Rhetorical question, but how awesome does my plate look?? I know. So my Thursday morning wasn’t the greatest. Like I mentioned before, I was a zombie when we arrived at Kyle’s parents house late on Wednesday…and even though I slept straight through the night (something I rarely do in my own bed), I still couldn’t seem to get myself up in the morning. So I slept in a bit while Kyle had breakfast solo. Eventually I pried myself from the sheets and stumbled outside for a brisk jog around the neighborhood. I intended… Read more >

Recently, I got an email from a reader (hi Elaine!) with some vegetarian cooking related questions. I figured rather than respond via email, I’d answer in a post (in case others are wondering too). Since there are quite a few questions though, I am going to go through them one at a time. And so continues the “readers request” post series. Elaine: I’m not the most confident-in-the-kitchen girl, especially when it comes to veggies. I love veggies, but since moving out on my own, I usually go for frozen instead because I’m not sure how… Read more >

Forget this Black Friday business, I’m too stuffed to function. I am actually having a hard time looking at the food photos I have from Thanksgiving…but the pictures of the kiddos…I could look at those all day. It may be a while before I can comfortably post Thursday’s meal(s), but I have pre-feast work food to share. First up, a peanut flour/oat breakfast. In addition to oats and peanut flour, I stirred in some home-made granola and chia seeds as well. Sometimes my breakfast bowls look semi-watery and I occasionally get questions… Read more >

I never quite know when I’m going to get home on work days, but it’s usually around 8 pm. Showering is always my priority, which means dinner time is further delayed. This is why I do so much food prep (because there’s nothing more annoying than being starving and staring into an empty fridge). My essentials include greens and cooked grains. You can doctor those up in combination in so many ways. So whether I’m tossing quinoa, kale and sweet potatoes with a nutty sauce and crushed peanuts…or mixing swiss chard with a soy… Read more >

After 8 months and 30 (ish?) countries, my sister is officially back in The States. Her luggage isn’t, but that’s a different issue. I hadn’t actually touched base with her over the phone since mid-October, so it was nice to finally hear her voice again. Of course within 10 minutes of catching up, she told me some things she thought I needed to work on blog-wise. Ummm…thanks for the input Laura. ;) So this post is for her. There will be no recipes. Instead, I’ll share some of the other more random things that I’m… Read more >
