Kyle’s coworkers tease him (in a fun, non-mean way) about his healthy vegetarian lunches. Apparently he’s the organic, non GMO hippie of his office, just like I am in mine. 🙂 Now his colleagues are wondering when I’m going to start packing food for all of them. Which I’m considering a victory for veggies everywhere. Thanksgiving leftovers on quinoa. Oatmeal & snacks. Spaghetti. Crock-pot potato chowder (recipe coming). Pita SB&J with organic Swanson sunbutter and home-made pluot plum jam. 18 Rabbits gracious granola packet with organic vanilla greek yogurt. Scrambled mish… Read more >

We went out to dinner last week. It’s been cold and rainy in Santa Monica, which calls for real Fall clothes.  Bump peek-a-boo. Now you see it, now you don’t. We went to True Food Kitchen, an easy choice as it’s within walking distance and the menu accommodates all dietary needs. We shared the kale salad to start (parm on the side). And I got “the natural” to drink (a sweet ginger fizzy drink). Not wanting to be predictably repetitive, I DIDN’T get the TLT sandwich or the tofu rice bowl, and instead went… Read more >

First order of business, the gardein winners.  #8 Robin O., #25 Erica Wollman, and #28 Debbie.  Email me with your addresses. Now.  Let’s do a full day of food, okay?  This is from over a week ago. I woke up way too early after sleeping way too little. Nothing new. I had milky coffee. And holiday waffles with an egg. Oh gorgeous froth. About two hours later, I was hungry (again), so I made a sweet potato hash. I made it the same way as I previously posted. You’d think the coconut oil would have… Read more >

I know Thanksgiving was ages ago, but I’m only just getting around to uploading photos and such because my week/end was SO packed I couldn’t be bothered to worry about blogging in a timely manner. Shorts and a tank top in late November…must be Southern California… For the first time in as long as I can remember ever (!!) I got the holiday – PLUS it’s surrounding days – off of work. Kyle and I took full advantage, and drove down to his parents’ house in San Clemente on Wednesday afternoon, to stay through… Read more >

Here’s a breakdown of a few of the meals from last week. First, the personal pizzas. The only difference between Kyle’s pizza and mine was the cheese. His was a cheddar and parmesan mix, mine was Daiya. I used Vicolo organic corn meal crusts. I’ve seen them at WF forever, but this was the first time I bought them. Totally love them. Going to buy them again and again and again now. I can’t stress just how in looooove Kyle and I both were with these pizzas. FYI, Vicolo is a San… Read more >
