The word “leftovers” implies the portion in question was at some point unwanted. When you feast on farm fresh fare, this is most definitely not the case. But (shocking as it may seem) there was food left over from dinner. Swiss chard, grilled avocado, grilled bell peppers, and grape tomatoes (all from the farmer’s market), red quinoa, and vegan sausages. For those who asked (all two of you), both Kyle and I looooved them. I am typically skeptical of faux meat products, but Field Roast Grain Meat Co. has really legit ingredients. We… Read more >

I’d try to label these meals, but since I’m still on a bizarre night shift schedule breakfast is dinner, dinner is lunch, up is down, left is right…who knows…time is irrelevant in my life now. I’m not really normal anymore. I made a PB & AB sando. Yeah, skip the jelly, my sandwich was all about nutbutters. I ate some straight outta the jar too. I have no shame. I just sat on my butt, spoon, jar, spoon, jar, spoon…you get it. It occurred to me (after slowly licking 1/2 cup of nut butter) that… Read more >

The above line is from a poem written by my adorable husband. I may have to show it to you later. :) Since I am on night shift this week, I slept in ‘til noon, enjoyed a late breakfaat, and watched tv until 5:00 rolled around. Part one of my breakfast brunch was a nectarine. It was another watery not-so-sweet piece of fruit. Dude. I am so bummed about these lame nectarines. From now on I’m buying stone fruit at the farmer’s market ONLY. The second part of meal number one was coconut oats topped… Read more >

No matter how much I shake the almond or soy milk, the last cup of the carton is always SO MUCH BETTER than the rest. I love the thick sediment that’s left at the end. If only there were a way to make it all like that!? Anyone else a fan of the nondairy milk dregs? In case you weren’t aware, I’m a vanilla whore. I usually buy the unsweetened or plain soymilk/almond milk and just add that and NuNaturals vanilla stevia to my coffee. Lately, though, I’ve been in a mayj vanilla phase,… Read more >

Ok, I know. It’s semi-odd to be roasting winter squash in June, right? But I had a butternut and delicata squash hanging around the kitchen and figured I better seize the day. So I hacked my way into them, lubed the skin down with coconut oil, and popped ‘em in the oven at 375. I made sure to salvage the seeds to roast too. They are loaded with iron and (quite frankly) delicious. Those didn’t get coconut oil though. They were sprayed with PAM and sprinkled in salt. Nada mas, nada less. I took the… Read more >
