Garbanzo Goop

The reason this post was (is) delayed is because my “g” recipe sucked.  Alphebruary is getting hard!  Turns out there are some letters without very many food options.  I had heard you could make hummus out of garbanzo flour, and frankly I had my doubts going into it (should probably have tuned into that intuition).  But then I thought, hummus really is just garbanzo beans…and the flour is just a different form of the stuff… Bubble, bubble, toil and trouble.   I started this little garbanzo flour journey by following the recipe on the Bob’s Red… Read more >

A day late

…and a dollar letter short. I’ll be back with the alphebruary eats later (g and h happened but my energy needs to be higher to share the deets). Work eats, however, don’t call for much brain power.  I’m not saying they were mindlessly dull…but I kinda am ;)  Kidding!  [But they were VERY similar] I’ve been on a fruity tooty kick lately.  Starting the day with water, Jillian, coffee, coffee, and fruit, fruit, fruit.  Because it’s sunny and I’m downing fresh strawberries and blueberries constantly, I feel like next week should be the 4th of… Read more >

Sights unseen

This weekend was so much fun.  I had Friday through Sunday off and Kyle was actually caught up with all his MBA shiz, so we got to spend a lot of time relaxing (together). I’ve shown you the d & e meals, but Superbowl Sunday was definitely the highlight.  PACKERS what whaaaat!    Friday morning started with an early breakfast for me.  I was up and at ‘em with the sun garbage trucks (which was fine since I had fallen asleep at 7:30 the night before).  I made myself a warm bowl of oats and buckwheat. … Read more >

Baked Eggplant Sticks

Well the post title says it all, doesn’t it?  The letter of the day was “e” and so I chose to hack up an eggplant.  I was trying to make fries, but they came out a bit on the mushy side, so I feel like a phony passing them off as such.  Frites they were not.  All I did was chop up the eggplant into matchstick shapes (aka “fries”). Then I did a little shake ‘n bake with Lawry’s seasoning.  I believe this photo accurately sums up my ghetto fabulous method. Then I lined them… Read more >

A “soul sistas” Superbowl

A little background:  Kyle’s parents are fabulously open-minded when it comes to food.  My veganism has never been an obstacle when dining with them, and has in fact been embraced with open arms.  It’s always a blast eating with them.  Whether we are feasting out or cooking in, they go above and beyond to make sure there are delicious vegan options available at all times.  Much to my delight, they kicked off 2011 with the Daniel Fast, a plant-based eating plan (combined with the spiritual component of prayer).  After 21 days, the results from this… Read more >
