Mickey mornings

Is there anything better than a Mickey pancake on a Monday morning?   If so, I’d really like to hear it! Pancakes were a Sunday thing for my family.  At least they were whenever we didn’t have a soccer tournament that required us to be in Lemoore or Visalia or Clovis (you get the idea…I traveled a lot for soccer).  Anyway.  My point is, brunch after church was a treat.  We would either go to a local cafe or go home and make pancakes.  And we always requested Mickey Mouse pancakes.  While at Disneyland this… Read more >

His & hers pizza

Most Whole Foods stores sell pizza dough that’s ready-to-go.  They usually have both wheat and white available.  Yesterday Kyle and I were in the mood for his and hers pizzas, so we stopped by the store on the way home from a neighborhood stroll.  The dough was nowhere to be found!  The employees at the sandwich station were kind enough to go to the back to get me some dough, but the only kind available was white.  I was bummed, but we still got it (how could I refuse it after they were kind enough… Read more >

Isn’t it ironic?

I’ve been feeling like crap since returning from Nor Cal, which I’m guessing is my body trying to tell me any number of things… 1. Please let me rest now that you’ve finished this triathlon training business. 2. Please stop feeding me crap (see below). 3. I’m sick, it happens. I’m sure there’s a bit of truth to all three of these statements, but the third one is definitely the main factor.  It’s true.  I’m sick.  Wah wah.  I hate being ill because I eat crap, ditch all forms of exercise, and feel no remorse… Read more >

Puffed crispy treats

I associate rice crispy treats with swim meets.  I remember the desserts at the snack bar were mostly home-made and the rice crispy squares were always the most appealing to me.  They were gigantic (as compared to the cookies or brownies) and still only cost 50 cents.  Such a deal! After we were done with all our events we were allowed a treat and (provided there wasn’t a snow cone machine at the meet), I usually chose a rice krispy bar.  Donuts made me feel like crap (ah, the early signs of IBS), but rice… Read more >

Ugly but delicious

This is probably one of the most hideous recipes I’ve ever produced.  It has pretty ingredients, but when they all come together…well, I’ll admit, it doesn’t exactly scream gourmet.  It does, however, have that comfort food look.    All you need is a slow cooker, a head of broccoli, some cheese, and almond milk.   I figured the best way to salvage a nearly dead bunch of broccoli was to cook the sh!t out of it so I threw it in the slower cooker with 5 oz. of vegan cheddar cheese, 1 cup of almond… Read more >
