A three-fer

Not meatballs. I should have made a bigger batch of these coconut macaroon things because Kyle ate half of them before I even tried one.   Work food.  Banana.  Carrots.  Macaroons. It would probably blow your mind to know how many carrots we go through in our little hippie household.  I eat half a pound a day, minimum.  If our fridge were bigger it would be packed with orange.  As it is, we have one crisper drawer solely devoted to those two pound bags (plural). Almond milk is another thing we seem to restock at… Read more >

Not that Nestle

I don’t get too political on HHH, but still, it shouldn’t come as a huge surprise that I’m a big fan of Marion Nestle. FYI, the fact she shares her name with this company makes Kyle giggle.    Considering what she promotes, it is pretty ironic. I subscribe to her blog Food Politics, which I highly recommend for anyone looking to stay current on important issues like pink slime, organic farming, GMO legislature, and other hot topics.  Her latest post deals with diet and weight loss which she addresses in her new book Why Calories… Read more >

Single take

How about one photo for each meal? Crock-pot spiced brown rice with almond butter. In an effort to bring some variety to my oat routine (the horror!!) I made brown rice this week.  The crock-pot is just as easy because I leave it to cook on low overnight and wake up to warm whole grain perfection. Kale salad with seitan. No explanation necessary.  These two foods will never cease to amaze me. The Cookie Department Great Full (vegan) cookie. You would never ever know this cookie has sweet potatoes in it.  It was soooo good. … Read more >

Ironically ill

I got this in the mail a few days ago, but I haven’t tried it yet. Ironically, I am in the middle of quite a cold. Kyle has yet to catch it, which I’m attributing to both the Ultra Immune serum and my anal hand hygiene.  I’m a clean-a-holic anyways (side effect of nursing), but when I’m sick I get really OCD about it. The last time I got sick I complained about the lack of natural products on the market.  Aside from tea, I don’t really have a go-to remedy. In seeing the pure… Read more >

That’s marriage

Kyle is the best husband.  I don’t have to worry about this going to his head because he doesn’t really read HHH I got to fly home from Nor Cal, but Kyle had to drive.  Six hours on the I-5 is pretty miserable.  And on top of that, he was nice enough to lug all my heavy Christmas presents home.  And anything and everything else I didn’t want to carry. Like six jars of jam. Weee!  My mom makes the best freakin’ jams and now we are stocked for a long long time. And that… Read more >
