Here’s the nice one. The thought-out, put-together, balanced bowl of veggie goodness. And here’s the, uh, “special” one. The what-do-we-have-in-the-fridge, too-lazy-to-chop, mish mash pile. Both do the job though right? [By “job” I mean, provide my body with quality vitamins and minerals] Here’s the details on the pretty one. Veggies: spring greens (silly that the mix is called that since it’s winter everywhere else but Los Angeles) & carrots Protein: morningstar chik’n nuggets & quinoa Dressing: BBQ sauce I made this same medley for lunch, twice in a row, before the… Read more >

Remember the choose your own adventure books? Ah, the good ‘ol days. I don’t remember finding them remotely good or interesting, but it was still fun to pick which direction you wanted the story to go. This “risotto” is kinda like that, in that it’s a blank slate, waiting for you to make it your own. Here’s why it’s “risotto” in quotation marks (and not real risotto).

It’s such comfort food. Very appropriate for the changing season. Christmas will be here before you know it. And then, holy crap, it’s full on winter. To be fair, winters in Los Angeles may as well be spring on the East Coast since it rarely dips below 50. But I still have the heater running so that counts for something (poor insulation,… Read more >

I never thought the day would come when I’d try to vegan-ify a dish served at hooters…but I guess stranger things do happen. Never in my life have I tried a buffalo wing. And without going all Jessica Simpson on you, I’m just going to admit right up front, I have no clue what they really truly are. I mean, they’re meat of some kind (I presume).

I was off this weekend (which is abnormal since I was also off last weekend and I usually have an every other schedule). So exciting!! Saturday morning. Frothy mocha flavored milk. Home-made bread. Toasted to oblivion. Buttered up the yin yang. Fried egg on the side. Farmer’s market. Restoration Hardware baby & child grand opening. They have a dresser named after me (too bad these are all too expensive). Need to hit up some garage sales asap. College football. Lunch. Breakfast grain mix. Seitan. Carrots. Nutritional yeast. Snack. Sabra spinach & artichoke hummus. Carrots…. Read more >
