This weekend went by way too quickly. I played catch up the whole time, and it’s already over! :( All I do is make massive bulk meals for the week. Prep prep prep. In any event, the recap need not be dragged out. Here are the bare essentials…including how I plan ahead for a week’s worth of work eats. Brunch Coffee sprinkled with cocoa Sando with hummus and vegan “cheese” on Ezekiel heel pieces. Snack Assorted platter of veggies, fruit, and “cheese” Workout 30 minutes of running on the beach 15 minutes of leisurely bike… Read more >

Phew! Just finished a string of shifts at the hospital and I’m ready to start my weekend. So this Friday will be a day of catch up – I’m mega behind in all parts of life, including blogging. Last time I checked, blogging about Sunday’s meal on Thursday is…what’s the word?…ah yes, a lost cause. The Foodbuzz festival was no ordinary situation, though. I scored a whole lotta swag that I can’t wait to share with all y’all. For instance, this cute lil bugger. A Frog Hollow Farms pear. I had never heard of Frog… Read more >

Last weekend, Kyle and I were invited to brunch. However. This was no ordinary Sunday brunch. This was a gathering in the name of brand management (which for me, just meant vegan taste testing). With a task like that, how could I refuse!?! I’m not sure how specific I can get in explaining this…but the main points you need to know are the following: Kyle’s in MBA school MBA school is all about networking Kyle has a classmate who has a vegan girlfriend Kyle mentioned that he, too, has a vegan sig-o (FYI sig-o =… Read more >

The building blocks for a delicious work lunch… Avocado and tofu. Since I make my work lunches the night before, I am usually in a rush to get to bed. Thus, tofu prep tends to be on the minimalist side. I like plain ‘fu so I don’t really care much. All I did was cut some of the block into cubes, spritz it with Bragg’s and microwave it in a glass bowl with a CoverMate cover. After 45 seconds, I flipped them around a bit, and popped them back in for another 45 seconds. It’s… Read more >

This just keeps getting better and better… Turns out denying the electricians access to our apartment yesterday may have been a blessing in disguise. Now they can fix both the plumbing and the stove/oven “issues” at the same time while I vacate the apartment for greener pastures (by which, of course, I mean Starbucks). That’s the only positive thing I can say about being without water for the majority of the day. I woke up early to clean the apartment and make myself presentable, and at 8:45 on the dot the doorbell rang and next… Read more >
