Mostly brownies

I haven’t had very many interesting things to share.  The weather went from shorts and tank-top temperatures to bundle in layers degrees.  Don’t you gauge the season by outfits, too? I still fit a 4 mile run in yesterday between stuffing my face with brownies. One, two, buckle my shoe unbuckle my belt… Okay, okay, I didn’t JUST have brownies (as if you’d judge me either way). I had a huge bowl of nearly-spilling-over-the-edge oatmeal. 1 cup whole rolled oats 1 apple, chopped 1/2 cup frozen blueberries dash of cinnamon drip of NuNaturals’ vanilla stevia… Read more >

Kale is the new spinach

Anyone see the latest Modern Family?  Well, whether you did or didn’t, you’ll be happy to know that veg friendly foods are getting major shout-outs on sitcom TV as of late.  In addition to the aforementioned episode highlighting kale as the new “it” green leafy veggie, a few weeks ago seitan was featured on Parenthood.  Hooray for making vegan cuisine more mainstream!! One giant leap for vegankind… On that note, I finally got around to making a dish I’d been toying with brainstorming for a few months (yes, months). Vegan Creamed Kale Ingredients: kale, 4-6… Read more >

An Ode to Breaking the Fast

Rumor has it, breakfast is the most important meal of the day. And when you think about it, if such decadent oats (like the almond, cashew & apple packed number above) are my morning baseline, then things are looking pretty good. This bowl makes me want to sing “on top of old smokeyyyy” and I have no idea why.  Anyone else remember that song?  Hmmm…may need to wikipedia it. Edited to add: On Top Of Old Smoky is about some mountain that may or may not be in the Ozarks or the central Appalachians…but the… Read more >

Chocolate deception

I can’t recall the last time I made brownies.  But then, Katie got me thinking about them…and I couldn’t get them out of my mind. With brownies on the brain, I nervously set to work in the kitchen. I baked them with my fingers AND toes crossed…and then Kyle and I had a taste test.  Together. Crazy dense and reallllly gooey.  And super sneaky. Obviously I was aware of the ingredients, but Kyle had no idea that the main ingredient was…     Beans! I have heard of black bean brownies before (chances are you… Read more >

His hummus is mac ‘n cheese

Kyle typically makes dinner for himself on school nights because our schedules rarely overlap at dinner time.  Sad, but true.  Good thing the boy can cook.  But when we are both around on weekends, I enjoy being a good wifey (and making my husband a good meal).  That said, sometimes we are super busy and making a home cooked meal is a low priority.  It’s times like these that I turn to the pantry.  However, just because I choose to take a more simple route, doesn’t mean it has to be a crappy meal.  Annie’s… Read more >
