big salad

The end of the work weekend brings peace(food)

Sunday started much the same as Saturday, with the buzzzz of my alarm clock at 5 am.  Boo :(  At least I had all this deliciousness to look forward to… Dried fruit (figs, mangoes), real fruit (apple), bars (TJ’s Trek Mix, Jocolat’s newest flavor – more below on that), pistachio/almond/goji mix, sabra mini-tub of hummus, and a huge GREEN BEAST of a salad. Cruciferous much?  Seriously, could there BE more green in this salad?  On top of the bed of spinach and the broccoli slaw was even more broccoli.  T’was perfection in the raw-est of… Read more >

I love Lucy

And fruit.  And cooking.  And cooking delish vegan food for non-vegans.  This weekend I was able to enjoy all of these things.  So much to say!  Let’s back up to when the fun began…Friday. I was craving fruit like nobody’s business. No really. I think I made my point, yes? Kiwis are so sexy!  They are one of the prettiest fruits, I think.  So after I digested my fruit baby 😉 Kyle and I packed our bags and peaced out.  Greyhound tix in hand, we boarded the bus…Atlantic City baby!!!  My enthusiasm lasted all of… Read more >

[Insert witty title here]

Yeah, creative juices are dried up for tonight.  It’s been a long day, so I’m not even going to bother.  You don’t care about the title anyways, right? Why does it seem like I’m 12 feet tall while taking this bird’s eye shot of my lunch?  Look at all the glorious food: Berries GoMega odwalla bar, Cashew Cookie Larabar, hummus, salad of raw-ness, dried papayas & mangoes, home made raw trail mix (carob chips, almonds, cashews, and raisins), and don’t forget the apple! The stars the the show weren’t too shy for a close up…. Read more >

Yes.  I have it.  And although flair ups have been minimal since I’ve been vegan, I DO still have days when I feel like caca (ironically, from the absence of it).  TMI?  Sorry. Usually these days are brought on by stress, and as much as I try to avoid it (with my nice planned out schedules), sometimes life throws a wrench in it.  Unavoidable.  Deal. This weekend, with my 3 shifts in a row schedule, I had to make like Tim Gunn and “make it work.” Comfort foods, aplenty. Review: not too shabby in a… Read more >

Too busy to break the fast

As promised, I had a chocolate-y delicious Amazing Green concoction for dessert Wednesday night. Notice the blender top?  Yes, I went for a more ambitious drink, and blended in ice and half a frozen banana to achieve the perfect chocolate banana dessert.  And I thought my high school weekend job would never come in handy!  Look at me now Jamba! Anyways, as always, I packed my lunch for work, which included the same cast of characters… Dried apples, dried mango, english muffin with it’s other half (hummus), choc/chip/peanut odwalla bar (see nutritionals above), apple, salad.  I… Read more >
