10 years ago, if you asked me my favorite nut butter, I probably would have looked at you like you were crazy. Was there anything other than peanut butter? I certainly wasn’t aware of any other kinds.* I went through obscene amounts of peanut butter in college. I was poor and it was cheap easy to steal from the sorority kitchen. 😉 However, since discovering almond butter, cashew butter, and sunflower seed butter, peanuts have been sidelined. Poor little bench warmers. Anyway. I felt like they earned the starting role in last night’s dinner, so… Read more >

Despite feigning concern about aging, I really don’t care about sharing how old I am. Kyle is younger (and he enjoys reminding me of it), but I am healthy and happy and have enjoyed my 20’s so there’s no reason for me to pretend that adding another candle to my cake is some big stressful occasion.

Breakfast: quinoa with strawberries, bananas, cinnamon and peanut butter Since starting out on the low FODMAPS journey, I’ve been… Read more >

I had so many cookie fails today. It was rather discouraging for my poor baking heart. I made FOUR batches of cookies today. FOUR!!! And only one turned out. One out of four is a horrible average. Under ordinary circumstances it wouldn’t matter, because I’m usually just cooking/baking for me [and I rarely (slash never) show you guys my unsuccessful recipes]. However, as I mentioned before, these desserts have been specially requested for a work party. And since this is my one shot to win my coworkers over with delicious vegan treats, I can’t show… Read more >

Are you ready for the easiest meal ever? frozen stir-fry veggies + 1/4 cup water extra firm tofu 2 tbsp peanut butter 2 tbsp coconut oil Asian spice mix/Chinese five spices blend (I used 365 Asian seasoning) Add the stir-fry veggies, the water, and the spices until the veggies have thawed. Then add the rest of the ingredients. Serve over rice. Bam! – you’re in Bangkok – and dinner is done.
