My mom got into town late Wednesday night, so on Thursday we spent the day shopping, lunching, and shopping some more. We have both been to True Food Kitchen before. I started with The Natural which is one of the most insanely non-alcoholic delicious beverages. Ever. It’s ginger, agave, and soda. Mmmm… My mom got a lemonade. For our mains, we each got our own salad and then split the TLT. I’ve gotten the kale salad (with my same tweaks – no parmesan, add baked tofu) every time I’ve gone to True… Read more >

The most massive banana ever. At the perfect state of ripeness. A work breakfast (flaxy oatmeal) that I didn’t end up eating because I got cafeteria french toast instead. GAHHHHH!!! Why can’t I quit you!!! Quinoa, roasted veggies, and nooch up the yin yang. Greens, roasted veggies, hardboiled eggs, and avocado. Again, I nooch-ed it up post-photo. Curry tofu. It’s vegan, it’s FODMAPs free, and it’s in the book. SodaStream water with lemons from the neighbors tree. Yes, I put a whole lemon in my water. And I smashed it up and drank… Read more >

While looking at my latest food photos I noticed a trend… My new polishes and my recent meals are far too similar in color scheme to be coincidental. Looks like my subconscious has a preference for certain hues right now. 🙂 Top Left: corn meal grits with Bragg’s aminos and avocado Top Right: spinach salad with quinoa, eggs, & carrots Bottom Left: tempeh scrambler Bottom Right: The Better Chip chips (love!)

Top two complaints about being veg are (a) the price tag and (b) the time.* This meal cost two dollars. And that expense includes both bowls plus [un-pictured] second helpings. Balanced, whole foods based, with all the macronutrients represented. And it took 10 minutes to make. All you need is corn meal + eggs + avocado [all organic!]. Simple enough right? Jazz it up as you want afterwards, but this basic combo will do your appetite and your wallet just fine. Green Eggs & Cornmeal Ingredients: 1 1/2 cup… Read more >

Laziness continued. Coffee. Coffee. Fruit. Coffee. A perfect Sunday morning (“morning” being used loosely since I slept in a LOT). Random fact: I really love fruit salad but I never make it because I like it when it’s already at least a day old. That means I have to plan ahead so I get the exact level of oxidized fruit. I also think that bananas are the essence of any good fruit salad. That’s why I made this salad the night before. It had apples, strawberries, pineapple, blackberries, and bananas. If it… Read more >
