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 >

I finally did it. I got over the “ick” of Mexican food that the stomach bug I caught in Cabo and morning sickness did to me. Kyle’s very happy about this since he’s been in taco withdrawal. Taco Night!! The prep for each ingredient was minimal. home-made baked taco shells (new method!) vegetarian refried beans lettuce Sabra guacamole Sabra salsa mexi-rice First up, the taco shells. I can’t remember where I heard about this trick, but it stuck with me and I knew I had to give it a shot. Pre heat oven to 375… Read more >

I hesitate to even use the word recipe in this post because these are more like ideas that you can take and use how you want. But that’s too long of a title. The first is creamy broccoli soup. teese mozzarella cheese is a solid cheese, so it needs liquid in order to combine with broccoli. Or a food processor. I steamed a bunch of broccoli, and then pulsed it in the food processor with the vegan cheese and plain almond milk until I had a decent texture. It was a little bland, so I… Read more >

Hola! Pretty sure I’ve mentioned before that my parents have a place in Cabo. Soooo… Not to make you jealous…but here are some photos from my “weekend”.

More (guacamole) to come… adios!

This is what suenos are made of. My Mexican cravings have hit an all time high…so I tried to channel Chef Tanya to achieve nacho perfection on my own. Thanks to Expo West I still had sample packs of Beanfield’s bean & rice chips. The pico de gallo flavor just screamed make-me-into-nachos-right-now. They won VegNews’ Best of Show 2012 award and now I know why. They had crazy flavor! To be honest, they didn’t even need any toppings, they actually did taste like beans and pico de gallo. I also recently got… Read more >
