Peek-a-boo! Breakfast, lunch or dinner…it doesn’t really matter…some things are good at any time of the day. Like grains and beans with a fried egg on top. Or savory oats with tofu ricotta. Having leftovers makes waking up easy delicious. It’s as easy as one, two, three… Making the meal only takes as long as it takes to boil water. 1 cup whole rolled oats + 1 1/2 cups water + pinch of salt 1 fried egg + 1 scoop tofu ricotta If you’re wondering, yes, it tasted as awesome as… Read more >

It’s impossible for me to forget about our weekly cooking dates because Kyle entered them in our joint google calendar. So I get reminders emailed and texted to me when it’s time. He’s almost as type A as I am… [Fact: I’m only pretending I don’t find it attractive. In reality, I love his nerdy traits more than anything – I just don’t want it to go to his head.] So anyway…Kyle’s parents came to visit and I cooked them dinner. Happy Birthday Kevin! The (vegan, gluten free) menu: Stuffed Bell Peppers Creamed Corn… Read more >

So the only thing I had to do when I got home was chop (horse carrots and seitan) and scoop things onto my plate. It… Read more >

This bowl you see here? It was something special. I am determined to figure out the exact caloric and macronutrient breakdown because it kept me full for HOURS without weighing me down at all. I finished it and felt both light as a feather and completely satisfied. That’s a hard line to walk. So what was in it? 1 cup dry whole rolled oats 2 cups water 1/4 avocado 1 tbsp nutritional yeast 2 fried eggs I never wait for the water to boil before adding oats, I just throw them in at… Read more >

Going into the weekend I had all my meals ready to go. Starting with Thursday night, I made a typical hippie bowl. If I had to choose a combination of ingredients to eat forevermore it would probably be these: quinoa, carrots, corn, seitan, avocado I recently got a question about the ratio of grain to veg to protein in my “hippie bowl” type meals. In all honesty, I don’t consciously compose them with a specific ratio in mind, but if I had to guess I’d say it is pretty much 1:1:1. Sometimes… Read more >
