This weekend Kyle and I visited my G-ma in Newport Beach, went to a friend’s baby shower in Fullerton, attended a wedding in Temecula, and stayed with Kyle’s parents in San Clemente. If you do the math, that’s over 300 miles of driving (6+ hours!!!). Check out how fun this looks. Just our luck – gas prices reached $5.50 per gallon this weekend! Isn’t that fabulous? Of course record breaking fuel prices would coincide with such a jam packed weekend on the road. Anyway. Sarcasm aside, it was pretty awesome to see so many family… Read more >

There are lots of kale chips recipes out there. This is the basic one I use. If you like the flavor of kale, you’ll like these chips. If you’re looking to mask it’s green Earthy flavor a bit, you should probably look for a recipe that has a more cheesy coating (usually the best ones involve cashews and nutritional yeast). Ingredients: kale olive oil salt Directions: Wash, de-stem and tear kale into pieces. Put the kale into a big mixing bowl and add olive oil and salt. Massage the kale with your hands… Read more >

This weekend was a (partial) work weekend. And it was INSANELY hot. Fall is nowhere in sight and while I usually love 90 degree temps, my hormones are not on the same page. At all. Our AC isn’t doing much of anything and so Kyle and I spent a large part of the weekend bitching about how uncomfortable and sweaty we were. So productive. Anyway. I did take pics of parts of the weekend, so I’ll share. Friday morning I had oatmeal with apples and almond butter. Even though it was hot, it was the… Read more >

This is an attempt at a “what I ate” full day of food. I think I got everything. Cantaloupe. With this, I get credit for vitamin C, vitamin E, riboflavin, folic acid, & B vitamins…it satisfies both a fruit and leafy green requirement as per What To Expect. Efficiency in my nutrition – I like it! For breakfast we were out of iced tea AND eggs. Basically a mini disaster. I made decaf tea in as little water as possible and cooled it down to room temp with a ton of almond milk. It… Read more >

A reader recently discovered she wasn’t able to tolerate tofu…after ordering a case of Mori-Nu silken lite firm tofu. So she sent them to me!!! Thanks again Emily 🙂 They arrived slightly crushed, but I immediately got to work on cooking with them. I had already planned on making a lasagna that day, but I’d only ever made the tofu “ricotta” with extra firm (non-silken) tofu before. I figured I may as well give it a try with the silken kind. I used my same hummus/tofu recipe for the “ricotta”: 3 containers of… Read more >
