Where oh where to begin. Last weekend was so full. On Thursday we drove home via the glorious I-5. If I had to guess how much of my life I’ve spent on that drive… So Thursday morning I got up early because I had a few things I wanted to get done before the commute home. First, breakfast. Another vegan tofu “scramble” with a sliced peach on the side (as if you couldn’t figure out what that fruit was). And my folate, DHA and iced tea. Naturally. After breakfast, I ran some errands, and then… Read more >

Alternative title for this post: the day I ate an entire avocado. Oh look! A non-egg breakfast! We were out of eggs, so the night before I made a vegan alternative. Just silken lite tofu, nutritional yeast, & Bragg’s liquid aminos. [Lots of nooch] Then in the morning all I had to do was add it to a hot pan (sprayed with non-stick) and wait for it to get warm and kinda crusty (I don’t know a better word to describe it). In all honesty, I usually use extra firm tofu in scrambles,… Read more >

I finally did it. I got over the “ick” of Mexican food that the stomach bug I caught in Cabo and morning sickness did to me. Kyle’s very happy about this since he’s been in taco withdrawal. Taco Night!! The prep for each ingredient was minimal. home-made baked taco shells (new method!) vegetarian refried beans lettuce Sabra guacamole Sabra salsa mexi-rice First up, the taco shells. I can’t remember where I heard about this trick, but it stuck with me and I knew I had to give it a shot. Pre heat oven to 375… Read more >

I hesitate to even use the word recipe in this post because these are more like ideas that you can take and use how you want. But that’s too long of a title. The first is creamy broccoli soup. teese mozzarella cheese is a solid cheese, so it needs liquid in order to combine with broccoli. Or a food processor. I steamed a bunch of broccoli, and then pulsed it in the food processor with the vegan cheese and plain almond milk until I had a decent texture. It was a little bland, so I… Read more >

I know I said I was heading out of town this weekend (I am), but I had to pop in to tell you two very awesome things. I have a new niece! Scarlett Alice was born in the wee early hours Friday morning. Isn’t she precious. :) I love her to pieces already. The second is considerably less thrilling to everyone else, but I was pleased nonetheless. This is my happy face after getting a call saying the unit was overstaffed for the night and I could have a holiday. Wee!! I was… Read more >
