Stuffed (in the hole)

I recently discovered this oh SO Delicious Coconut Milk Creamer.  I am cray cray in love with it, and since I now add it to my java on the daily, I felt the need to shout it from the rooftop post about it, too.  No soy, no dairy, no fat, just pure vegan yumminess with french vanilla flavoring to boot.  FYI, I usually flavor my coffee with NuNatural’s vanilla extract, but since my stash is nearly gone, this discovery couldn’t have come at a more perfect time.  This morning I slept (wayyyy) in, but eventually… Read more >

National running day!

Did you know Wednesday was National Running Day!?  Step aside hump day, you have been replaced.  Good thing I had the day off work, so I could get a nice exercise sesh in (in honor of the holiday, of course). No work = extra zzzzs.  So I definitely slept in.  YES! As I sipped my frothy coffee, I caught up on all the critical news (like the happs in J+K+8 and the crazies from the Jerz) – I’m soooo worldly.  I went old school with breakfast…oats were my first love, and no amount of time… Read more >

oil…from the gland of an otter

Apparently I have to choose between saving for a wedding, and keeping up with the food blog fads.  So, in the interest of staying engaged, I’m unable to juice for breakfast.  No, not that kind of juice.  This kind. So I settled for the poor man’s version (aka a smoothie).  Into the blender went: 1/2 cup almond milk, 1/2 cup OJ, 3 oz POM, applesauce cup, frozen plain tofu cubes… and the juice of 1 orange (hand squeezed).  Nice before and after, no? The predominant color is the almond milk and plain tofu.  Good thing… Read more >

fact: I love Newman’s Own

Last night I got the best surprise.  After 10+ hours of traveling I was so excited to find a HUGE package waiting for me (TWSS). Holy So.Much.Stuff.   Newman’s Own hooked it UP!!  Can you even believe all these goodies fit in a box.  This is my heaven. I hardly knew where to begin!  Even though it was well past midnight I had to try something (duh).  I think it’s pretty obv what I wanted, since K has been making my mouth water for days…HERMITS! Stats for the original flavor: Organic Unbleached Wheat Flour, Organic… Read more >

how nutty

Sometimes I’m a walking contradiction.  Case in point: nuts are not my thing, nut butters on the other hand, are TOTALLY my thing.  I am not very vocal about my distaste for nuts, because, well, frankly, it’s a bit embarrassing in this food blog community.  But today, I broke out of my shell (pun intended) and had my first nut milk experience.  **A HUGE thanks to everyone who commented with recommendations on my previous post about non-milk milks.** As for the almond milk…It was…interesting?  I can’t even think of any way to describe it.  Definitely… Read more >
