Kinda unintentionally took a little break from the blog. I wasn’t overly busy, still doing the same work/parent thing, but I just didn’t feel like writing an (uninspired) post about nothingness so I left the computer off. And that’s that. Nothing exciting happened while I was away though. For dinners: I made this creamy dijon tempeh casserole dish again. This time with 3 blocks of tempeh (I 1 1/2-ed the whole recipe) in an 8×8 casserole dish. Boom. Party in my mouth. That’s taken care of a few dinners/lunches. Even… Read more >

My parents are remodeling their kitchen (slash living room slash dining room slash house slash annoying) so it’s a good thing it was gorgeous and sunny this weekend. Because we had a birthday party for my dad!! He’s 59 years young! I’ll get to the party details later. I have lots of photos of people from this weekend and I know that’s all you guys my sister wants to see anyway. Food schmood right? P disagrees. He’s digging the solids. We had a slow start with carrots, but bananas and avocado have been… Read more >

Oh my gosh you guys, I went to Costco yesterday and literally squealed in the aisles due to all the new (totally awesome) things I found. Even though we mostly stuck to our list, there were a few things I couldn’t help but get. The rest were added to my mental shopping list for next time though. Here are the highlights: Vicolo roasted tomato with goat cheese & fresh basil. I’ve made pizzas with their plain crusts several times, but never tried the already prepared ones. Costco is selling this two pack for cheap and… Read more >

Sometimes I get bummed out when I realize over the course of the day I’ve basically eaten nothing but toast with Earth Balance, bananas with nut butter, and crackers with hummus. In large quantities. These foods are delicious and healthy, yes. But inspired? Not so much. Which is why this simple but different lunch made me so very happy. I got rainbow chard at the farmer’s market and decided I had to use it in more ways than just a salad (or sandwich ingredient). I’ve done both of those things with it already, but… Read more >

Kyle was just as sample savvy as I was at ExpoWest. He promised to do reviews as he ate them, but I thought he was joking… Then I got an email from him (with photos!) and descriptions and realized he was serious. Here are his notes, copied verbatim from his emails to me. Late July organic Dude Ranch multigrain snack chips Great cheese flavor and not too ranchy (the name is a bit deceiving), especially since I don’t like ranch dressing. The chips also have that fun powder flavor stuff on top that sticks… Read more >
