Double party weekend

Every once in a while there are certain weekends which seem to have everything happening.  All on the same day.  You know those weekends, right?  Where you have plans to do one thing and then you find out there’s four weddings, a baby shower, a football game, a marathon, the Art & Wine Festival, and all the other things going on…this past weekend was one of those.  So is October 12th.  Why is everything happening on Oct 12th? Anyway, I switched my Saturday shift to allow me to attend two birthday parties.  The first was… Read more >

Accountability day by day

I’ve been aggressively snacking between meals and all the nibbles are going undocumented.  This bothers me because I want to have a better handle on my eats.  I get frustrated because I don’t always have time to eat well so  (excuses excuses) I just grab the easiest and fastest thing and shove it down my gullet between diaper changes, laundry, and all that jazz (the joys of motherhood I guess).  But I want to be accountable for what I’m putting in my body.  I used to take photos of everything I ate and that not… Read more >

The every-day eats

I am bad about taking pics of my daily eats (like I used to) but I get requests for them more than the “real” recipes…so here are  bunch of the quickie things I throw together on the regular.  From last week… Millet with sautéed spinach, baked tofu & avocado I made the millet in the rice cooker, sautéed the spinach with sesame oil and tamari, and used Wildwood tofu. I made extras.   I also re-made this salmon pasta, but in a HUUUUGE vat.   Lots of veggies to use up?  Throw them in!  I… Read more >

Cornbread salads

I made this cornbread for one purpose.  Salad croutons. All the cornbread panzanellas have been floating around in my mind lately.    So I had to do one too.   So I did.  And it was good.  And so I had the same thing for my next meal.  And the next.  And the next.  And the cornbread was gone in 48 hours and 4 meals.  The end.     This recipe is not meant to be eaten as cornbread.  It’s purely a salad accompaniment.   Crispy Cornbread (for salad croutons) [vegan, gluten free, dairy free] Ingredients:… Read more >

Mex for all

  You’d think after a week of breakfast burritos Kyle wouldn’t be stoked for Mexican night, but you’d be wrong.  [The above is a burrito I made for him with Boca veggie chik’n burgers, salsa, & cheddar]   For both of us, I made this huge thing of brown rice, pinto beans, and salsa because it allows for flexible meal creation. brown rice –> 2 cups in the rice maker pinto beans –> 1 cup in the rice maker salsa –> 1/2 cup of Sabra’s mango peach salsa (!!!) Super easy.   For vegan options:… Read more >
