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 >

Cheesy Scones & BBQ tempeh

I have a little pink notebook with a list of recipes I want to make.  These scones were a recent addition.  It’s silly considering how many online bookmarks and starred recipes I have on the comp, but when it comes right down to it, I’m a pen and paper person.  I love food magazines and cookbooks more than I like the internet.  Boom.  Deal with that.   Most of the recipes are from smitten kitchen and 101 cookbooks – I think Deb and Heidi are awesome.  So yeah, Deb’s jalapeno cheddar scones had me all… Read more >
