Presents all around

I had a really great weekend – thanks for all your sweet birthday wishes. Presents! Kyle got me YogaWorks classes – something I’ve been “meaning to try” for almost half a decade now…haha.  My sister was obviously inspired by our dinner at RFD because she got me the official cookbook.  I’m so excited to crack into this baby!  So many delicious recipes.  Thanks sister 🙂 Like any other day, I started with coffee… A huge frothy mug. Breakfast was atypically savory.  In this bowl, leftover roasted butternut squash, leftover chickpea salad, and a chopped apple. … Read more >

Flashback Friday: Hawaiian honeymoon

Who says reminiscing has to be reserved for Fridays, right?  Flashback Saturday anyone?  Today is my birthday, so try and let it slide…  While I huff and puff my heavily candled (28!!) vegan birthday cake, I hope you’ll enjoy reading about our tropical luna de miel. Kyle and I got married on Saturday, August 28th. On Monday the 30th we headed off to Kauai for the most relaxing week of vacation ever.  Our trip started at 4 am (Pacific time), and we didn’t arrive in Hawaii until 5 pm (Island time).  In case you were wondering… Read more >

Liquid love for my achy heart

Still ailing…aching from head to toe.  Brain, body, pretty much everything.  And I’m really getting sick of peanut butter and jelly sandwiches.  Blah.  Today I had a sneaky chef moment, though.  As my girl Holly says, “sharing is caring” so here you go:  When you’ve hit the wall with carbs and nutbutter (the horror!), but you still have zero desire to eat greens, here’s a delicious way to cheat them into your bod.  PB & Greens Smoothie 3/4 cup almond milk 1 frozen banana 2 shafts of kale, leaves only 3 tbsp smooth peanut butter… Read more >

Build me up butternut

These past few days I’ve been sick.  You may have noticed since my posts haven’t been food journal style, but rather recipes, restaurant & product reviews.  No worries, I’ve been downing Kombucha bottle by bottle, and I’m finally starting to feel ok-ish.  This is all very timely, given my first day of work was yesterday.  [Sigh]  Figures.  But anyways, as you can imagine, liquids have been a mainstay in my diet over the last 24 hours.  Here’s one of the lovely liquid concoctions I “whipped up” between catnaps.  As an aside, I’m always reluctant to… Read more >

Very Berry Salad

I didn’t come up with this salad name.  I’m pretty sure that’s the handwriting of my sister circa 1992.  Here’s a translation: Dressing 1/3 cup EVOO 1/3 cup vinegar (regular – as in not balsamic) 1/2 cup sugar 2 T sesame seeds 1 T white onion, finely chopped 1/4 tsp Worcestershire sauce 1/4 tsp paprika Salad 1-2 pints strawberries a whole lotta spinach 3 T almonds, slivered optional: crumbled goat cheese, avocado   I retook the (below) photo three times because it looked so weird.  Despite the odd coloring, there really aren’t any special effects… Read more >
