Toasted to oblivion. Buttered up the yin yang. Fried egg on the side. Farmer’s market. Restoration Hardware baby & child grand opening. They have a dresser named after me (too bad these are all too expensive). Need to hit up some garage sales asap. College football. Lunch. Breakfast grain mix. Seitan. Carrots. Nutritional yeast. Snack. Sabra spinach & artichoke hummus. Carrots…. Read more >

[Somehow this post got erased but I just recovered it (tech skills?) – so it’s from nearly a month ago] Good on their own, simple soups like the above are also excellent recipe starting points. Remember this cheater soup? Or this one? Or this one? It’s kinda the same process. Imagine’s soups are great for this blank canvas kind of cooking. Trader Joe’s makes similar products. And Amy’s has some good ones too. I made this meal my own by adding fried tempeh. Tomato for him, butternut for me. I added peas and a dash… Read more >

Necessity is the mother of invention. At least that’s how the phrase goes. Desperation is more like it… The other night was just a typical night in the scheme of my pregnancy. I wasn’t craving anything remotely healthy, but I also couldn’t figure out what I even wanted to eat. Even though we had plenty of options in the fridge, I wasn’t feeling any of it. Kyle made himself dinner, but I didn’t want what he was having either. So I held out, waiting for my appetite to reveal itself. Finally I decided I wanted… Read more >
