veggie "cheese"

Marching on…

I would just like to say how awesome it is entering the subway at 5:45 am in darkness and reemerging to a glorious sunrise.  Light in the morning!  Can I get a hell yeah? Anyways, here are my eats, pre-packed and ready for the trek to the hospital… Apples, salad, carrots, hummus, and bars (PB&J Dipped MoJo bar, Super Protein Odwalla bar, and the latest PranaBar flavor to rock my world).  In zee salad: spinach, steamed brocc, zucch, sesame/seaweed salad, and dried cranz. My feelings about the Cranberry Goji Supercharger PranaBar cannot be masked.  Effing… Read more >

Crack is wack!

Is it really March already?  I’m so glad that NuNaturals’ vanilla stevia is back in my life.  Coffee is definitely my drug of choice, but this stuff is incredibly addicting.  It’s like super-crack.  Nothing like adding crack to another stimulant.  So, I was seriously buzzzzzzed as I headed to the gym.  Yes, oddly enough, I went to the gym today, and in the AM no less!  I haven’t been feeling the gym much lately, but I was really pumped today and decided to get in some cardio while the iron was hot. How cool are… Read more >

Baby steps

My appetite was a monster the other day.  Not a little monster either, a BIG a$$ monster.  I didn’t have work, so I let myself sleep in a bit, but once my alarm went off at 8, my stomach was growling like an overly-protective Rottweiler.  That’s not typical for me.  My stomach usually needs a few minutes (or an hour) to warm up to the idea of calories.  If you know me, you know I’m not a morning person, but my stomach is even less so.  Ordinarily I ease it in with coffee…today, though, I… Read more >

On my laurels

This weekend I relaxed more than I have in a loooooong time.  I didn’t exercise.  I hardly cooked.  To be honest, I pretty much spent the weekend watching the Australian Open, football, and hanging out with Kyle (I did a fair amount of eating as well).  If that’s not the picturesque weekend, well, shoot me.  I have a TON of photos, but they aren’t very glamorous and don’t require much in the way of explanations…so…without further ado… JAVA the hut Bluffin’ with my muffin   How to make quinoa ghetto Afternoon delight(s) YouShake customized “Blended… Read more >

Vegan lasagna

For some reason, I’m not a huge fan of Italian food.  Not sure why.  In my opinion, there’s just something a bit boring about pasta that prevents me from craving it very often.  Growing up I always groaned when my mom made spaghetti (nevermind that it was one of my sister’s favorites).  Nowadays, not much has changed with my taste buds.  Kyle, on the other hand, adores pasta, especially lasagna.  So once a month or so, I make a huge batch of it and freeze individual portions for him.  I’ve shown them on the blog… Read more >
