Sorry if you already saw this post. It went up earlier somehow. I don’t understand computers (clearly). Anyway. I’ve been going through a salad-for-lunch-phase. As far as phases go, I don’t think it gets much healthier. Unlike certain food ruts of the past (Earth Balance on everything, dessert after each meal of the day, etc.). So here are a few of my latest creations. Mexi-chop. I tried to model this one after The Veggie Grill’s Baja Fiesta salad. That salad has “chopped romaine, papaya, avocado, roasted corn salsa, cucumber, cilantro, tortilla strips, and grilled… Read more >

Unlike last week’s meal plan, I kept this one a bit more flexible due to the uncertainty (and chaos) on the calendar. In addition to my usual work schedule, I had a four hour class (for work) and maternity unit tour. That meant I’d be at the hospital all five days of the week. I can’t get away from the place! Kyle was also busy with work – presentations, dinner meetings, etc. Accordingly, I planned out dinners for all five week days, but didn’t assign definite nights for most of them. Instead I just figured… Read more >

Name a vegan meal that’s more simple than an Asian stir-fry. Go on. I dare you to come up with something more basic. I’ll take it a step further. How about a stir fry that’s got all the flavor of a restaurant dish but is ready in under 30 minutes? Now I have your attention. Guess what they are carrying at Costco now!?!? You guys. This is huge. Gardein’s Mandarin Orange Crispy Chick’n is now being sold in the frozen section at Costco. The chicken is separate from the little sauce packet. They were all… Read more >

Since I previously posted this week’s prep and my game plan, I figured I might go into the specifics for a few of the meals that I mentioned. And show how the rest of the week turned out in terms of the schedule. Monday As planned, I made Emily’s miso sweet potatoes (which we had with vegan chili) for dinner. As part of the pre-week prep, I had roasted 4 huge sweet potatoes, which was more than enough for the two of us. Needless to say, we had a ton of leftovers for the rest… Read more >

Since I returned to eating eggs…a while ago…I no longer consider myself vegan. I’m basically a dairy free vegetarian. But that doesn’t mean I don’t like vegan food. I love it actually. I eat it often. And seeing as October was vegan mofo, I decided to recap some of my daily vegan eats. October 1: Spaghetti Squash with Marinara & Tofurky October 2: Quinoa & Seitan with Red Almond Sauce October 3: Mexican Layered Casserole October 4: Blue Plate’s vegan white bean soup and gardenburger salad October 5: Pumpkin Cheesecake Pie October… Read more >
