Let’s race through the work stuff so we can get to the real story… The lunch stack! Side note: I need eco-friendly, reusable utensils. I’ve been using the same plastic ones day in and day out [actually they are made from corn or some other hippie ingredient, but still, they are most definitely not meant for reuse]. And while I am a fan of this form of recycling, it’s kinda gross. I’m embarrassed to admit that I don’t even wash them. I just put them back in my lunchbox once I’m done eating. I’m saving… Read more >

I’m pretty sure my version of the phrase is just as true (and not nearly as morbid). I mean really, is there anything more certain in life than the fact that I’ll consume pounds and pounds of hummus? No. The burden of taxes, on the other hand, is a far less joyous inevitability. Kyle and I have nearly finished ours, though, so at least that will be one big check off the to-do list. I have to say, moving to a different state and starting new jobs certainly made things more difficult this year. Good… Read more >

I was going to try and throw down a quick recap of this “holiday” weekend, but alas, my ramblings got the best of me…it may be picture dense, but it’s not so quick. Saturday was the main event, if you will, but Friday was pretty sweet too. Kyle and I made a Costco run – always dangerous when you’re a foodie living on a student budget. Key purchases worth noting… Almond Butter (this jar is the size of my head) Sabra hummus x3 including spinach artichoke and roasted pine nut flavors plus individual mini tubs… Read more >

Sometimes the perfect storm occurs and a rainy day overlaps with that time of the month (TMI? sorry male readers…) and all I want to do is bake. Chocolate, specifically. Yes please! Recently Gabriela made a batch of double dark chocolate peanut butter cookies that I bookmarked for just this sort of occasion. I modified the recipe a bit, as noted below. Double Chocolate PB Crunch Cookies (adapted from this recipe) Ingredients: 1 cup whole wheat flour 1/4 cup sucanat vegan cane sugar 1/4 tsp salt 3 tbsp special dark chocolate cocoa powder 1/2 cup… Read more >

Love. Love. Love. You can pretty much slap any romantic words in front of a meal name on the 14th and it’s instantly a cupid-themed treat, right? (Well, maybe not mushy) This morning’s oats were anything but ordinary – they were hot and steamy. 🙂 The add ins were semi-special. Mostly because there was no moderation whatsoever in the amounts used. Sure it looks like a simple spoonful of raw almond butter above, but I actually added in the entire remaining portion seen below. I also added the whole banana into the oats when they… Read more >
