Phew! Just finished a string of shifts at the hospital and I’m ready to start my weekend. So this Friday will be a day of catch up – I’m mega behind in all parts of life, including blogging. Last time I checked, blogging about Sunday’s meal on Thursday is…what’s the word?…ah yes, a lost cause. The Foodbuzz festival was no ordinary situation, though. I scored a whole lotta swag that I can’t wait to share with all y’all. For instance, this cute lil bugger. A Frog Hollow Farms pear. I had never heard of Frog… Read more >

The building blocks for a delicious work lunch… Avocado and tofu. Since I make my work lunches the night before, I am usually in a rush to get to bed. Thus, tofu prep tends to be on the minimalist side. I like plain ‘fu so I don’t really care much. All I did was cut some of the block into cubes, spritz it with Bragg’s and microwave it in a glass bowl with a CoverMate cover. After 45 seconds, I flipped them around a bit, and popped them back in for another 45 seconds. It’s… Read more >

I had a really great weekend – thanks for all your sweet birthday wishes. Presents! Kyle got me YogaWorks classes – something I’ve been “meaning to try” for almost half a decade now…haha. My sister was obviously inspired by our dinner at RFD because she got me the official cookbook. I’m so excited to crack into this baby! So many delicious recipes. Thanks sister 🙂 Like any other day, I started with coffee… A huge frothy mug. Breakfast was atypically savory. In this bowl, leftover roasted butternut squash, leftover chickpea salad, and a chopped apple. … Read more >

These past few days I’ve been sick. You may have noticed since my posts haven’t been food journal style, but rather recipes, restaurant & product reviews. No worries, I’ve been downing Kombucha bottle by bottle, and I’m finally starting to feel ok-ish. This is all very timely, given my first day of work was yesterday. [Sigh] Figures. But anyways, as you can imagine, liquids have been a mainstay in my diet over the last 24 hours. Here’s one of the lovely liquid concoctions I “whipped up” between catnaps. As an aside, I’m always reluctant to… Read more >

My Huckleberry addiction continued on Sunday morning with my parents, sister, and Kyle. Since it was a weekend morning, the place was packed, but at least we got to watch them make bread while waiting in line. And ogle over the baked goods. Maple Bacon Biscuits. Whole Wheat Raisin Scones. Apple Almond Cake. Whole Wheat Fruit Slices. Zucchini Teacake. Blueberry Ciabatta. Flatbread of the day. Macaroons. Peanut Butter Cookies. Whole Wheat Shortbread Cookies. Ginger Teacake. Mini Chocolate Cupcakes. Chocolate Chip Cookies. So which look best to you? If they were vegan, I’d be all over… Read more >
