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 >

This weekend was a (partial) work weekend. And it was INSANELY hot. Fall is nowhere in sight and while I usually love 90 degree temps, my hormones are not on the same page. At all. Our AC isn’t doing much of anything and so Kyle and I spent a large part of the weekend bitching about how uncomfortable and sweaty we were. So productive. Anyway. I did take pics of parts of the weekend, so I’ll share. Friday morning I had oatmeal with apples and almond butter. Even though it was hot, it was the… Read more >

I feel like I’m clinging onto summer with this breakfast. Home-made banana pancakes with strawberries and peaches. This was my first sweet breakfast in a long time. I finally finished off that massive batch of vegan gluten free pancakes that I made a while back, so I had to do actual work in the morning for these. The effort was worth it, but I wish I’d had the energy to make a huge batch so there were leftovers. Part one of lunch was half a sweet potato with tofu scramble. I’ve been on… Read more >

How I’ve been using up juice pulp is with simple and simpler recipes. Like this quick savory breakfast fry. Quinoa & smoky tempeh strips with leftover carrot pulp (or whatever pulp you have on hand…be it kale, cucumber, etc.). Added to a pan with non-stick spray or olive oil and heated until it gets crispy. Served with a side of vitamins. Yum. There’s also quinoa quiche, which is highly adaptable depending on what veggies you have on hand. If you recall, we demolished this between the two of us in one night. You… Read more >
