Back in the states

My flight(s) home were a disaster, but I’m here now! 🙂  I’ve actually been back for a couple of days, but I’m still trying to readjust to the time change. I was sad to leave vacation mode, but if I’m being perfectly honest, I was very ready to return home. I plan on doing more detailed posts (most likely in flashback fashion) about my trip and being vegan while traveling through Spain and France, but for now, I’m going to soak up everything I missed while I was away. Shockingly (or not shockingly, depending on… Read more >

AM in the PM

Check out my dinner! Vegan waffles made from scratch :)  The recipe is so hearty and delicious (and also top secret), you may or may not recall why…but I’ll get back to that later.  For now, breakfast. I suppose this could be seen as a parfait of sorts. On the bottom: pumpkin oats with 1/2 cup pumpkin puree, 1/2 cup whole rolled oats, NuNaturals liquid stevia, and Tropical Traditions shredded coconut. On the top: vanilla greek yogurt sprinkled with cinnamon.   I managed to take a picture of my snack, too.  I pretty much eat… Read more >

The quick and (not) dirty

Clean eats with minimalist descriptions.  Ready, set, blog. Pumpkin Pie smoothie   Toast with “cream cheese” and cinnamon. I have mixed feelings about Tofutti cream cheese.  It’s got an odd saltiness to it that can sometimes make for an unexpected flavor, but it’s great for subbing into pasta dishes.  It does melt when it meets warm bread, which is a win in my book.  🙂   Self explanatory addiction. Ditto to the above. Avocado + pea mash up It’s not easy being green…when avocado is involved.  On toasted sprouted bread.   My night shift work eats… Read more >

Coco & Cocoa & Cacao

Oh my!? It’s been a sweet sweet weekend so far in Hippie-land.  I’ll spare my male readers from any gory PMS details, but I think it’s pretty clear that my body’s chocolate cravings are well founded [as if you ever need an excuse to stuff your face with sweets!?]. My vampire schedule came to an end this week, and luckily enough, I slept like a baby through Thursday night.  It felt awesome.  And when I say that I slept like a baby, what I mean is I slept like a comatose patient, because my blackberry… Read more >

Synch the schedule

Sunday’s commute back down the I-5 was, well, whatever.  It’s done, so there’s not much to say about it.  I had packed many food options for the road since I was convinced it was going to take us 8 hours.  In the end, we arrived by 2 pm. I’m pretty sure I was meant to be a Brit because in my book, 2 pm is – without fail – afternoon tea time (not to be confused with high tea, which in fact is dinner-time tea).  In any event, I had an almond milky Tazo chai tea… Read more >
