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 >

Westside Native

On Sunday I broke my coffee-free streak. USVAB almond milk, Wholesome Sweetener organic vanilla agave, cinnamon. Artisana makes the best nutbutter, but it also happens to be the most $$$.  Once this coconut butter is gone (which will be very soon), I will be making my own only.  No room in this hippie’s budget for jars of something I can make on my own for a fraction of the price.  No matter how delicious and convenient it is to purchase. After digesting, I went for a short run, made shorter due to the weather.  It… Read more >

Who gained 5 pounds

Drum roll please… Comment #3 – Greta August 27, 2011 at 3:41 am Hmmm. Since I eat oats for breakfast almost every day, it probably wouldn’t take me that long. A couple of months, perhaps? Maybe three? And then I’m not even counting baking with them… Well, maybe two, then. Congrats Greta! You just gained five pounds.  In a good way.    I hope there’s lots of granola and oatmeal making in your future!  Email me your address so I can get your oats on their way!

TGI…

I worked on Saturday, so my Friday wasn’t really a TGIF kind of day.  To summarize the AM: cereal, bike ride, window shopping.  I had two Turlock multi-grain pitas with hummus for lunch and a veggie burger a la mode.   Hummus gone.  🙁   In terms of fizz KeVita < Synergy, in terms of calories it’s the reverse.  Flavor-wise I go back and forth.  Depends on what I’m in the mood for. Truthfully, all I wanted for dinner was quinoa drenched in Bragg’s liquid aminos, but I decided to up the nutritional profile of… Read more >
