Wonderful wheat berries

Warning: I’ve fallen in love with soaking.  I may never cook again. Ok, that’s not true, but I don’t think it’s possible to find an easier grain to prep than wheat berries.  First of all, they are so freakin’ cheap.  How can you resist a meal that’s main component is under a dollar.  Not to mention how good for you they are, too! Unlike refined wheat (a process in which the germ and bran layers are removed), wheat berries maintain all three of their parts (the germ/seed, the bran, and the endosperm). Because they are… Read more >

Nut-less-ly nutty oats

I was craving a seasonal breakfast, but didn’t have any pumpkin on hand.  What I did have though, was a butternut squash.  You could cheat and use canned squash (they carry it at Whole Foods), but I decided to hack it with the real deal.  Squash prep can be as hard or as easy as you want it to be.  If you have a big a$$ knife, you’re good to go.  The simplest (read: quickest) way to go is to forego peeling the skin off, chop it into large chunks, microwave it (in a glass… Read more >

That’s how we roll…

Ethel is my food partner in crime (FPIC).  We could talk about food all day long.  We do talk about food all day long.  She, too, is lactose intolerant.  So we wallow in our dairy free lives celebrate Daiya together.  However, unlike me, she does enjoy her meat.  ;)  I get the feeling from her that vegetarianism is one step away from criminal in the Filipino culture.  Anyways, now that I’m back in So Cal, we are uniting our passion for food.  She is showing me the ins and outs of Filipino feasting, and I’m… Read more >

Bruins, birthdays, and BBQs

Saturday was sponsored by the letter “b” apparently.  Kyle and I woke up at 7 am to get in a morning jog.  I hate working out early in the AM, but I love how it frees up the rest of the day.  So conflicting.  The reason I don’t like rise-and-shine cardio is because I suck at it.  I’m slow in the mornings.  I don’t really start to function until an hour (or two, if I’m being honest) after I’ve been awake.  The route I took Saturday morning typically takes me 24 minutes (when I do… Read more >

Vegan Enchiladas

Oh yes I did. This shiz will blow your cabeza.  I cannot put into words how awesome this recipe was.  Even Kyle was making googly eyes at it.  I have a feeling I am going to be making this with the same frequency as Lindsay Lohan’s relapses.  Ingredients: small green bell pepper (I used 2/3 medium bell pepper) 1/2 yellow onion 1 tbsp garlic (I used garlic gold nuggets) 1 tomatillo 1 can (2 cups) black beans 10 corn tortillas 4 oz. diced green chilies 1 tsp lime juice 1 tsp cayenne pepper 28 oz….
