I was going to try and throw down a quick recap of this “holiday” weekend, but alas, my ramblings got the best of me…it may be picture dense, but it’s not so quick. Saturday was the main event, if you will, but Friday was pretty sweet too. Kyle and I made a Costco run – always dangerous when you’re a foodie living on a student budget. Key purchases worth noting… Almond Butter (this jar is the size of my head) Sabra hummus x3 including spinach artichoke and roasted pine nut flavors plus individual mini tubs… Read more >

Well the post title says it all, doesn’t it? The letter of the day was “e” and so I chose to hack up an eggplant. I was trying to make fries, but they came out a bit on the mushy side, so I feel like a phony passing them off as such. Frites they were not. All I did was chop up the eggplant into matchstick shapes (aka “fries”). Then I did a little shake ‘n bake with Lawry’s seasoning. I believe this photo accurately sums up my ghetto fabulous method. Then I lined them… Read more >

A little background: Kyle’s parents are fabulously open-minded when it comes to food. My veganism has never been an obstacle when dining with them, and has in fact been embraced with open arms.

Much to my delight, they kicked off 2011 with the Daniel Fast, a plant-based eating plan (combined with the spiritual component of prayer). After 21 days, the results from this… Read more >

Arame. Welcome to the first day of Alphebruary. [In case you missed the description of this month’s little game, see this post] Arame is a species of seaweed. I’ve used it to make seaweed salads before (as well as wakame), but seaweed is something I often forget about until I am at a sushi restaurant. It’s ridiculously easy to make, which is why it immediately came to mind when I was brainstorming “A” words for the first day of Alphebruary. So tonight I was set on making a delicious seaweed salad centered around arame. Here… Read more >

When I get behind in blogging, I tend to get overwhelmed and as a result meals fall into the undocumented abyss. Sometimes I’m able to catch up, but sometimes I have to simply cut my losses and move on. I never want emptying my camera to feel like a chore, so I apologize. To the yummy food that misses it’s moment in the spotlight – I’m sorry. To you all for neglecting to share some mighty fine meals – I’m sorry. Alas, such is life. Forward we go! This weekend is already busy and it’s… Read more >
