I really don’t like this new UC logo. I’m saving the Daily Bruin crossword for Friday because our baby dresser/changing table is going to be delivered sometime between 12 and 4 pm. That’s a lot of waiting around time that I need to fill. But I am SO excited about this dresser (nursery photos to come). Oh, and in case you couldn’t guess, that breakfast was GF toast with Earth Balance and two perfectly fried eggs. There’s nothing (ok, very little) that makes me happier than a fully stocked fruit situation. I’m on… Read more >

This weekend was just plain awesome. I don’t know what else to say. My sister came to visit. My friends threw me a baby shower. And I just felt so loved. And fortunate. Things are good. Thursday night was tree decorating and burrito bar. On Friday, my sister arrived! Hooray 🙂 While she was doing the oh-so-hideous I-5 drive, I woke up early, made breakfast (the standard egg and GF bread with Earth Balance), and read. I had a snack a little later. Rice cakes with nut butter & dried fruit is becoming… Read more >

Kyle’s coworkers tease him (in a fun, non-mean way) about his healthy vegetarian lunches. Apparently he’s the organic, non GMO hippie of his office, just like I am in mine. 🙂 Now his colleagues are wondering when I’m going to start packing food for all of them. Which I’m considering a victory for veggies everywhere. Thanksgiving leftovers on quinoa. Oatmeal & snacks. Spaghetti. Crock-pot potato chowder (recipe coming). Pita SB&J with organic Swanson sunbutter and home-made pluot plum jam. 18 Rabbits gracious granola packet with organic vanilla greek yogurt. Scrambled mish… Read more >

Since I returned to eating eggs…a while ago…I no longer consider myself vegan. I’m basically a dairy free vegetarian. But that doesn’t mean I don’t like vegan food. I love it actually. I eat it often. And seeing as October was vegan mofo, I decided to recap some of my daily vegan eats. October 1: Spaghetti Squash with Marinara & Tofurky October 2: Quinoa & Seitan with Red Almond Sauce October 3: Mexican Layered Casserole October 4: Blue Plate’s vegan white bean soup and gardenburger salad October 5: Pumpkin Cheesecake Pie October… Read more >

Just a typical morning bowl of oatmeal. The weird part about this breakfast was how I picked around the nuts. I don’t know why, but I wasn’t in to them this morning. The cinnamon and maple syrup were all the topping I needed. After breakfast I set to work on mega errands. Our laundry needed to be done immediately (our clothes reeked of smoke from our weekend away). On top of that we had dirty dishes, an empty fridge, a thirsty tomato plant, and much much more. To do list, game on. Eventually, I… Read more >
