Mushroom & kale rice bowl with peanut ginger sauce

  Here’s the deal with that Portobello & Kale Sauté with Peanut Ginger Rice… It was really good, but totally jacked up my GI tract.  Would I eat it again?  Ugh, I wish I could say no, but I know I will.  The leftovers are in the fridge just waiting for me to give in to my moment of weakness.  Sure I could offer them up to Kyle (he loved the meal as well and has been in a huge kale craving phase lately), but I’m kinda selfish when it comes to certain things (like… Read more >

The weekly menu

Monday Risotto Tuesday Quinoa quiche.  It’s a cheap and easy staple.  Not much else to say. I wish I could tell you this provided leftovers…but we are oinkers. Wednesday Curry stir fry with quinoa. This was the star of the show.  I’ve been working on actually going through our pantry and (gasp) using all the stuff I’ve been hoarding since the 2000s. I got this jar of Patak’s mild curry paste the same time (and place) I got these noodles.  Now that I just googled the company, I see they have a ton of pastes… Read more >

Salad lunches

Sorry if you already saw this post.  It went up earlier somehow.  I don’t understand computers (clearly). Anyway.  I’ve been going through a salad-for-lunch-phase. As far as phases go, I don’t think it gets much healthier.  Unlike certain food ruts of the past (Earth Balance on everything, dessert after each meal of the day, etc.). So here are a few of my latest creations.   Mexi-chop.  I tried to model this one after The Veggie Grill’s Baja Fiesta salad.  That salad has “chopped romaine, papaya, avocado, roasted corn salsa, cucumber, cilantro, tortilla strips, and grilled… Read more >

Breakfast for one

  This was my breakfast last Sunday.  Then again on Monday.  And then again on Wednesday.  [Tuesday I went back to the egg and toast routine] There’s no saying how long this will last…   Just one massive pancake.  The whole batter poured into the 8 inch pan. It’s so fun to eat when it goes on forever and covers the whole plate.  These photos are semi-deceiving.  These are large dinner plates…making this a pretty sizable flapjack.   Oat Peanut Pancake [FODMAPs friendly, gluten free, dairy free; serves 1] Ingredients: 5 tbsp oat flour (certified… Read more >

36 week check-in

I can buy this to be a diaper bag right? I’ve never owned anything lululemon and that’s for a very intentional reason. From what I understand, buying this brand is like getting a tattoo.  Once you get one thing, you want another, and then another, and pretty soon you can’t stop…and your bank account is wiped.  I’ve been in the store several times (I’ve tried on lots of yoga pants).  But I just haven’t been able to pull the trigger out of fear that what I said above is true.  But if I buy this… Read more >
