I made a major mistake and didn’t say decaf when I ordered this (venti soy misto) before we hit the road to come home from NorCal. I was very perky! I hope P didn’t get as high as I did off the caffeine! Oops!! The rest of the road trip was similar to the first one – Kyle and I traded off driving duties and our little man slept 99% of the time. I packed up our eats again. Similar as always. Brown rice, half an avocado, & two hard boiled eggs with a nooch… Read more >

Really you don’t need a slow cooker to make this. I just used mine because I wanted to have the option to leave the house…you know just in case I felt like going on a run or doing something active (hahahaha!). I felt ridiculous even as I typed that…the end of this pregnancy has turned me into a sloth. Oh how I long for the feeling of an elevated heart rate (that’s not from simply walking up a flight of stairs). I digress… This corn chowder was something I threw together with fridge scraps. … Read more >

Sunday Tofu Caesar Salad Totally gonna be a regular from now on. Easy peasy and deeeelish. Monday Cabbage & Green Chickpea Curry with brown rice Kyle requested this. He wanted cabbage specifically. Turns out, cabbage is cheap. The other ingredients were things we had on hand already – including frozen green chickpeas (365 brand) and carrots. I made a slurry of sauce with the same curry paste I used here (Patak’s brand) with plain greek yogurt (Chobani 2%). Then I added the veg and waited for the cabbage to wilt. Served it up over… Read more >

A play on the word soup? Such an Elise move. I blame this on my dad (thanks for the pun gene). Here are a few of the reasons soup is awesome: 1. It’s filling. 2. It’s cheap. 3. It’s easy to make. 4. It can be healthy and still taste really really good. 5. It’s perfect for cold winter months. Totally awesome list, huh. Inspired by the soup from this book (see below), I made my own version. The concept was the same, I still used mushrooms, miso and butternut squash. But I… Read more >

My mom’s cousin (my second cousin? first cousin once removed?) very generously gifted me a lot of (used) cookbooks recently. And although I haven’t looked through all of them yet, the few I have browsed through look awesome. In fact, last night’s dinner came from this one. I modified it some, and it was definitely a winner. Of all the cookbooks I got, I’ve bookmarked the most to try in 500 Best Quinoa Recipes. They’re all gluten free and creative, but still simple and whole foods based. And even though they aren’t all vegetarian or… Read more >
