You’d think after a week of breakfast burritos Kyle wouldn’t be stoked for Mexican night, but you’d be wrong. [The above is a burrito I made for him with Boca veggie chik’n burgers, salsa, & cheddar] For both of us, I made this huge thing of brown rice, pinto beans, and salsa because it allows for flexible meal creation. brown rice –> 2 cups in the rice maker pinto beans –> 1 cup in the rice maker salsa –> 1/2 cup of Sabra’s mango peach salsa (!!!) Super easy. For vegan options:… Read more >

Parties all around this weekend! And lots of driving to get to them all! This was the only thing I took a picture of on Thursday. Clearly it was the highlight of my eating day (the highlight in the non-food realm was Peyton Manning scoring a million points for my fantasy team). Dove dark chocolate is crazy good. My mom gave us two bars as a part of a wedding anniversary present and I had been saving them…for what I don’t know. I wasn’t expecting to love it as much as I did though. … Read more >

Quick meals these days! My philosophy: Throw something on toast or a bed of lettuce and call it a day. [The Essential Baking Co] GF toast with avocado and goat cheese. GF toast with almond butter and a fried egg. GF toast with goat cheese and smoked salmon and balsamic glaze (carrots and grapes on the side). GF toast with goat cheese and eggplant “bacon” Had this a few times…topped with fried eggs to make it extra snazzy. And now for the salads… Spinach, tomato, carrots, avocado, and (lots of) hemp seeds…. Read more >

Holy crap I actually took pictures of everything I ate in a 24 hour period! I can’t believe I used to do this every single day… Starting with breakfast. I slept in til 9 but if I didn’t have a child I would have hidden under the sheets until at least noon. I was still recovering from night shift shenanigans and pacman wasn’t pleased. Given that, both of our appetites were out of control. I fed him first of course, but then got right to work on my own grub. I wanted pancakes, but… Read more >

I realize this looks like kinda a mess…buuuuut… What can I say? Do you eat with your eyes? No. I created this dish because I had squash for days and thought it would be a good idea to cook some bulk freezer meals so I have healthy home-made stuff on hand. Hello layerzzz. I ended up using 3 summer squash and 4 tomatoes, but you could really use whatever you have on hand…eggplant, zucchini, etc. The top is a corn meal crust, which I probably should have cooked a bit first because it ended up… Read more >
