In my family we call this “the special plate”. You get it on your birthday or when you do something that deserves kudos (like getting a new job or graduating or something like that). But enough about the serving ware, let’s talk about this cake. It’s sugar free, for one. And vegan. It’s pretty good also. It does taste semi “healthy” but I really liked it. Kyle did too. We both agreed it was super rich and filling, so you get lots of bang for your buck. Mini Vegan Chocolate Birthday Cake [vegan,… Read more >

For the past 6 days Kyle and I have been in the East Bay. It’s incredible having P in my hometown – and very cool/weird/surreal taking him to all the places I grew up around. He’s also gotten to meet some of my bestest friends. But I’ll back up to the trip to get here…because we were slightly apprehensive knowing we had a 6+ hour drive with a baby. We’ve conquered hour long walks no problem. Short outings are a breeze. But the I-5 is a whole other ball game – there are 35… Read more >

OH. EM. GEEEEEEE. Ok, I know it’s kinda weird to get SO excited over a casserole, but this was crazy good. And simple! My mom went grocery shopping for us while we were in the hospital and she bought us tofurky’s chorizo crumbles, which I’d never tried before. I’m skeptical of faux meat products. I have my faves (like Field Roast), and I have my avoids (like smart pups), so this one remained to be determined… It’s soy based (non GMO) using soy flour and canola oil, with not much else aside from seasonings. Not… Read more >

This is like candy disguised as a breakfast cereal. I’m hesitant to call it my best ever granola, because my quinoa granola is kinda my signature recipe, but this one is really amazing. It only lasted a couple of days…probably because it’s been sitting on the counter so I just pick at it all day long. CAN’T. STOP. Chewy Sweet Blueberry Granola [vegan, gluten free, FODMAPs friendly] Ingredients: 1/2 cup whole rolled oats 1/2 cup (gluten free) creamy buckwheat cereal (I used Bob’s Red Mill brand) 1/4 cup ground flax seeds (I used Linwoods nuts… Read more >

Sometimes I get bummed out when I realize over the course of the day I’ve basically eaten nothing but toast with Earth Balance, bananas with nut butter, and crackers with hummus. In large quantities. These foods are delicious and healthy, yes. But inspired? Not so much. Which is why this simple but different lunch made me so very happy. I got rainbow chard at the farmer’s market and decided I had to use it in more ways than just a salad (or sandwich ingredient). I’ve done both of those things with it already, but… Read more >
