My Tuesday and Wednesday. For your viewing pleasure. Breakfast. Banana bread + fried egg. Decaf, decaf, decaf. Lunch. Celery, carrots, zucchini egg muffins with fresh grind peanut butter. After Kyle woke up I went for a short jog around the ‘hood and then we headed downtown for fro-yo. Snack. Cultive mix of banana & white chocolate fro-yo topped with slivered almonds, shredded coconut, blueberries, and raspberries. Dinner. Thai Peanut Zucchini Noodle Fry. Check out the squash from my coworkers’ garden! I also scored some medjool dates and oranges from her. The cherry tomatoes are from… Read more >

A few weeks ago, I had this big ’ol squash just burning a hole in my pocket (countertop?). I love how everyone seems to have the “problem” of an abundance of zucchini during the summer months…I bet google’s search for zucchini recipes is at an all time high right now. I don’t have any growing in my own garden, but Kyle’s work shop is basically a warehouse surrounded by a bunch of farm land so it’s pretty much my personal U-pick right now. Since Kyle hates zucchini (weirdo) it was especially nice of him to… Read more >

Breakfast Udi’s mighty bagel with organic peanut butter and a fried egg. I had the second half of the bagel a couple hours later. Also with PB PB. I’m seriously obsessed with these bagels. They are so hearty and full of seeds and whole grains, you’d never know they are wheat and gluten free. Definitely the best GF baked good I’ve tried so far. What sets it apart though, is the fact that it actually tastes like a bagel. Not eggy bread. Not nutrient devoid buns. Not cardboard crap. Real ingredients! I can SEE the… Read more >

This Caesar was one of my more creative ones. For the most part, though, I just wing it. I get lots of questions about my salad combos, but the truth of the matter is I just throw everything from the crisper drawer into a bowl and top it with whatever proteins are leftover (tempeh, tofu, hard boiled eggs,… Read more >

Here’s a dirty little secret. I cover up one corner of toast in 99% of my photos because they have one bite taken out of them already. I don’t know why, but I always take a bite out of the bread before I put it in the toaster. What can I say…I’m special. Or I lack patience. Either way it doesn’t make for a nice photo, so I always manage to cover it up with another piece of food or crop it out of the photo entirely. My first breakfast is above (GF toast with… Read more >
