Accidentally GFV

Alternative title for this post: the day I ate an entire avocado.   Oh look!  A non-egg breakfast!  We were out of eggs, so the night before I made a vegan alternative.  Just silken lite tofu, nutritional yeast, & Bragg’s liquid aminos. [Lots of nooch] Then in the morning all I had to do was add it to a hot pan (sprayed with non-stick) and wait for it to get warm and kinda crusty (I don’t know a better word to describe it).   In all honesty, I usually use extra firm tofu in scrambles,… Read more >

Eating the garden

Recently I’ve been making the fruits of my labor into delicious meals. I don’t know where this love for pesto suddenly came from, but it’s really nice to be able to pick your own food and prepare it in the same day.  Thriving basil and parsley plants for the win! De Boles GF penne for me, 365 whole wheat spaghetti for him.    Nuts, hemp seeds, basil, parsley, olive oil, plain almond milk, pasta water.   Blended and blended until I got the texture (and flavor) I wanted.   I’m really trying to minimize wheat… Read more >

Personal crumbles

Peaches!  Finally!   This is a portion of my haul home from the Brentwood Farmer’s Market.  Which is awesome by the way – definitely better than the Santa Monica Farmer’s Market (as much as I hate to admit it).  The selection is way beyond produce…they have tons of kinds of hummus…Kombucha…fresh breads…jams…BBQ…baked goods…everything!  Seriously stellar.  Kyle and I went this past Sunday (the one day of the Labor Day weekend I had off) and came home with figs, peaches, strawberries, and peanut butter chocolate chip cookies.  I’m totally getting off track here.  Back to the… Read more >

Keeping cool

I guess summer is over.  But this past August and September have been abnormally hot (for the typically mild Santa Monica).  In the absence of the beach breeze, here are some of my favorite ways to chill out…   Putting my feet up in the coolest place in our apartment.  The guest bedroom future nursery upstairs gets a great breeze when the window is open.  I sit in the rocking chair with my face to the screen and think of how I’ll be in the same chair months from now with my baby.  It’s weird… Read more >

Hello appetite

Day shift food, including oatmeal, lasagna (two servings), apple, carrots & hummus, and a cinnamon roll.  Details below. Pumpkin and raisin oats made with vanilla almond milk.  I’m officially good and ready for fall. Lasagna that’s bigger than my head.  I had half at lunch time and half an hour later. Snack options. I got home around the same time as Kyle and we each dug into the quinoa quiche I made earlier in the week (meal planning still going strong). I cut it into quarters because I figured it was pretty likely we would… Read more >
