It’s been a long time since I did a “what I ate in a day” style post, but I feel like returning to my OG format for the a moment. Here goes. Breakfast: Vegan & GF pancakes (made with Bob’s Red Mill mix and almond milk). I didn’t use any kind of vegan egg substitute, I just left it out. I also used only almond milk (rather than the water/oil combo they recommended). I topped it with warm peanut butter and banana slices. Half the banana went into my mouth before it made it onto… Read more >

Not meatballs. I should have made a bigger batch of these coconut macaroon things because Kyle ate half of them before I even tried one. Work food. Banana. Carrots. Macaroons. It would probably blow your mind to know how many carrots we go through in our little hippie household. I eat half a pound a day, minimum. If our fridge were bigger it would be packed with orange. As it is, we have one crisper drawer solely devoted to those two pound bags (plural). Almond milk is another thing we seem to restock at… Read more >

As you all well know, I pack my own food to bring to work every single day. Some days I don’t take photos because I have leftovers that I’ve already shared (or I’m just lazy). Sometimes I take pictures and then forget to post them, and then they pile up on my hard drive. <— I’m pretty sure I’m eerily close to a crash. Power lunching in 5…4…3…2…and go. Breakfast: overnight oats soaked with chia seeds, cinnamon and raisins Snack: Marchini almonds Not as good as regular almonds in my opinion. They… Read more >

Yesterday I promised you quite a few posts… This one probably whet your appetite the most. And rightfully so. I’ve already perfected quinoa granola before, so how does this one differ? Well, it’s lighter for one. The ingredients list is shorter, too. Granola is awesome. You just raid your pantry, throw everything in a bowl, and the rest sorts itself out in the oven. Or you could follow this recipe… Sweet almond and quinoa granola Ingredients: 2 cup whole rolled oats 1 cup quinoa (uncooked) 1 cup almonds, slivered 1/2 cup dried cranberries 1/2 cup… Read more >

While I enjoy others cooking for me, I also like making my own food because I want my meals a very specific way am a control freak change my mind multiple times while cooking. Stove-top oats are a prime example. More often than not, I have no clue where my bowl of oatmeal is heading when I start boiling water. Yesterday morning I wasn’t in the mood for anything too sweet, so I decided to make (plain) Greek yogurt my breakfast’s main ingredient. Sometimes tangy trumps sweet. After adding the yog to a bowl, I… Read more >
