Four day weekend [part 1]

Is there anything better than a long weekend?  Yes.  And that’s a long weekend house dog sitting here. With sunny weather, golf course views, and a well stocked fridge, there’s no reason to venture further than the community pool.  Agreed? We drove down to San Juan Capistrano on Thursday evening and stayed through Monday.  Some friends joined us for part of the time.  We cooked.  We ate.  We drank.  We relaxed.  The weekend may as well be titled “blissful nothingness”.  It was perfect. When we first arrived, the priority was dinner.  That’s what 3 hours… Read more >

Philly: Old Nelson on the go

After brunch, my parents had to head to the airport, but Kyle and I still had a few hours to kill. We filled the time with a long stroll through campus followed by a trip to the 30th street train station.  We bought SEPTA tickets to the airport and food for the flight.  I’m sorry (but not really?) to say, I didn’t make into a Wawa over the weekend.   For non-Philly readers, I’d liken the chain to 7-Eleven, but for me the nostalgia of getting both coffee and soft pretzels is what makes the… Read more >

New Sabra (& giveaway winner)

You have corn tortillas, falafel, Sabra’s latest hummus, and a grilled green pepper.  What to do, what to do… Spoiler alert: this did not come remotely close to wrapping up.    Not to worry.  I took matters into my own hands.  Literally. And now for the giveaway winners!! #35 hipveganchic eggnog all the way? how on earth did they come up with that? pure genius!!! #70 Shelby (everydayvegangirl) Oh gosh, do I have to pick one?!?!? They all look decadent, but the salty chocolate is calling me!

Areas of Expertise

I consider myself an expert in two areas.  Hummus Granola Hippie staples, right?  I make damn good versions of both, but when it comes right down to it, certain brands can do wondrous things, thereby blowing my own creations out of the water.  We all know which hummus brand I prefer (I’m fairly transparent on the blog – hint: rhymes with jabra).    [Truthfully, I don’t think our fridge has been without Sabra.  Ever.] But until recently, I preferred my own quinoa granola to almost every store bought kind on the market.  This recipe gets… Read more >

Just add Sabra

To know me is to know I love hummus.  I mean really.  Even my coworkers (who don’t know jack diddley about me) know that I’m a chickpea connoisseur.  So how excited was I to get this in the mail?!?   SO EXCITED!  Naturally, I already had Sabra in the fridge because it’s the best.  And you can buy it in bulk at Costco.  I try to be rational when I’m in the super store, but when I see rows and rows of family sized tubs something happens to me.  I can’t explain it.  We almost… Read more >
