Trick or (vegan) Treats

I really enjoyed all your giveaway entries.  Sounds like we are all very similar in what we enjoy doing on our days off – relaxing!  As per random generator, the winner of the $65 CSN stores giveaway is Grace, who said:  “I would definitely do a ton of gardening and then of course, cook! There is nothing better than tasty food that you can take the time to prepare.” Congrats Grace! I have yet another giveaway coming soon, but I’m kinda up to my knees getting adjusted with my new work schedule.  Until then, here’s… Read more >

$$ in your pocket

On my days off, I like to sleep in.  The first thing I do upon waking up is wash my face and brush my teeth.  But less than a second after, I make coffee. After that I water my babies.  Then, I set up shop on our dining room chairs and read blogs, write, and do whatever internet related errands I’ve put off for the past few days. All while enjoying coffee.  Coffee topped with froth and cocoa, to be exact.  At least, that’s what I did on Friday. I also had the last piece… Read more >

‘Aint nothing wannabe about it

Evan’s vegan fudge is no joke.  I can’t put it into words.  I mean, look at that! Still not sure why he’s a “wannabe” chef.  As far as I’m concerned, this dessert is about as close to heaven as it gets.  For Evan’s recipe, click here.  I altered mine because I didn’t have some of the ingreds on hand, so I made the following changes. Ingredients: 1 cup vegan chocolate chips 2 tbsp. cocoa powder 1/2 cup coconut oil vegan butter substitute the Earth Balance was empty when I opened it 1/8 cup almond milk… Read more >

It’s all coming back…

It’s all coming back to me nowwwww. Hideous song.  I apologize.  But it’s how I feel now that I’m back at work.  I love it!  I can’t even tell you how awesome it feels to be nursing again.  I will write more about my job in the coming weeks but for now I am going to bust through the food.  *This post is old, so disregard any references to time.  My first day was actually last Thursday and I wrote this shortly thereafter but never got the post up. Remember my pre-packed eats from yore?… Read more >
