Lazy foodie

I was too lazy to make coffee this morning, so I headed to Starbucks to get my java fix…plus I’m way more productive without Bravo in the background.  Although I’m not a big fan of Valentine’s Day, I am enjoying the heart cups.  I busted out an apple after my soy misto. Around noon I headed home for lunch.   Mostly I wanted avocado, so I made sure my meal revolved around that.  BBQ sauce/nooch covered one half of the WF sandwich thin, with avocado lathered on the opposite half. I had a bowl of sweet… Read more >

Monday’s sweet tooth

Thanks to my whole foods gift card, I was able to replenish my NuNaturals stevia… This frothy treat is coffee with coconut milk, cinnamon, and NuNaturals.  Luff. Brunch was a bit unconventional…I felt like grilled cheese, so I got crafty and mashed together extra firm Nasoya tofu and nutritional yeast. It looks kinda bizarre, but tasted yum-may. Currently there is a pretty bomb deal going on at Whole Foods with Steaz (when you buy a 4-pack you get another for free), so obviously I went for it.  My sweet tooth took over for the rest… Read more >

A weighty post

J’adore all the recent commenters! Keep delurking peeps, it’s great hear from ya :)  My love cup is full (yes, I just quoted Vicki, cringe).  After the (above) overflowing frothy cuppa java, I was at a serious crossroads.  I wanted more caffeine, but I also wanted chocolate.  Such a dilemma!    Solution: MOCHA!  I combined coffee, Chatfield’s cocoa powder, vanilla extract, and agave nectar.  It was heavenly.  I mistakenly took a sip before taking a photo (which was only a mistake because it was SO dang good that half the cup was in my tummy… Read more >

A day of flying

Flying from Bellingham to Seattle to SFO to JFK required some SERIOUS eats.  Fortunately I had vegan options up the yin yang gracias a Mr. and Mrs. Kyle. 8 am – medjools   9 am – board flight #1 10 am – land in seattle 10:30 am – set up shop in starbucks (implied caffeination x2) 11 am – open “family size” bag of Glutino pretzels 11 – 12 pm – lose track of time AND number of pretzels consumed thanks to the hottness that is Puck [swoon] 12:30 pm – mad dash to board… Read more >

Ode to the in-laws

It’s no wonder people are scared of their significant other’s parents; with movies like Meet the Parents, in-laws get a pretty bad rap.  Fortunately for me, this stereotype couldn’t be further from the truth.  I just got back from a weekend+ getaway with Kyle’s family and I couldn’t be more thrilled to be joining his family than if they were the sole heirs to the Whole Foods chain.  Not only are they amazingly accepting of my vegan lifestyle, but they go above and beyond to accommodate it, to the point of straight up spoiling me!… Read more >
