For the avocado lovers

I ate two avocados today.  For breakfast I had toast with avocado and a pinch of salt.  For lunch I had a salad with a lot of avocado.  For dinner I had a stir fry topped in avocado. I honestly couldn’t tell you which was my favorite meal.  I love avocado.  I don’t understand people who don’t like avocado.  It makes no sense to me.   It seems like I’m back in a salad phase because this was so good I can’t wait to have it again.  And again.  And again.    Spring greens.  Lightlife’s… Read more >

I’m giving away the BEST supplements

Recipe first, giveaway second.  Cool? Or you can skip ahead to the end if you want.  I won’t be offended. I was trying to make meatless meatballs, but they weren’t really cooperating, so instead we got sliders.  The recipe still needs some work though (in my opinion).  They taste good, so that’s not the issue.  And for anyone wanting to make sliders (or bigger veggie burgers?), these would probably be good enough.

And this past Friday Alene came over with some groceries for this feast…   We started out with appetizers.  Alene fell prey to the delightfulness of Whole Foods and impulse bought some chips, guacamole, and pico de gallo.   Obviously I didn’t partake in the vino. It was kinda drizzly weather outside but Kyle still manned the BBQ.   Tofurky kielbasa… Read more >

Souper yummy

A play on the word soup?  Such an Elise move.  I blame this on my dad (thanks for the pun gene).   Here are a few of the reasons soup is awesome: 1. It’s filling. 2. It’s cheap. 3. It’s easy to make. 4. It can be healthy and still taste really really good. 5. It’s perfect for cold winter months. Totally awesome list, huh.   Inspired by the soup from this book (see below), I made my own version. The concept was the same, I still used mushrooms, miso and butternut squash.  But I… Read more >
