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. Green Enchiladas [vegan] 6 tortillas (I used 365 whole wheat tortillas) green enchilada sauce (I used one of the frontera brand packets which was 8 oz of sauce) Filling: brown rice (~1.5 cups) corn (~1/4 cup) TVP (~1/4 cup, rehydrated with the same amount of liquid, either veg broth or water)* salsa (~1/4 cup) *You could swap black/pinto/refried beans for TVP.  Combine filling ingredients.  Stuff each tortilla, roll it up, and place it in a greased baking pan. … 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 >

A weekend of firsts

This past weekend was the first time in a couple of years that I skipped Expo West.  I had a ticket and everything, but I just didn’t see the point in trying to make it work.  I guess this is evidence that my priorities have shifted.  I like free samples and keeping on pulse with the latest natural food trends, but I like family bonding time more.  Lucky for me, my in-laws were there to scout out the scene in my absence.  They reported back and then some…with tons of samples for me to review. … Read more >
