  I mean, look at that! Still not sure why he’s a “wannabe” chef.  As far as I’m concerned, this dessert is about as close to heaven as it gets.  For Evan’s recipe, click here.  I altered mine because I didn’t have some of the ingreds on hand, so I made the following changes. Ingredients: 1 cup vegan chocolate chips 2 tbsp. cocoa powder 1/2 cup coconut oil vegan butter substitute the Earth Balance was empty when I opened it 1/8 cup almond milk… Read more >

Liquid love for my achy heart

Still ailing…aching from head to toe.  Brain, body, pretty much everything.  And I’m really getting sick of peanut butter and jelly sandwiches.  Blah.  Today I had a sneaky chef moment, though.  As my girl Holly says, “sharing is caring” so here you go:  When you’ve hit the wall with carbs and nutbutter (the horror!), but you still have zero desire to eat greens, here’s a delicious way to cheat them into your bod.  PB & Greens Smoothie 3/4 cup almond milk 1 frozen banana 2 shafts of kale, leaves only 3 tbsp smooth peanut butter… Read more >

Build me up butternut

These past few days I’ve been sick.  You may have noticed since my posts haven’t been food journal style, but rather recipes, restaurant & product reviews.  No worries, I’ve been downing Kombucha bottle by bottle, and I’m finally starting to feel ok-ish.  This is all very timely, given my first day of work was yesterday.  [Sigh]  Figures.  But anyways, as you can imagine, liquids have been a mainstay in my diet over the last 24 hours.  Here’s one of the lovely liquid concoctions I “whipped up” between catnaps.  As an aside, I’m always reluctant to… Read more >

Paper Gangster

I am so sick of signing waivers, forms, consents, and agreements, I just want to start nursing! This morning I woke up bright and early to head to HR (again) for paperwork (again).  I did manage to cross two things off my to-do list before hitting the road (I wish one of those things had been “pack up an extra cup of coffee for the road” because this was definitely a two cup kind of day…).  I ended up stopping at Starbucks (shock).  And of course I had an apple on stand by (shock).  … Read more >

Days that start with the letter “s”

Saturday was a work day.  F to the U.N.  Packed nom-noms are some of the usual suspects, as well as some new members.  Carrots, salad, apples, bars, and a baggie of goodies.  Tummy-wise, I felt a little bit better, but certainly not great.  In the non-transparent bag: almonds, carob chips, raisins, pistachios, cashews, and pretzels. This Belle Bananas Foster flavored 18 Rabbits bar was another winner.  I’m not usually a banana nut fan, but this may be the bar that changes that.  It’s oaty, with good breakability, perfect level of sweetness, and reminds me of… Read more >
