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 >

Of a very pregnant (over 40 weeks and counting!) lady…on maternity leave… Wake up 4+ times throughout the night. Finally get up for good some time between 6-8 am. Drink weak tea with almond milk and maple syrup. Wonder how much longer til you can guzzle caffeine again. Make breakfast #1. A bowl of oats with nut butter & bananas. I usually have half the banana at a time since it seems to give me reflux now (realistically everything does). Play on the computer. Respond to emails and blog comments. Make & prep food… 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 >
