Sometimes when I work night shifts, I forget to make dinner for Kyle. I usually realize it around 5 pm – right about the time I should be packing up my stuff and heading to the hospital. This isn’t a tragedy by any means, he’s a great cook, and could certainly make a good meal for himself. But I like making things easy for him when he gets home from a long work day (and hideous commute). Plus, it makes me happy (and I know he loves it). Doesn’t this look gourmet? I’m sure… Read more >

I hesitate to even use the word recipe in this post because these are more like ideas that you can take and use how you want. But that’s too long of a title. The first is creamy broccoli soup. teese mozzarella cheese is a solid cheese, so it needs liquid in order to combine with broccoli. Or a food processor. I steamed a bunch of broccoli, and then pulsed it in the food processor with the vegan cheese and plain almond milk until I had a decent texture. It was a little bland, so I… Read more >

This one can go a few ways… With basil on top. Or parmesan. Or cornbread. Or neither. Or all. The soup is based on Ashley’s simple tomato soup. Only mine’s vegan. And I added in quinoa. The basic ingredients were: 1 28 oz. can diced tomatoes, 1 28 oz. can fire roasted tomatoes, and 1 cup plain almond milk. To start I added some olive oil (enough to coat the bottom of the pot), garlic nuggets (Garlic Gold), onion powder, dried parsley, oregano, salt & pepper to the crock-pot and started… Read more >

I had an awkward transition mid-week from a normal routine to a night shift routine. The first day is always awkward. I woke up at 7:30 and tried to go back to sleep but wasn’t successful in the least. At 8 I gave up and showered. And breakfasted. With toast and eggs x2. And iced tea with almond milk. It seems to be my summer breakfast of choice. Before yoga I had a banana. And then I got zen. Ommmmm. As per usual, I went to the WF across the street afterwards. Juice! I can’t… Read more >
