Barely Bake Chia Oaties

I decided to make up a recipe today.  Because my baking skills aren’t as amazing as I’d like (I’m certainly no pastry chef), I usually follow recipes rather diligently.  But tonight, for some reason, I decided to wing it. I suppose I was inspired by the massive shipment I received the day before from NuNaturals.    After they discovered my vegan cornbread recipe (that was perfectly sweet thanks to NuNaturals Stevia Baking Blend), they asked if they could share my recipe with other “foodie enthusiasts.”   As if that wasn’t thrilling enough, they offered to send… Read more >

Peace out February, you won’t be missed

Thanks for all the positive feedback on my OpenSky shop!  I have a ton more in the works, so I’ll keep you guys in the know.    I had an accident with my froth this morning.  Disregard the mess, it tasted awesome. Bride mag + apple = bridapple.  Sounds like a horse food.  Ah well.  Lunch was a toasty sando with roasted red pepper hummus and greek yogurt-i-fied tofu “turkey” spread. I think I added too much greek yogurt 😕 because the “turkey” spread was a little overly oozy.  I don’t think this sammie was… Read more >

Mother Nature must be mad

Can you believe this weather?  Haiti, Chile, Hawaii…makes the East Coast snow seem insignificant.  There’s a car under there somewhere… So I stomped my way through a good foot of snow to get to the hospital today.  Brrr.  I toted my usual eats with me too, including a big salad, a squash side dish, and apples and bars aplenty. The big boy on the left contained spinach, steamed zucchini, carrots, brocc, chopped celery, chickpeas, and dried cranz.  Holy ingredients.  The smaller side tupperware had delicata squash (I finally found it again! yes!!) with raisins. Do… Read more >

Adrenaline rush 30,000 feet in the air

Before I even GET to my Olympics recap, I have to describe to you the craziest flight I have ever been on.  EVER.  You see, there’s a reason I don’t have many food pictures from my 5 hour flight, and it has to do with this simple phrase: “Is there anyone on the plane in the medical field?” [Insert profanity here]  The good news (for them)?  I was on board.  The bad news (for me)?  I was on board.  At first, when I heard the flight attendants call for help, I got a rush of… Read more >
