Not meatballs. I should have made a bigger batch of these coconut macaroon things because Kyle ate half of them before I even tried one. Work food. Banana. Carrots. Macaroons. It would probably blow your mind to know how many carrots we go through in our little hippie household. I eat half a pound a day, minimum. If our fridge were bigger it would be packed with orange. As it is, we have one crisper drawer solely devoted to those two pound bags (plural). Almond milk is another thing we seem to restock at… Read more >

I figured a break from DC posts was due. This beautiful meal can be made effortlessly – and you probably have all the ingredients in your pantry already! Who doesn’t have a few cans of soup lying around? Or (brown) rice. It doesn’t really matter what soup you use. Anything bean or lentil based is perfect. But that’s not to say a chunky vegetable and tomato soup wouldn’t work wonderfully as well. I’m partial to Dr. McDougall’s because they are vegan (many are gluten free too) and I like supporting his efforts to… Read more >

If you think the dough is the best part of a pizza, you may want to reconsider after this post… I think Kyle’s parents thought they were opening a pizza parlor when they went shopping for dinner. No ingredient left behind. Toppings: marinara spinach feta arugula parmesan red onion parsley red bell peppers basil yellow bell peppers goat cheese avocado tomatoes mozzarella green bell peppers roasted red peppers And those were just the raw toppings! For the grilled veggies, we had million dollar mushrooms. All we did was sauté them in olive oil. … Read more >

If there were any title more appropriate, I’d go with it, but this is really just a bunch of pics that have accumulated…and if they help give you ideas on healthy FODMAPS options, great. If not, sorry for this post’s random nature. Two recent recipes inspired this meal: Jenna’s veggie fried rice and Evan’s fried quinoa. I make quinoa in bulk at the beginning of every week. Without fail. Some weeks I make two batches because I go through it so quickly. I use my rice cooker, so it’s a completely mindless activity…as second… Read more >

Last Friday was a wonderful work day because the entire time I was looking forward to my weekend. Kyle and I had fun plans that involved good food, family time, and lots of relaxing. But things took a turn in the afternoon. Because I was at work, I didn’t get the voice message or email until my lunch break: G-ma’s at the hospital. For those who don’t know, my Grandma is not your average Grandma. [June, 2011] She works. She (attempts to) beat me in cards and darts. And, as much as we all hate… Read more >
