His and hers differ minimally on the weekends, but on week days I make him portable savory fare. He often eats in the car on the way to work. His faves include mini breakfast quiches and grits. And when I’m lazy, I’ll give him an Amy’s breakfast burrito. Unfortunately, Amy’s burritos have gotten to be too expensive for our new budget. Convenient, yes. Pricey, yes yes. So we said adios to the luxury of prepared frozen health food and hello to the home-made alternative. Tofu scramble + whole wheat tortilla + cheese = Kyle’s new… Read more >

After a week of saving money on home-cooked meals a la plan, I opted to splurge for the weekend. Lazy me. I was working though, so it was my treat. I snacked on chex and chocolate crunchfuls. The crunchfuls are made with pea protein. I got them in a sample pack a long time ago. I reviewed the plain ones here. The chocolate ones are better but still have a definite pea flavor going on. I could get used to it (and didn’t really mind it that much), but if you’re looking for a… Read more >

Despite the fact that I had to leave the party early because I was working night shift (a situation made even more depressing due to the fact that I missed a call to get the day off because the hospital was overstaffed), I still had a nice day. With friends and food and outdoor fun. I had an Amy’s California veggie burger on a toasted bun (Bristol Farms) with guacamole, mustard, lettuce, and tomato. Deeeelish. This meal actually prompted a week long series, in which I ate burgers and sandwiches for every lunch… Read more >

At first glance, the L’Auberge hotel looks rustic. But once you tour the place, you start to notice it’s all a facade. With satellite TV (not that I wanted to watch the Kardashians on vacation) and high tech gym equipment (in the tower’s top floor) and multiple places to lounge around outside while connected to the hotel’s (free) wi-fi…I’d say it was the perfect balance of old and new for a relaxing vacation. Kyle and I went to the gym 4 of the 7 days we were there. Not bad! We ordered… Read more >

This is not a recipe. It’s completely measurement-free. Here’s the assembly in photo format… GF cocoa rice crisp cereal *It’s not certified gluten free, but the ingredients are GF, so the only source of gluten would be from contamination in it’s processing/production. Basically, I’m guessing Whole Foods didn’t want to pay more to get certified or use a separate factory/co-packer. GF peanut flour + USV almond milk And bananas. Mashed. Mixed. Microwaved. Munched. 🙂 These are the kinds of things I create for myself when my GI system is being lame and I need fodmaps… Read more >
