A bun rut

I have a million pics of meals with Udi’s GF buns.  I’m not kidding.  They are wonderful.  And I got hooked when they were on sale, but now they are back to the (insane) $4.99/4 buns.  Grrr.  It’s a love affair mostly exclusive to breakfast but it does make it’s way to later meals too. Breakfast: toasted bun with Earth Balance, fried egg, and farmer’s market strawberries (SO GOOD!) Lunch: almond butter and banana sandwich on a bun   The rest of the banana was eaten plain with extra spoonfuls of almond butter.  I was… Read more >

Accidentally GFV

Alternative title for this post: the day I ate an entire avocado.   Oh look!  A non-egg breakfast!  We were out of eggs, so the night before I made a vegan alternative.  Just silken lite tofu, nutritional yeast, & Bragg’s liquid aminos. [Lots of nooch] Then in the morning all I had to do was add it to a hot pan (sprayed with non-stick) and wait for it to get warm and kinda crusty (I don’t know a better word to describe it).   In all honesty, I usually use extra firm tofu in scrambles,… Read more >

Reuniting with the fam

As I previously mentioned, Kyle and I were in Nor Cal (Elk Grove) for a family reunion this past weekend.  It was for Kyle’s mom’s side of the family…and over 50 people (!!!) made the trek.  Part of the reason I had been waiting to share my pregnancy on the blog was because we wanted to tell people in person at this reunion…and you know how once things leak online they make their way to facebook two seconds later and then the whole world knows (not that that’s a bad thing, we just wanted to… Read more >

Party of four

  What. A. Breakfast.  You’ve seen this before here.  I live and die by this sauce.   I had it with leftover pizza.    Some dip pizza in ranch dressing…I go for creamy cashew dijon sauce. I was planning on grocery shopping in the afternoon, but the weather was too nice to ignore.  You see, every once in a while, the coastal fog cooperates and I get gorgeousness on my days off.  Which means, beach time! Don’t let the running shoes deceive you.  This was a leisurely walk.  For a July week day, the pier… Read more >

Working then eating

Work food.     I didn’t take photos of my breakfast oats because they’re monotonous and (quite frankly) snooze-inducing at this point. Can I get a virtual high five for weaning myself down to ZERO pieces of gum?!  Heyooo!  More on that on my FODMAPs site. Post-work food. Herbed bread twists made from scratch [vegan].  They are like little pillows of carbohydrate heaven. Brown rice & veggie quiche [vegetarian, gluten free].  A twist on this recipe. Mac ‘n Cheese [vegan].  I added in spinach because green-less meals make me sad. Do you plan dinner before… Read more >
