This post started innocently enough, with the tempeh recipe I promised from yesterday’s dinner. But then I got emails asking about tempeh and figured if a few people were wondering it, maybe there were more…so admittedly, this post gets a little educational. But who doesn’t want to learn about soy, right? 😉 I’ve tried a few brands of tempeh before, and aside from the fakin’ bacon (which is LightLife’s tempeh version of faux bacon), none have been too pleasing for my palate. This organic garden veggie tempeh (also by LightLife) is the closest I’ve come… Read more >

Miracle of miracles, my breakfast held me over until my lunch break at 1 pm. That NEVER happens! I have this cute bowl to thank. :) Attune foods hooked it up at Expo West – not only did I get this on-the-go bowl (like a sippy cup for adults), but I also got to fill it with whatever cereals I wanted. As a huge cereal addict, this was one of the highlights of the Natural Foods show. I could hardly contain my excitement combining all the cereals to make one mega-master-mix. Uncle Sam – check! … Read more >

A recent obsession has developed in the hippie household…Collards! I’ve been meaning to try these greens for quite some time. Gena makes leafy wraps look so tasty. And her tutorial seemed basic enough for even me to follow. So I took a stab at it. De-stemmed. De-ribbed. [Much easier than it seems] Stuffed with falafel and hummus. Rolled up like a burrito with a side of hummus coated baked yams. Holler! I was such a fan of my dinner, I decided to make collard wraps again for lunch the next day. Rather than go… Read more >

The titles I was considering with the letter “K” would all be flagged as inappropriate if taken out of context, so I will simply say, I had 3 different meals with “K” foods the other day. The first was more of a breakfast snack really. Enjoyed with a home-made cappuccino. Make that a kappuccino (meaning it was dairy-free). I frothed up a full cup of rice milk then heated it and added it to a shot of caffeine. The foam took up half the cup, but the rest of the milk made the most rich… Read more >

And all that mushy LOVE stuff. Right? 🙂 Truth be told, I’m pretty neutral on the whole Valentine’s thing…love it, hate it, love to hate it, whatever! I think it’s cliché either way you look at it. Side note: I used to think Valentine’s was so lame, so for the first two years that Kyle and I were dating I wouldn’t go out with him on the 14th because I just felt so hypocritical changing my tune once I had a BF. This year, I consciously requested the day off of work, but I still… Read more >
