Kyle’s coworkers tease him (in a fun, non-mean way) about his healthy vegetarian lunches. Apparently he’s the organic, non GMO hippie of his office, just like I am in mine. 🙂 Now his colleagues are wondering when I’m going to start packing food for all of them. Which I’m considering a victory for veggies everywhere. Thanksgiving leftovers on quinoa. Oatmeal & snacks. Spaghetti. Crock-pot potato chowder (recipe coming). Pita SB&J with organic Swanson sunbutter and home-made pluot plum jam. 18 Rabbits gracious granola packet with organic vanilla greek yogurt. Scrambled mish… Read more >

First order of business, the gardein winners.  #8 Robin O., #25 Erica Wollman, and #28 Debbie.  Email me with your addresses. Now.  Let’s do a full day of food, okay?  This is from over a week ago. I woke up way too early after sleeping way too little. Nothing new. I had milky coffee. And holiday waffles with an egg. Oh gorgeous froth. About two hours later, I was hungry (again), so I made a sweet potato hash. I made it the same way as I previously posted. You’d think the coconut oil would have… Read more >

Unlike last week’s meal plan, I kept this one a bit more flexible due to the uncertainty (and chaos) on the calendar. In addition to my usual work schedule, I had a four hour class (for work) and maternity unit tour. That meant I’d be at the hospital all five days of the week. I can’t get away from the place! Kyle was also busy with work – presentations, dinner meetings, etc. Accordingly, I planned out dinners for all five week days, but didn’t assign definite nights for most of them. Instead I just figured… Read more >

Name a vegan meal that’s more simple than an Asian stir-fry. Go on. I dare you to come up with something more basic. I’ll take it a step further. How about a stir fry that’s got all the flavor of a restaurant dish but is ready in under 30 minutes? Now I have your attention. Guess what they are carrying at Costco now!?!? You guys. This is huge. Gardein’s Mandarin Orange Crispy Chick’n is now being sold in the frozen section at Costco. The chicken is separate from the little sauce packet. They were all… Read more >

I realize certain things are not meant to be photographed. Stew is one of those things. [Same goes for certain angles of my pregnant body. And the spider web situation we have going on in the front yard. And Kyle’s closet. No seriously, it’s out of control.] Maybe Ansel Adams could make this look tasty, but I am working with an iPhone at 5 am in a poorly lit kitchen. Natural sunlight, what?? Just trust me. It’s good. Leftover Crock-Pot Stew [vegan, gluten free] Ingredients: 2 tbsp olive oil 1/2 yellow onion… Read more >
