There’s nothing I love more than being gifted food. I’m a simple girl foodie. Seriously. To all the people reading this who plan on buying me presents in the future, take note. [Crickets] My mother in law actually traveled with Brussels sprouts in her luggage. And then left them with me. Ummm…I’m not sure who’s the bigger weirdo in this scenario…her for bringing produce as a carry-on, or me for being over the moon about it…close call. I think Brussels sprouts are delish. I think people who don’t like them (ahem, Kyle) are close-minded losers… Read more >

The last few posts have had more elaborate (for me) meals, so I figured I’d throw a few of my stand by quickies your way. I don’t usually take photos of the boring repetitive meals because they’re not that exciting. But I don’t cook fun things all the time and it’s only fair to show my lame side (lest you think I’m super homemaker hippie). Eggs. The cheap protein that can be the star of any meal in a minute. Basic Veggie Egg Fried Rice [vegetarian, gluten free, FODMAPs friendly] Ingredients: 2 tbsp garlic infused… Read more >

We had such awesome weather this weekend (status quo for Nor Cal, but still worth noting) so we really made the most of it. Lots of outdoor time! Friday morning started with Earth Butter-ed toast and a fried egg. <— yup, that’s a bite mark out of the toast For lunch I had a big salad with greens, quinoa, carrots, tomatoes, and peanuts with peanut soy dressing. Since I finished off the rest of the PB I just made the dressing in the jar. I broke up P and his girlfriend Sophie for… Read more >

I love salads. Old news right? I’m in a major salad phase. I crave big bowls of greens. I crave cookies too, so don’t think I’m a total freak. But yeah, I can’t get enough veggies lately. This Caesar was one of my more creative ones. For the most part, though, I just wing it. I get lots of questions about my salad combos, but the truth of the matter is I just throw everything from the crisper drawer into a bowl and top it with whatever proteins are leftover (tempeh, tofu, hard boiled eggs,… Read more >

Here’s a dirty little secret. I cover up one corner of toast in 99% of my photos because they have one bite taken out of them already. I don’t know why, but I always take a bite out of the bread before I put it in the toaster. What can I say…I’m special. Or I lack patience. Either way it doesn’t make for a nice photo, so I always manage to cover it up with another piece of food or crop it out of the photo entirely. My first breakfast is above (GF toast with… Read more >
