The week’s recap

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 >

Leftovers multiple ways

Last weekend we went to Veggie Grill for takeout.  You get a free entree for your birthday and since you have until the end of the month to use it, I was almost out of time!  I decided to try something new (I figured since it was free I should order something that I wouldn’t ordinarily get).  I hate to say it but I may have OD-ed on the All Hail Kale Salad. I didn’t feel like a salad, but I didn’t want a sandwich or burger either (I wasn’t gonna do the wheat thing,… Read more >

MoFo recap

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 >

Nacho salad

If you have good ingredients in a salad, you don’t even need dressing.   Bottom layer: tortilla chips (if you can find flavored ones, do it)   The Better Chip makes four different flavored tortilla chips that are gluten free and non GMO.  My favorite is the red pepper & salsa fresca – it tastes spicy and salty and fresh – so good!  Kyle loves the sweet onion (it has white cheddar so it’s not lactose free).  Middle layers: veggies (romaine lettuce, tomatoes, corn, avocado)   The avocado is key in this layer, so don’t… Read more >

Asian Hummus Tempeh Stir-fry

Sometimes when I work night shifts, I forget to make dinner for Kyle.  I usually realize it around 5 pm – right about the time I should be packing up my stuff and heading to the hospital.  This isn’t a tragedy by any means, he’s a great cook, and could certainly make a good meal for himself.  But I like making things easy for him when he gets home from a long work day (and hideous commute).  Plus, it makes me happy (and I know he loves it).    Doesn’t this look gourmet?  I’m sure… Read more >
