Since I returned to eating eggs…a while ago…I no longer consider myself vegan. I’m basically a dairy free vegetarian. But that doesn’t mean I don’t like vegan food. I love it actually. I eat it often. And seeing as October was vegan mofo, I decided to recap some of my daily vegan eats. October 1: Spaghetti Squash with Marinara & Tofurky October 2: Quinoa & Seitan with Red Almond Sauce October 3: Mexican Layered Casserole October 4: Blue Plate’s vegan white bean soup and gardenburger salad October 5: Pumpkin Cheesecake Pie October… Read more >

My birthday week started last weekend with apple picking. After that we headed to lunch at Mendocino Farms. As much as I love the place, it’s not conveniently located for me. But since we had already been in the car for well over an hour, we figured what’s an extra few miles out of the way? Kyle got the Modern Tuna Melt which has “all white Albacore tuna with fresh herbs, farm house cheddar, vegenaise, housemade pickles, red onions, tomatoes, Scarborough Farm’s greens on panini grilled buckwheat.” He nixed the pickles, obviously, and deemed it… Read more >

I was supposed to work this Saturday, but I lucked out big time and got the 4:30 am call. I love seeing my work number on my phone before my alarm goes off. It’s always good news. In this case, they were overstaffed so I got a holiday. And with that, my weekend turned into all kinds of awesome. 🙂 Unable to get back to sleep, I just decided to get up. I took a photo of my bump in the (dirty) bathroom mirror since you guys all gave me crap for not showing a… Read more >

Guess what’s for dinner? Chicken vegan pot pies! My mom2 made this and I’m pretty jealous I wasn’t in town to sample it. I noted her changes below (including the different recipes she used for pie dough and gravy) and rewrote the instructions for the filling process to streamline the steps. It is definitely not a quick recipe, but dang if it doesn’t look awesome… Vegan Harvest Pies (recipe inspired by VeganDad) Pie Filling Ingredients: 4 cups diced butternut squash 1 cup dried cranberries 1/4 cup minced shallot 1 tsp olive oil salt & pepper… Read more >

Pregnancy is weird. I’m definitely changing more and more as the days go by. I’m 23 weeks today and really starting to look big now. Super pregnant. I feel like my bump is a whole other body part. In the morning, it’s manageable, but as soon as I’m upright and gravity allows things to shift, I feel the weight of it. Big time. It’s very much a foreign feeling. I’m unable to sit comfortably on the couch anymore. My bump takes up so much space that the bend of my hips needs to be greater… Read more >
