I have been a slacker! Rather than let these photos cause my 900th computer crash fall by the wayside, how about we play a quick little game of catch (up)? Last week, vital wheat gluten met my bestie, the chickpea. I went with the tried and true (recipe from V’con) for chickpea seitan cutlets. Can cookbooks win Pulitzers? So simple, so genius. I barely let them cool before taste testing them out on a piece of bread (and subsequently losing a layer of skin on the roof of my mouth). Yum yum. The magic bullet… Read more >

My oh my! You kids certainly know how to make a girl blush. Thanks so much for all the flattering and totally unsolicited slightly invited compliments about my race – kidding!! 😉 I really enjoyed writing about the emotional side of this race. Often times, it seems like the physical side of racing gets the spotlight, and I thought the mental aspect should take the forefront for a change. For me, this is actually the more difficult part of running long distances, and something I am still working on (as evidenced by yesterday’s struggles). Anyways. After… Read more >

I loved hearing about all your PM routines! Such planners we all are. Well, most of us… I have to say, it’s a little reassuring to know there are other freaks out there just like me. As I said before, I was kinda behind getting my ducks in a row on Thursday night. As a result, I expended minimal energy making this lunch (probably a 2 out of 10 on the effort scale). Basically, I just kept adding more snacks in the hopes that the next day there would be at least something I wanted… Read more >

I started the day with a raging headache. WTF?! No fair >:( Nothing a little caffeine couldn’t fix, right? Wrong. So, I pulled out the big guns Excedrin and distracted myself with brekkie until the meds kicked in. Food = happy hippie. Not the most inspiring meals. Sorry. I did make a fabulous lunch to make up for it, though. Dave’s Killer Bread (I’m down to my last slices, eek!), CAKED with tofummus, spinach, and LightLife’s Smart Deli “turkey.” CAKED I tell ya… See it and weep. After my tummy was satisfied, I decided to… Read more >

I’m gonna gloss over my AM eats because they weren’t too interesting. If I were on Top Chef I’d call it a de-constructed smoothie, but I’m not, so for blog purposes it’s simply frozen nanner slices in a Blueberry Chobz. Told you I like bananas Jess! Lunch was a fantastic plate of yum. On a bed of fancy shmancy lettuce and broccoli slaw, I added my WF baked tofu leftovers, baby carrots, and a few blobs of tofummus. I was feelin’ the ‘fu BIG TIME. Mmmm… Perfectly protein packed. I’m already on my second batch… Read more >
