Happy St. Patrick’s Day! No pinching allowed here 🙂 In honor of my little man…and our Irish roots…I’ll share a bunch of recent [green] eats. As you’ll soon see, I have been in a major kale rut. And salad rut. Neither are bad things. 😛 Salad heaven #1: chard, romaine, tomatoes, carrots, avocado, & Sabra’s seasonal rosemary and olive oil hummus Expo West sample: Brad’s kale chips Vegetarian “chorizo” and kale rice casserole (recipe coming for this one because oh my gaaaaahhhh) Salad heaven #2: kale, romaine, tomatoes, carrots, avocado and 365 sesame goddess dressing… Read more >

That’s the name of the meal I ordered at brunch on Saturday. Kyle’s parents took us to Real Food Daily, my favorite breakfast spot in Santa Monica. I love this place so much I’ve stopped linking to it on my restaurants tab because I’ve been at least a dozen times. My plate’s the one on the upper left. It has two (gluten free) pancakes, scrambled tofu (with onions, tomatoes, & cashew cheese), tempeh bacon, and hash browns. Holy breakfast right? You can choose between fruit or hash browns (can’t say no to fried taters!)… Read more >

Quickie veggie dinner with mega protein – check! While the kale simmered in a water and olive oil bath, I prepared the sauce. I took Sabra roasted red pepper hummus and added nutritional yeast to it, then thinned it out with lemon juice and water. The more hummus you use, the better. Then I added the (already cooked) quinoa to the pan, cracked in a couple of eggs, scrambled the whole thing, and topped it in the lovely hummus sauce. Perfection! Done in under 20 minutes. This is the ultimate hippie meal. A classic in… Read more >

I (semi) promised my G-ma that I’d post about our baby shower (although you’ll notice I made no such promise about how timely the post would be). [Me + G-ma] In truth, I didn’t take my camera because I was just going to soak up all the fun and family time. But my aunt, cousins, sister, and mom did SUCH an outstanding job with everything – from the decor to the food – that I feel compelled to share. I’ll include a vegan/gluten free dessert recipe, too (so it’s worth your while to read). iPhone… Read more >

How smart is Costco? I mean, they charge for membership. Then they entice you with samples. And they have EVERYTHING. All for a cheaper price than you’d find (almost) anywhere else. But here’s the downside. You don’t need a 10 pound block of cheese or 50 veggie burgers at once. Unless you’re about to cater a party, for vegetarians, that’s an insane amount of food to have at your house. And really, who has enough fridge/freezer space for that? So how do you use Costco (or Sam’s Club or whatever bulk store you shop at)… Read more >
