That thing up there. That’s home-made sushi. Yeah. I know. [The fact that I had to explain what a food photo is…speaks volumes…right?] I’m really not sure what I’m worse at – rolling or slicing. But it was bad guys. Really bad. I welcome all comments that can assist in future sushi making. Clearly skimming the pamphlet that came with the sushi mat (back when I got it four years ago) wasn’t enough. For filling ingredients we went kinda untraditional. This was a tofu spread that I made with extra firm tofu, tahini, and soy… Read more >

I was going to call this sights unseen, but I took photos, so obviously it CAN be seen! Here are a few things that didn’t quite deserve a spot in the two-a-day challenge, but were still worth sharing. Snack of vegan and gluten free champs. Mary’s Gone Crackers and Daiya cheddar wedge. Runner up snack: La Boulange bread with avocado and salt. Dad showing his Sabra love. Balsamic Brussels (for the Christmas Eve caroling party). My parents’ freezer (aka proof of where I get my OCD tendencies and caffeine addiction). They’re Peet’s devotees, particularly… Read more >

12/24/12 The eve of Christmas was more mellow than the rest of my days home, but I still had a brunch with friends scheduled for the morning. Kyle and I met up with Marisa and Heather (my girlfriends with whom I had monthly dinner dates in NYC) at La Boulange in our home town (I’ve known these girls since kindergarten). Somehow I’d never tried the place out, and if you’re wondering how that could be, it’s because La Boulange opened pretty recently (full disclosure: I don’t know if it was actually recent or not, but… Read more >

What do we have here? Can you see what’s in there or do I need to zoom in for you. Oh hello there hippie bowl of yum. I cheated on the protein portion. Normally I make my own seitan. But I had to go to the co-op for an emergency purchase (almond milk) and ended up leaving with two impulse buys. Dang it! Budget fail. I’ve seen Upton’s Natural seitan on other blogs before, but never in the store. Or maybe I just wasn’t looking. Either way I found it now, and they have… Read more >

You know what my LEAST favorite part about blogging is? Thinking of post titles. Seriously, I am depleted. After 4+ or whatever years it seems like there’s nothing left. So I always wait ‘til the end and then I sit there, waiting to hit publish, while I stare at “enter a post title” on the top of the page. Most of the time I go one of two routes – either super cheesy (like really lame puns) or super boring (like the name of a recipe). It’s a miracle if it’s remotely clever. But hopefully… Read more >
