My meals have been pretty bizarre lately so don’t say I didn’t warn you. I have no clue how this meal was born. It came out of nowhere and makes no sense. At first I thought I wanted sweet oats (my normal breakfast thang). But then I saw some leftover tofu and said to myself “why not!” I added chai tea to my oats along with half the block of tofu and mashed them all up together. Then I figured to go full on savory and add in some veggies, nutritional yeast, and Bragg’s… Read more >

Whenever I go home to visit my parents I’m reminded about how lucky I am to have been raised with health in the forefront. The importance of eating well and staying active was a given, so I have never seen wellness as a chore. Eating balanced meals and participating in sports were, quite simply, just the norm. I now know that I was very fortunate to have grown up this way. Thank you mom and dad! Prior to my arrival, my mom had been to TJs to restock the bar stash. And hummus stash…. Read more >

I’m sorry but I’m not sorry that I took a mini-break from blogging… I go through these lulls from time to time…and I don’t want to recap my triathlon experience until I’m really good and ready…so I’ll wait until the mood strikes. Until then, here’s today’s work lunch. Ensalada with Amy’s Bistro Burger, bell peppers, carrots, snap peas, and tomatoes. Kyle had some friends over for a BBQ this weekend, so I swooped on the leftover grilled corn in the fridge to make my salad even more exciting. Crunchy! It was good… Read more >

How did I not know until just now that my idol, Jillian Michaels, has a free podcast on iTunes!?! I’m 24 episodes behind, which means I have enough listening material for the drive to Nor Cal tomorrow (and back on Monday). Score! I was heartbroken (no, seriously, I was) when XM radio discontinued Jillian’s last radio show, so imagine my excitement when I discovered she’s back! And this time on iTunes! There’s nothing more motivating than listening to Jillian speak about fitness and nutrition. Weee! I’ve never looked forward to the I-5 like this. Ever. … Read more >

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 >
