Yoga Wednesday

As per my previous few weeks, my Wednesday was more snack-y than meal-y in the AM.   In addition to toast with Earth Balance and cantaloupe, I had home-made candied walnuts and a few dried pineapple rings.  Not exactly a normal breakfast but it got the job done.  So at noon I headed out to YogaWorks and did my thing.  And by the time I got home I wasn’t starving, but I was definitely hungry.   Roasted butternut squash, quinoa and a Sunshine veggie burger.  Typical Elise plate – quick and covering all the main… Read more >

Vegetarian snack ideas

Now that Kyle’s bringing his lunch to work – and he’s vegetarian – I’ve been trying to get creative with snack ideas. While I’m content eating the same things day after day, he’s not. Guess what he’s finally sick of?  Clif bars.  I never ever thought the day would come (check out the photo below for a reminder of his love affair).

Another week, another lasagna

Pasta with tofu “ricotta” is really climbing the charts in favorite dinners.  I’m making some form of this dish every other week, at least.  Rather than manicotti, which we’ve had twice this month already, I made lasagna.   Same concept as this recipe – with hummus and tofu “cheese” and spinach layered between pasta and marinara sauce.   I made a double batch of the tofu & hummus “cheese” using two whole packages of extra-firm tofu and nearly one cup of hummus.    And I used 365 brand no-bake whole wheat lasagna noodles.   I… Read more >
