stir fry

Simple vegan stir fry

Here’s quick one.  For veg lovers in a hurry. Ingredients: i bag Whole Foods frozen veggie medley (they have frozen veggies on sale right now and the combos are really yummy, mine was the four seasons blend with green beans, corn, peas & carrots) 1 block extra firm tofu, diced 1 –2 tbsp coconut oil 1/4 cup peanut flour (you could sub in peanut butter here, but you may want to thin it out with some water first) 1-2 tbsp soy sauce I sprayed the pan with non-stick spray (I’m a really big fan of… Read more >

From Gwyneth Paltrow’s bestie

My sister really likes food.  She also really likes celebrities.  She has been known to say “I feel like we could be best friends” about several A-listers (and some B-listers too).  But I won’t tease her too much because she’s moving to another country soon and I’m afraid if I’m not nice to her she’ll never come back.   Posting this photo isn’t a great start. Anyway.  Every time we talk she is raving about a new recipe from Gwyneth Paltrow, so I told her to send me a guest post.  And she delivered.  Take… Read more >

Thai in twenty

Are you ready for the easiest meal ever? frozen stir-fry veggies + 1/4 cup water extra firm tofu 2 tbsp peanut butter 2 tbsp coconut oil Asian spice mix/Chinese five spices blend (I used 365 Asian seasoning) Add the stir-fry veggies, the water, and the spices until the veggies have thawed.  Then add the rest of the ingredients. Serve over rice.  Bam! – you’re in Bangkok – and dinner is done.

Back in the states

My flight(s) home were a disaster, but I’m here now! 🙂  I’ve actually been back for a couple of days, but I’m still trying to readjust to the time change. I was sad to leave vacation mode, but if I’m being perfectly honest, I was very ready to return home. I plan on doing more detailed posts (most likely in flashback fashion) about my trip and being vegan while traveling through Spain and France, but for now, I’m going to soak up everything I missed while I was away. Shockingly (or not shockingly, depending on… Read more >
