Food & Kicking!

Recipes I owe you include the following:   Curried lentils and tofu.   Kale chips.   Vegetable pasta [with parmesan on Kyle’s portion].   Mexican nacho salad bowl.   Zucchini bread. And many more. I’ve gotta get my blogging butt into gear.  But I do have a few random things to share. First of all, the winner of the Sahale Crunchers is #34 Caralyn.  Congrats!  Email me with your mailing address asap.  My home-made soy-nut butter method was mentioned in this post, which is an awesome resource for anyone who packs their food for the… Read more >

A September day

This is an attempt at a “what I ate” full day of food.  I think I got everything. Cantaloupe.  With this, I get credit for vitamin C, vitamin E, riboflavin, folic acid, & B vitamins…it satisfies both a fruit and leafy green requirement as per What To Expect.  Efficiency in my nutrition – I like it!   For breakfast we were out of iced tea AND eggs.  Basically a mini disaster.  I made decaf tea in as little water as possible and cooled it down to room temp with a ton of almond milk.  It… Read more >

Juice pulp

How I’ve been using up juice pulp is with simple and simpler recipes.   Like this quick savory breakfast fry. Quinoa & smoky tempeh strips with leftover carrot pulp (or whatever pulp you have on hand…be it kale, cucumber, etc.). Added to a pan with non-stick spray or olive oil and heated until it gets crispy.   Served with a side of vitamins.  Yum. There’s also quinoa quiche, which is highly adaptable depending on what veggies you have on hand. If you recall, we demolished this between the two of us in one night. You… Read more >

A bun rut

I have a million pics of meals with Udi’s GF buns.  I’m not kidding.  They are wonderful.  And I got hooked when they were on sale, but now they are back to the (insane) $4.99/4 buns.  Grrr.  It’s a love affair mostly exclusive to breakfast but it does make it’s way to later meals too. Breakfast: toasted bun with Earth Balance, fried egg, and farmer’s market strawberries (SO GOOD!) Lunch: almond butter and banana sandwich on a bun   The rest of the banana was eaten plain with extra spoonfuls of almond butter.  I was… Read more >

A wedding and a bump

Where oh where to begin.  Last weekend was so full. On Thursday we drove home via the glorious I-5.  If I had to guess how much of my life I’ve spent on that drive… So Thursday morning I got up early because I had a few things I wanted to get done before the commute home.  First, breakfast. Another vegan tofu “scramble” with a sliced peach on the side (as if you couldn’t figure out what that fruit was). And my folate, DHA and iced tea.  Naturally. After breakfast, I ran some errands, and then… Read more >
