M is for microwave, what is your favorite microwave meal/snack? Sweet potatoes are one thing that I’ve always preferred to microwave over cooking in the oven.  It’s faster and yields a very similar (if not better) steamed tater.  [The exception to this is if you are making fries out of them] There’s also the matter of oats.  Although I prefer the stove top version (and always make them on the stove when I’m home), I do microwave oats when I bring them for work. It’s so simple, it’s hard to knock it.  N is for… Read more >

Let’s break it down now

Oh night shift, how you disrupt my sleep cycle. How’s that for a cluttered night stand?!  The ear plugs are the latest addition to help with my daytime snoozing sitch.  Ugh.  Again, I slept minimally after noche dos of nursing.  Side note: I’m always hesitant to use that word when talking about night shift because I get weird google search terms…sorry to all the moms nursing their newborns all night long searching the internet for nursing related advice…only to click on my blog and not find anything helpful.    My packed food was perfection.  I’m… Read more >

Caprese Caesar Pasta Salad

There are a few things I rarely crave, pasta being one of them and cheese being the other. As you can guess, I’m not a very big fan of Italian food.  But chilled pasta salads are quintessential summer fare, and I’m all about welcoming June with open arms…and a vegan summer salad that is sure to please the masses. This dish was born out of my random desire to veganize a Caprese salad, which then got tweaked along the way, and morphed into a pasta dish with a Caesar salad twist.  My mind works in… Read more >

Tasting Box

One of the perks of being a food blogger is you get to try new things that you may not ordinarily try.  For free.  While I was in Europe, I received a Tasting Box by Foodzie…   It had all kinds of goodies including: Dried Pineapple from Peeled Snacks – Brooklyn, NY Traditional Alfajores from Sabores del Sur – San Francisco, CA Lemon Poppyseed & Almond Biscotti from Biscotti Bari – Petaluma, CA Pure Southern Iced Tea from Pluff Iced Tea – Bluffton, SC Assorted Fresh Herb Sea Salts from Woody’s Gourmet – Campbell, CA… Read more >

Fromage & fourchette (or how to make the French hate you)

After our picnic by the Eiffel Tower, we geared up for a post-lunch workout.  And by that I mean a session on France’s most scenic stairmaster.  The line to walk is way shorter than the line to go up by lift, plus, the stairs weren’t all that bad!  We learned interesting facts at each level, a new addition to the climb, which Laura and I appreciated since I accidentally grabbed the informational brochure in Greek/Italian. Seriously, I couldn’t have picked a worse one to try and decipher.  I told Laura it was practice for the… Read more >
