RFD finally gets it right

I want to love Real Food Daily.  I really do.  But there’s something about it that annoys me (and perpetually disappoints me).  Maybe it’s how overpriced it is.  Or how every meal needs something extra added to it (for an additional $3 fee).  Or how the ambiance is often holier-than-thou.  Grrr. But it’s like Vegas.  I have amnesia and after a few months hiatus I go crawling back…only to remember why I vowed I’d never return.  Well.  I’m happy to say, RFD finally got it right.   With Mexi-fare.  My date was my FPIC, Ethel….

The mouse will play

I’ve made pancakes more than oats this week.  And if you don’t understand how huge that is, you don’t know me very well. Pancakes are just awesome. On the left: almond butter and bananas On the right: peanut butter/maple syrup and bananas Kyle’s been out of town, so I have been sleeping in, making big batches of pancakes and eating them while watching TV on my computer.  So lazy. Aforementioned “big batches” last me until well after noon.  So I figure if I’ve had a few courses of pancakes, it counts as breakfast AND lunch,… Read more >

Yumvelope

Last week I got a package in the mail…   From YUMVELOPE!  Yummy stuff in an envelope.  Get it?  😛 I’ve seen these monthly subscription services popping up all over the place and I think the concept is pretty cool.  Depending on where you live it could be a huge deal to have access to health food products that ordinarily you’d never find in your local grocery store.   These Snackle Mouth granola nut clusters were my favorite item in the bunch. Side note: how much do you love the box design?  So creepy!  Ha!… Read more >

$2 Meal

Top two complaints about being veg are (a) the price tag and (b) the time.*   This meal cost two dollars.    And that expense includes both bowls plus [un-pictured] second helpings.   Balanced, whole foods based, with all the macronutrients represented. And it took 10 minutes to make.   All you need is corn meal + eggs + avocado [all organic!].  Simple enough right?   Jazz it up as you want afterwards, but this basic combo will do your appetite and your wallet just fine.     Green Eggs & Cornmeal Ingredients: 1 1/2 cup… Read more >

Ten Reviews

Here are some products I’ve tried lately. Some were bad, some were okay, some were good, and some were awesome. So I figured I’d share. I have no affiliation with any of these companies. These are simply my honest opinions. 1. Choc & Nut spread. This is a vegan version of Nutella. I first came upon this French company at Expo West and after one bite I was hooked. It tastes heavenly – chocolate & hazelnut in a creamy smooth buttery spread. I found it at my local Co-Op and it’s not cheap. $10 for… Read more >
