Accidentally GFV

Alternative title for this post: the day I ate an entire avocado.   Oh look!  A non-egg breakfast!  We were out of eggs, so the night before I made a vegan alternative.  Just silken lite tofu, nutritional yeast, & Bragg’s liquid aminos. [Lots of nooch] Then in the morning all I had to do was add it to a hot pan (sprayed with non-stick) and wait for it to get warm and kinda crusty (I don’t know a better word to describe it).   In all honesty, I usually use extra firm tofu in scrambles,… Read more >

Reuniting with the fam

As I previously mentioned, Kyle and I were in Nor Cal (Elk Grove) for a family reunion this past weekend.  It was for Kyle’s mom’s side of the family…and over 50 people (!!!) made the trek.  Part of the reason I had been waiting to share my pregnancy on the blog was because we wanted to tell people in person at this reunion…and you know how once things leak online they make their way to facebook two seconds later and then the whole world knows (not that that’s a bad thing, we just wanted to… Read more >

Our early celebration

Well, you guys have blown me away.  The comments on this post literally brought tears to my eyes…I felt so much love.  I want to say thank you to every single one of you who wished us congratulations (and I will get to it…).  Obviously Kyle and I are beyond thrilled and it’s been sooo hard to keep this a secret (I’m shocked nobody was on to me earlier!).  I will probably blog more about the earlier pregnancy stuff in time, but for now back to regular posting… *************** Since we were away this weekend… Read more >

Still at it

I’ve been blogging for over 4 years. I know this because I remember Michael Phelps’ record relay swim was the very first day I blogged.  It’s hard to forget something that memorable.  Especially since I was at Boat Basin with friends and the scene was insane.  In a good way. Anyway, it’s crazy to me that I’ve been at this for so long…in all honesty, I never thought I’d write about food for any real length of time, but here I am, still doing it. My tastes have certainly changed along the way, but many… Read more >

Subtext

  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 >
