Recently, I got an email from a reader (hi Elaine!) with some vegetarian cooking related questions. I figured rather than respond via email, I’d answer in a post (in case others are wondering too). Since there are quite a few questions though, I am going to go through them one at a time. And so continues the “readers request” post series. Elaine: I’m not the most confident-in-the-kitchen girl, especially when it comes to veggies. I love veggies, but since moving out on my own, I usually go for frozen instead because I’m not sure how… Read more >

As Thanksgiving approaches, more and more emails requesting veg-friendly recipes have been trickling in. The common concern seems to be making plant based dishes that are yummy & hearty, and don’t scare off meat eaters. As a vegan, I totally understand the anxiety that comes with meat-centric gatherings. When I first went veg, dining with my immediate family wasn’t a problem, but at larger group meals I frequently found myself limited to bread and salads. It didn’t take long for me to realize that I had to take matters into my own hands. My suggestion… Read more >

This past weekend alone was ridic…Finn turned two, my parents came into town, and a bunch of friends got together for the MS walk…oh and then there was my sister-in-law’s wedding shower. Yeah. That’s normal. I truly love being with family and friends, so this weekend was all about them and not so much about nursing or blogging. In the words of Jackie O, “I want to live my life, not record it.” And yet, I did record some of it…just not very… Read more >

Just as I expected, you guys had such thoughtful responses to The Cove. It’s hard to not react with outrage, disgust, and horror when you find out such hideous things are going on in secret. It makes me want to take action immediately. Or at the very least do my part to help spread the word. So there you have it. Please see this film. As for Sunday. The post title pretty much sums it up. Breakfast didn’t really exist since I slept in so late. I made this bowl of oats just before the… Read more >

I worked Monday and Tuesday. This means that I’m now playing catch up in life and on the blog. Being out of town this weekend meant that my pre-work food prep was minimal. However, Kyle and I stopped on the way home from San Clemente for a huge grocery shopping trip, so it wasn’t a complete scavenger hunt. For breakfast I mixed up my normal oat routine by adding in wheat bran. Also in the mix was a chopped up baby yellow delicious apple, cinnamon, stevia, and raisins. The wheat bran didn’t change much in… Read more >
