That’s the name of the meal I ordered at brunch on Saturday. Kyle’s parents took us to Real Food Daily, my favorite breakfast spot in Santa Monica. I love this place so much I’ve stopped linking to it on my restaurants tab because I’ve been at least a dozen times. My plate’s the one on the upper left. It has two (gluten free) pancakes, scrambled tofu (with onions, tomatoes, & cashew cheese), tempeh bacon, and hash browns. Holy breakfast right? You can choose between fruit or hash browns (can’t say no to fried taters!)… Read more >

Sunday Tofu Caesar Salad Totally gonna be a regular from now on. Easy peasy and deeeelish. Monday Cabbage & Green Chickpea Curry with brown rice Kyle requested this. He wanted cabbage specifically. Turns out, cabbage is cheap. The other ingredients were things we had on hand already – including frozen green chickpeas (365 brand) and carrots.

Served it up over… Read more >

He really liked it. He also said it reminded him of tuna salad. Maybe it’s been a while since he’s had tuna because I definitely disagree. This chickpea salad isn’t tuna-esque at all. But whatever. He liked it, so that’s all that matters. Oh, and I think it’s pretty good too. 😉 Quickie Chickpea Salad… Read more >

Unlike last week’s meal plan, I kept this one a bit more flexible due to the uncertainty (and chaos) on the calendar. In addition to my usual work schedule, I had a four hour class (for work) and maternity unit tour. That meant I’d be at the hospital all five days of the week. I can’t get away from the place! Kyle was also busy with work – presentations, dinner meetings, etc. Accordingly, I planned out dinners for all five week days, but didn’t assign definite nights for most of them. Instead I just figured… Read more >
