Seasonal mug

Every day there’s a new pumpkin recipe on some blog or another.  And I drool over every single one.  But I’ve been pretty lazy and aside from one batch of pumpkin oats, I haven’t done much else to resolve my lusting taste buds.   The other night I put a can of pumpkin out on the counter so when I woke up I’d see it and do something (anything!) with it.  Here’s the problem.  In the morning I tend to be at my all time laziest.  Adding almond milk and maple syrup to my iced… Read more >

Reuniting with the fam

As I previously mentioned, Kyle and I were in Nor Cal (Elk Grove) for a family reunion this past weekend.  It was for Kyle’s mom’s side of the family…and over 50 people (!!!) made the trek.  Part of the reason I had been waiting to share my pregnancy on the blog was because we wanted to tell people in person at this reunion…and you know how once things leak online they make their way to facebook two seconds later and then the whole world knows (not that that’s a bad thing, we just wanted to… Read more >

Super fast vegan mac ‘n cheese

This isn’t gourmet.  By any stretch of the imagination.    Noodles.  Whatever kind you want. Sauce.  Nutritional yeast, plain almond milk, lemon juice, stone ground dijon mustard, & soy sauce. Whatever you do, don’t skimp on the nutritional yeast.  It made up 90% of the sauce and the rest was just to give it a little extra zip.   Then – and this goes without saying – just coat the noodles in as much sauce as you can.  Yesssss.

Work meal ideas

Contrary to what my posting may indicate, I do still work!  Sorry I’ve been withholding my packed eats from you guys.  I have only been taking pictures of 50% of them, though, so here’s what I’ve got.  Hope this helps you with some ideas! Oats.  Veggies.  Pretzels.  Sabra hummus (x2).  Lasagna (leftover).  Cookies.  Apple.  Candied ginger. Oat preference as of late: nuts, cinnamon & dried cherries.  When the cherries soak overnight they plump up to get to be the size of full cherries.  It’s pretty cool. Now that we are meal planning, my real real… Read more >

Still at it

I’ve been blogging for over 4 years. I know this because I remember Michael Phelps’ record relay swim was the very first day I blogged.  It’s hard to forget something that memorable.  Especially since I was at Boat Basin with friends and the scene was insane.  In a good way. Anyway, it’s crazy to me that I’ve been at this for so long…in all honesty, I never thought I’d write about food for any real length of time, but here I am, still doing it. My tastes have certainly changed along the way, but many… Read more >
