Since I returned to eating eggs…a while ago…I no longer consider myself vegan. I’m basically a dairy free vegetarian. But that doesn’t mean I don’t like vegan food. I love it actually. I eat it often. And seeing as October was vegan mofo, I decided to recap some of my daily vegan eats. October 1: Spaghetti Squash with Marinara & Tofurky October 2: Quinoa & Seitan with Red Almond Sauce October 3: Mexican Layered Casserole October 4: Blue Plate’s vegan white bean soup and gardenburger salad October 5: Pumpkin Cheesecake Pie October… Read more >

Necessity is the mother of invention. At least that’s how the phrase goes. Desperation is more like it… The other night was just a typical night in the scheme of my pregnancy. I wasn’t craving anything remotely healthy, but I also couldn’t figure out what I even wanted to eat. Even though we had plenty of options in the fridge, I wasn’t feeling any of it. Kyle made himself dinner, but I didn’t want what he was having either. So I held out, waiting for my appetite to reveal itself. Finally I decided I wanted… 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 >

As per my previous few weeks, my Wednesday was more snack-y than meal-y in the AM. In addition to toast with Earth Balance and cantaloupe, I had home-made candied walnuts and a few dried pineapple rings. Not exactly a normal breakfast but it got the job done. So at noon I headed out to YogaWorks and did my thing. And by the time I got home I wasn’t starving, but I was definitely hungry. Roasted butternut squash, quinoa and a Sunshine veggie burger. Typical Elise plate – quick and covering all the main… Read more >

This weekend Kyle and I flew/drove to Lake Almanor for a couples getaway. Our friends have a baby on the way, so we were celebrating that – but instead of a girly shower with cheesy games we relaxed, drank and enjoyed our peaceful vacation with friends. The hosts own an amazing cabin that I couldn’t even being to describe. Not only does it have tons of bedrooms, a TV den and game room, a huge living room with an equally huge outside deck, a bocce ball court, horseshoe and corn hole set ups, and… Read more >
