Here’s a breakdown of a few of the meals from last week. First, the personal pizzas. The only difference between Kyle’s pizza and mine was the cheese. His was a cheddar and parmesan mix, mine was Daiya. I used Vicolo organic corn meal crusts. I’ve seen them at WF forever, but this was the first time I bought them. Totally love them. Going to buy them again and again and again now. I can’t stress just how in looooove Kyle and I both were with these pizzas. FYI, Vicolo is a San… Read more >

Since I previously posted this week’s prep and my game plan, I figured I might go into the specifics for a few of the meals that I mentioned. And show how the rest of the week turned out in terms of the schedule. Monday As planned, I made Emily’s miso sweet potatoes (which we had with vegan chili) for dinner. As part of the pre-week prep, I had roasted 4 huge sweet potatoes, which was more than enough for the two of us. Needless to say, we had a ton of leftovers for the rest… Read more >

Let the apple recipes continue… I’m slowly working my way through my apple stash. This recipe is clean and simple, so there’s a lot of room for tweaking it and/or adding in extra ingredients. Apple & Potato Hash with Blackened Tempeh [vegan, gluten free] Ingredients: For the hash: 2-3 potatoes (I used 1 russet and 2 red potaotes) 1 large apple (I used 1 pink lady) 1-2 tbsp coconut oil For the tempeh: 1/2 block (4 oz.) tempeh (I used TJ’s brand) 1 tsp cumin 1 tsp paprika 1/2 tsp onion powder 1/2 tsp garlic… Read more >

I’ll admit it, I’m a carb lover. I don’t think this is a bad thing at all. Brown rice, oats, quinoa, sweet potatoes, whole wheat, etc. – I think they are all part of a healthy, well balanced diet. So are fruits and vegetables. It’s hard to imagine a low-carb plant-based diet. How would that work exactly? Well, that’s the exact dilemma I was faced with last week (after failing my first GTT). While I was waiting to take my second GTT, I tried reducing my carb and sugar intake to see how it might… Read more >
