I was sloshing the morning away with all this liquid love. I’m a certified Amazing-Grass-a-holic. Chocolate luuurrve. By the way, this smoothie was made with frozen bananas and plain greek yog, and was the BEST version yet. I wish my blender actually crushed ice the way blenders are supposed to…for some reason I keep getting to the bottom of my “blended” drinks to discover 4 ice cubes balls with the corners knicked off…I guess I’ll just have to make do with this one until next summer because we have no room in our kitchen (or… Read more >

Yes. I have it. And although flair ups have been minimal since I’ve been vegan, I DO still have days when I feel like caca (ironically, from the absence of it). TMI? Sorry. Usually these days are brought on by stress, and as much as I try to avoid it (with my nice planned out schedules), sometimes life throws a wrench in it. Unavoidable. Deal. This weekend, with my 3 shifts in a row schedule, I had to make like Tim Gunn and “make it work.” Comfort foods, aplenty. Review: not too shabby in a… Read more >

I feel like this post should come with a warning. If you’re the jealous type…then look away, because this post may just make you wish you were engaged to my fiancé 🙂 I’ll post more on the rest of my weekend meals later, but Sunday night deserves it’s own (detailed) explanation. Kyle told me that he’d have a surprise waiting for me when I got home, and sure enough, I was totally blown away! He used the recipe for PF Chang’s lettuce wraps to replicate their famous dish – with a vegan (and HHH) twist. … Read more >

The first law of thermodynamics states that heat is a form of energy, which can be transferred, but never created nor destroyed. The second law of thermodynamics states that the entropy of the universe always increases. The third law of thermodynamics implies that it is impossible to cool a system all the way to exactly absolute zero. Sure, it may seem weird to start a post with a science lesson, but like most other things in life, it can also be applied to food… 1. Heat is a form of energy?! Hell yeah it is!… Read more >

My breakfast was a bit out of the ordinary. Coffee, normal. Open faced grilled cheese, not normal? On the side, I had two apples, which complimented the VeganRella mozz perrrrrfectly. Crunch + melty = great (albeit bizarre) breakfast For lunch I made a tofu salad with a new twist on a fave recipe. The last time I made this was a big success, so I recreated it, but with a few changes (less mayo, more tofu, brocc slaw instead of celery, shredded carrots instead of chopped). The result was just as successful. I had it… Read more >
