Back to school special

Hey September!  Welcome to the show… Even though I’m not a student, I know what this month means for all you summer vacationers (the end of sleeping in ‘til noon and wearing swim suits all day long).  Goodbye beach reads, hello homework. Kyle is just wrapping up his summer internship, so in a couple of weeks it will be back to the MBA grind party.  Which means…it’s lunchbox time again! BYOB (bring your own box) is how we roll in this hippie household.  Pros: price (so much cheaper than buying meals on campus or at… Read more >

Leafy linkage

I have been reading some interesting articles lately related to veganism, health, exercise, and the likes, and since I feel like you, my dear readers, have literary interests in common with my own, I should share them… A heart attack proof diet – a book showing the link between a plant based diet and cardiac health, who’da thunk it!  (it’s also related to Bill Clinton’s vegan diet) A sandwich at Denny’s with 99 grams of fat and 1700 calories – can you say coronary bypass? Tea is the new coffee – I’m not hating on… Read more >

Seven minute strata

I made this on a whim because I had veggies on their last legs and part of a package of tofu.  Traditionally, you make strata with eggs and cheese and you bake it in the oven (here’s my mom’s recipe for a goat cheese, mushroom and asparagus strata).  But here’s a vegan version that’s fast and microwaveable. Vegan Veggie Strata Ingredients: leftover sautéed zucchini and squash 3-4 de-stemmed leaves of kale 1/2 red bell pepper 1 cup broccoli florets 2 slices of bread 10 oz (~3/4 package) silken tofu 1 cup almond milk 1 tbsp… Read more >

Where it all began

On the anniversary of our first year of marriage, Kyle and I took a stroll down memory lane… To our alma mater, where it all began.  I’ve shared the abbreviated story of how Kyle and I met and started dating on the blog before, but for my newer readers, it was our on-campus job that brought us together.  From there it was an unnecessarily complicated course…due to my own disbelief that he was in fact as wonderful as he seemed [turns out, he was is].  Dear 20-something ladies, Keep your heads up and hearts open,… Read more >
