Niece #3

I know I said I was heading out of town this weekend (I am), but I had to pop in to tell you two very awesome things.   I have a new niece!  Scarlett Alice was born in the wee early hours Friday morning.  Isn’t she precious.  :)  I love her to pieces already. The second is considerably less thrilling to everyone else, but I was pleased nonetheless.    This is my happy face after getting a call saying the unit was overstaffed for the night and I could have a holiday.  Wee!!  I was… Read more >

Day to night

I had an awkward transition mid-week from a normal routine to a night shift routine.  The first day is always awkward.  I woke up at 7:30 and tried to go back to sleep but wasn’t successful in the least.  At 8 I gave up and showered. And breakfasted.  With toast and eggs x2.  And iced tea with almond milk.  It seems to be my summer breakfast of choice. Before yoga I had a banana.  And then I got zen.  Ommmmm. As per usual, I went to the WF across the street afterwards. Juice!  I can’t… Read more >

Sabra-cotti

This is a take on my previous manicotti recipe.  Only better.  Kyle called it the best I’ve ever made.  I’d love to take all the credit, but I have a feeling the Sabra tuscan herb garden hummus played a large role too. To make the manicotti filling, I used the entire block of organic extra firm tofu, a heaping 1/2 cup of Sabra hummus, and 1/3 cup frozen spinach.   I crumbled and mixed it all together with a fork (hello arm workout) until it resembled a ricotta cheese texture. Unlike last time, I opted… Read more >

A pasta-ful day

Breakfast: toast with almond butter, banana, iced tea with almond milk After breakfast Lynn came over to the westside and we went on a walk.    Even though I had an apple before we set out, by the time we got home I was starving.  I had some leftover mac ‘n cheese, which was a little set in it’s way, until I added some plain almond milk. That  helped transform it into the ooey gooey cheesy macaroni that vegans dream of. In truth, it reminded me a LOT of The Veggie Grill’s mac ‘n cheese,… Read more >

Kale Off

Last week I had a kale chip show-down.  I really like kale chips, but I’m kinda picky about them.  They are expensive to buy, but a pain to make (and never as good in my opinion). Brad’s RAW naked kale chips Pro: good flavor Con: poor texture (they were semi soggy and didn’t crunch like chips aught to)   Will I buy again?  No. SnackLets spicy chili-lata kale chips Pro: holy spice! Con: holy spice! (these packed a serious kick that I couldn’t handle for much more than a few bites at once) Will I… Read more >
