Meals I’m excited about

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 >

Today

Is Kyle’s birthday.  We are celebrating for reals later on this week with a date night (!!).  My mom is going to babysit.  It’s exciting.  Today, though, we have been hanging out enjoying the fact that we are all three together.  We’ve already gone on a nice walk and the rest of the day includes season 2 of Downton Abbey and take-out from Veggie Grill (birthday coupons = free entree, heyooo).    Oh and I made cake!  And frosting!  Both are vegan and sugar free.  I’ll post about it later.  Last night I made a… Read more >

Vegan Enchiladas

  This is a pseudo recipe because I didn’t measure things and you don’t need to either.

Don’t Pinch Me

Happy St. Patrick’s Day! No pinching allowed here 🙂 In honor of my little man…and our Irish roots…I’ll share a bunch of recent [green] eats.  As you’ll soon see, I have been in a major kale rut.  And salad rut.  Neither are bad things. 😛 Salad heaven #1: chard, romaine, tomatoes, carrots, avocado, & Sabra’s seasonal rosemary and olive oil hummus Expo West sample: Brad’s kale chips Vegetarian “chorizo” and kale rice casserole (recipe coming for this one because oh my gaaaaahhhh) Salad heaven #2: kale, romaine, tomatoes, carrots, avocado and 365 sesame goddess dressing… Read more >

Dough & daiya

  I took my rings off while kneading this dough and forgot to put them back on for a few hours.  It’s so rare that I remove my wedding rings, because for some reason I get nervous when I do it.  I don’t know why.  But while they were off I went for a walk with Kyle and P.  When I got home and saw my rings on the kitchen counter I wondered how many people saw our family of three and my ring-less fingers.  The horror (sarcasm)!  Maybe nobody noticed.  I’m probably a freak… Read more >
