Krav Magic

I went to bed sooo late last night because I was waiting for Kyle to finish his homework (yes, he has homework).  Too bad for me that didn’t end up being until 1 am.  I wasn’t too concerned because, hey, it’s not like I have a job or anything.  But instead of sleeping in and regaining those lost hours, I was up and at ‘em at 7:30.  😡 6 hours of sleep?  Meh.  Not bad, but not a routine I want to roll with all the time.  The early rise and shine did give me… Read more >

Savory leftovers

If there’s one thing I pride myself on, it’s my ability to create meals out of the most random hodgepodge assortment of leftovers.  This should come as no surprise given my love for everything-but-the-kitchen-sink salads, but I definitely think I have a knack for making cupboard scraps and a nearly empty fridge into a fairly decent dish.  Oats are the perfect central ingredient for this little something-out-of-nothing trick.  If I’m going the savory route with oats, there’s one ingredient I turn to without fail, and that’s nutritional yeast… Welcome to nooch mountain.  Full of fresh… Read more >

It all evens out

Last week I had one of those days where my appetite just wouldn’t quit.  I hate those kinds of days, honestly.  They either mean my metabolism is psychotically fast (here’s hoping!) or I’m nursing a tapeworm (shudder).  Unfortunately, I didn’t handle it in a healthy or mindful way.  My stomach seemed to be growling constantly, so I took advantage of it and (ultimately) went overboard.  I wasn’t going to blog about it (because, quite frankly, the actual eats weren’t exactly newsworthy), but then I realized how I reacted the following day was worth sharing with… Read more >

Bud Light Bread

How exactly can beer and pizza be healthy?  Well, it depends on how you make them, I guess.  You can use 100% Whole Wheat flour for instance. And light beer. And you can use Brendan Brazier’s recipe for “pizza sauce.” But in the end, all that matters is if it tastes good.  And it did. Last month, I bookmarked a very intriguing recipe from my fave healthy everythingtarian in which she made pizza dough using beer.  If your reaction to this news is anything like mine was, you’re probably chomping at the bit in anticipation… Read more >

Shout out to the ones I love

If Pigpen and Courtney Love shared a teeny tiny living space, I’d imagine it would still look more organized than our apartment.  Moving isn’t fun.  There’s chaos everywhere.  Given that, I believe I deserve mayj props for busting out a semi respectable breakfast. Berry carob pancakes 1 1/2 cup brown rice flour 2 tsp NuNaturals stevia 2 tsp baking powder 1/2 cup frozen (and then thawed) berries 1/4 cup carob chips 1 shake Marx Foods salt 1 cup Silk vanilla soymilk I gobbled them up hot off the press…much like the Cosmo, Bride, and InStyle… Read more >
