Many of you have expressed interest in a post dedicated to how I prep for the week. I have been reluctant to do this (read: lazy) because, quite frankly, it’s a ton of work…taking pictures throughout the process would only add on extra time…and that’s not even including the posting part. Today, however, I felt inspired. Here’s a brief look at my process of getting things organized. Goals: Chop raw vegetables Roast squash/potato/vegetables Make tofu/seitan Make quinoa Make Kyle something (lasagna or pasta in bulk) Miscellaneous dish (“tuna” salad, crock-pot stew, chewy oat bars, etc.)… Read more >

I will eat it. Now since I want you to get it just right; here’s how to build the most be-udi-ful breakfast bowl. Assemble your team. I like a balance of textures, so I went with an apple, a pear, The Greek Gods plain greek yogurt, and Udi’s gluten free Original granola. If the granola didn’t have dried fruit and nuts already in it, they would have been supplemented by moi. Fortunately, Udi’s granola is legit enough to already contain the goods. I loved Udi’s Au Naturel flavored granola (seriously top notch stuff) so I… Read more >

As I mentioned yesterday, we left bright and early (6:30 to be exact) to head back to LA. And as painful as it was to get up at 5 to work out before hitting the road, it turned out to be WELL WORTH it. That’s the scene we avoided (source). The grapevine was snowing the entire time we were driving through, and just after we made it out, highway patrol blocked it off. Our friends were just a couple of hours behind us and had to be re-routed to the 101. And they were the… Read more >

Happy 2011 everyone! I know I promised the giveaway winners today, but I’m not quite ready yet… Since I’ve been MIA for the past few days, I have some catching up to do first. Even though I got the 31st and 1st off of work, I was still at the hospital for the rest of 2010. And so before ringing in the New Year, I packed up my lunches as per usual. The above is what I call operation use-up-leftovers. Chopped NutsOnline dried figs + golden delicious apples + quinoa seasoned with stevia and cinnamon… Read more >

Check out my dinner! Vegan waffles made from scratch :) The recipe is so hearty and delicious (and also top secret), you may or may not recall why…but I’ll get back to that later. For now, breakfast. I suppose this could be seen as a parfait of sorts. On the bottom: pumpkin oats with 1/2 cup pumpkin puree, 1/2 cup whole rolled oats, NuNaturals liquid stevia, and Tropical Traditions shredded coconut. On the top: vanilla greek yogurt sprinkled with cinnamon. I managed to take a picture of my snack, too. I pretty much eat… Read more >
