Terry Walters can do no wrong

No seriously.  She has never let me down; not once. I love her recipes so much that her cookbook, Clean Food, was the only one that escaped a 3 month hibernation (in a So Cal storage facility).  Everything else was packed up in NYC, shipped off to a remote location in LA, and has been waiting for us to move into our new Santa Monica apartment…but I just couldn’t part with this one.  Sure, my SoniCare toothbrush I forget, but not my beloved cookbook.  Priorities people, priorities. Anyways, in an effort to expand my in-laws’… Read more >

Dinner in P-town

After a full day of driving (11 hours to be exact), Kyle and I arrived at our hotel in downtown Portland just after 5 pm.  He was ready to pass out, but I wasn’t going down without a fight workout and vegan meal in me first. I dragged (to the fullest sense of the word) my poor fiancé to the hotel gym for a measly 20 minutes on the elliptical.  It wasn’t all bad, though.  Thanks to the Ts in every corner of the workout area, we were able to enjoy the Spain vs. Germany… Read more >

Bare basics

Are you ready for the basics?  I’m exhausted to a bare bones post is all I’ve got in me :(  Breakfast: Fruit & caf Snack: Cinnamon raisin bagel submerged in Earth Balance And a mug of tea and crossword a la mode… Lunch: Everything-in-the-fridge salad spinach edamame shitake mushrooms matchstick carrots cherry tomatoes corn roasted red peppers dried cranz Bragg’s liquid aminos (A LOT!) Snack: carrots & noochy hummus Ok, for some random reason, this batch of Cedar’s hummus doesn’t have much going on in the flavor department…which is odd considering it’s my #1 brand… Read more >

Kale-face

Wow…you guys sure like the EasyLunchBoxes!  Honestly, I wish I could give them to all of you…your comments were SO amazing.  I love that there are so many of us out there who pack lunches to tote to work/school/wherever every day!  We are a special breed.  And it makes me super happy to know that I’m not alone in my food packing addiction.  🙂 Here are my compartments full of yummies for work.  This salad was no ordinary salad… spinach corn edamame carrots pepitas dried cranz raw crackers (Livin’ Spoonful coconut curry flavor) On the… Read more >

One step forward, 85 steps back

I promised a giveaway, but I just don’t have it in me tonight.  Blogger fail. I do have last night’s dinner, though. When I got home I was in such a wretched mood, I really wasn’t hungry.  Sometimes my appetite shuts down shop when I get so worked up…it’s like I am so emotionally drained I can’t even think about anything, food included.  I decided to shower, which really helped calm me down and by the time I was de-patient-ified, I was ready to make dinner.  What do you do when you are worked up? … Read more >
