Since I am working all day shifts this month (hooray!) I have been doing my usual 4 am rise-and-shine before work. Taking Jillian on at the crack of dawn may seem crazy to most people, but I feel like a bada$$ when I’m done. So worth it. Since I did level 3 of The Shred the previous day, I decided to switch it up on Wednesday. I buy fitness magazines from time to time (they are my rare grocery store check-out treats), but I never do the workouts inside. Not that I’m an expert… Read more >

First things first, I made coconut blueberry scones yesterday, and I am really pleased with the outcome. The recipe will be up soon. Here’s a teaser… I had three over the course of the afternoon, very much spoiling my appetite for dinner. They are friggin’ delicious. Anyway. I had one before work (breakfast #1). And then I brought these goods for the rest of the day. Breakfast #2 – oats with silken tofu, raisins, and NuNaturals’ vanilla stevia. Lunch – salad with mixed greens, shredded zucchini, carrots, red quinoa, kelp noodles, and seitan. Snacks… 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 >

If I had to summarized Monday through Thursday in a single post…well…I can’t, so I don’t know how to end that sentence. But, where I was going with that intro was to say my week has been packed and amazing. Highlights reel? Sure, why not. Monday slash Tuesday I had night shift stuff. The only thing of note food-wise was how many berries I consumed over the course of the day. I have likely met my Vitamin C quota until October. I also made a pita pie (for those of you who keep asking about… Read more >
