I ate two avocados today. For breakfast I had toast with avocado and a pinch of salt. For lunch I had a salad with a lot of avocado. For dinner I had a stir fry topped in avocado. I honestly couldn’t tell you which was my favorite meal. I love avocado. I don’t understand people who don’t like avocado. It makes no sense to me. It seems like I’m back in a salad phase because this was so good I can’t wait to have it again. And again. And again. Spring greens. Lightlife’s… Read more >

I have the coolest friends. Ever since we started budgeting my besties have been awesome about making dinners together (as opposed to expensive meals out). Last Friday we made vegan tortilla soup with Ethel. And this past Friday Alene came over with some groceries for this feast… We started out with appetizers. Alene fell prey to the delightfulness of Whole Foods and impulse bought some chips, guacamole, and pico de gallo. Obviously I didn’t partake in the vino. It was kinda drizzly weather outside but Kyle still manned the BBQ. Tofurky kielbasa… Read more >

Here’s the nice one. The thought-out, put-together, balanced bowl of veggie goodness. And here’s the, uh, “special” one. The what-do-we-have-in-the-fridge, too-lazy-to-chop, mish mash pile. Both do the job though right? [By “job” I mean, provide my body with quality vitamins and minerals] Here’s the details on the pretty one. Veggies: spring greens (silly that the mix is called that since it’s winter everywhere else but Los Angeles) & carrots Protein: morningstar chik’n nuggets & quinoa Dressing: BBQ sauce I made this same medley for lunch, twice in a row, before the… Read more >

I know this is not really newsworthy (or title-worthy, for that matter), but since we’ve been on a strict grocery budget we have avoided the restaurant scene to save some cash flow. For a foodie (like me), this is sad. So this weekend we made the most of our sitch. On Saturday we headed to Seed Bistro for lunch. We had a little bit of money left on a gift card, so one of our meals was free. Budget not blown, stomach happy. Win win! Kyle got the sirloin seitan burger (same thing he always… Read more >

I (semi) promised my G-ma that I’d post about our baby shower (although you’ll notice I made no such promise about how timely the post would be). [Me + G-ma] In truth, I didn’t take my camera because I was just going to soak up all the fun and family time. But my aunt, cousins, sister, and mom did SUCH an outstanding job with everything – from the decor to the food – that I feel compelled to share. I’ll include a vegan/gluten free dessert recipe, too (so it’s worth your while to read). iPhone… Read more >
