Marinate

My camera battery died before I could get a picture of the finished product…but it was a good one.   I marinated some tofu in a mix of soy sauce, sesame oil, and red pepper flakes for a few days…   Which produced a really flavorful end product without any work at all!  Seriously, I poured the stuff (unmeasured) into a tupperware, added the slabs of tofu and forgot about them.   For the fastest sammie prep ever, I spread hummus on one slice, and mashed the tofu up on the other.  Threw some spinach… Read more >

Hummus’ return

Just popping in to let you all know that this week’s galactans challenge is still in full effect.  Each day I’ve been testing my digestive system’s limits with a different member of the category – including peas, beans, lentils…and hummus.  Oh glorious hummus.  [For a list of the others galactan foods check here]   I somehow managed to delete the final product of this banana, oat, pumpkin combo.  So, yeah.  This is all I’ve got.  Work eats: salad, Halo s’mores ProBar , Enjoy Life chewy cocoa loco bar.   This salad was just your average… Read more >

To Your Health!

I wish someone could have heard the conversation Kyle and I had on the way home from this dinner.  “What does A Votre Sante mean anyway?” “I think it’s another Saint.” “No, that’s not right.” “Maybe twenty something?” “Maybe something sane?” “No.” “Hmmm…” “Is it French?” “Latin?” “No idea.” “Well, I give up.” “We’ll look it up when we get home.” “Okay.” No seriously.  We are really dumb when it comes to languages outside of English and Spanish (I can see Kyle rolling his eyes right now saying “speak for yourself”).  Truthfully, all I can… Read more >

Al Natural in Madrid

Best twist of fate ever! After quite a day’s journey from Cordoba, the first restaurant we tried for dinner was closed.  No idea why, but fortunately we had a backup option ready just in case.  I knew it was veg-friendly, but I didn’t know it was entirely vegan.  Wee!!!    If you are in Madrid and looking for a delicious vegetarian or vegan meal, you absolutely must go to Al Natural Vegetariano.  For the record, they do have ovo-lacto options too, as well as free-range chicken and fish dishes.  We were semi-early (for Spain’s dining… Read more >

Caravan of (live) dreams

Not surprisingly, my cookie breakfast didn’t hold my appetite at bay for very long.  When halftime of the first round of football games hit, Kyle and I headed to lunch.   I had to show Kyle the menu for this place before he agreed to go because the name of the restaurant really scared him.  I’ll admit, Caravan of Dreams is on the moon goddess fairy dream weaver end of the hippie spectrum…but the food makes up for the “out there” nature of the name.  They offer a variety of vegan and raw courses, but… Read more >
