Do you know how much I love waffles?  I loooooove waffles.  I should really make them way more often.  I think I have a mental block about the (perceived) hassle, when in reality, the cooking process is way less labor intensive than pancakes (you just pour on the batter and forget about them – no flipping required and you get multiple per pour as opposed to pancakes which you have to make individually).  Plus, the clean up really isn’t that bad. My waffle affair started when I was young.  My dad would make them every… Read more >

I repeat, no work this weekend

I was off this weekend (which is abnormal since I was also off last weekend and I usually have an every other schedule).  So exciting!!   Saturday morning.  Frothy mocha flavored milk.  Home-made bread.  Toasted to oblivion.  Buttered up the yin yang.  Fried egg on the side. Farmer’s market. Restoration Hardware baby & child grand opening.  They have a dresser named after me (too bad these are all too expensive).  Need to hit up some garage sales asap. College football. Lunch.  Breakfast grain mix.  Seitan.  Carrots.  Nutritional yeast. Snack.  Sabra spinach & artichoke hummus.  Carrots…. Read more >

Vegan mushroom stroganoff

  I thought this dish was FAN-FREAKIN-TASTIC.  I wanted to hoard it all and not share even a bite with Kyle.  But of course I didn’t do that.  Disclaimer: I have no idea what stroganoff is, so there’s a chance I altered the recipe so much that it’s unrecognizable as a stroganoff.  The addition of the mustard and nooch makes it taste very similar to a creamy dijon chicken recipe my mom used to make, though.  Which I’d forgotten about until I made this.  Mmmm…   Mushroom Stroganoff [vegan, gluten free] Ingredients: 2 tbsp earth… Read more >

Weeks 13-26

In all honesty, the majority of the second trimester was awesome.  My energy was much better, I had an appetite for quality food (like my old self!), and I got in a decent amount of regular exercise.  But it definitely had it’s annoying parts, too.  I almost feel like weeks 13 through 26 of pregnancy should be further divided into three parts – the beginning, the middle, and the end – because they were so different.  For me, at least. The beginning. Reaching week 13 of pregnancy was a big deal (even though it really… Read more >

The week’s recap

Since I previously posted this week’s prep and my game plan, I figured I might go into the specifics for a few of the meals that I mentioned.  And show how the rest of the week turned out in terms of the schedule. Monday As planned, I made Emily’s miso sweet potatoes (which we had with vegan chili) for dinner.  As part of the pre-week prep, I had roasted 4 huge sweet potatoes, which was more than enough for the two of us.  Needless to say, we had a ton of leftovers for the rest… Read more >
