Kale! This sunflower seeds dressing needs work, so I’m holding off on the recipe for now. As a general rule, kale that’s been coated in any kind of nut/seed based dressing is delicious. But I’m picky and I want to get things juuuust right. The other day on my lunch break I walked past this truck… How cool would it be if Jamie Oliver were working with the hospital’s cafeteria! I won’t get my hopes up. There was a sign on the door that said “do not interrupt, class in session”. I want to… Read more >

And no play makes Elise a repetitive eater. Rather than subject you all to the same exact meal (times twenty), I’ll show my hippie bowl once and move on to my work food. Quinoa, carrots, spinach, seitan, avocado, nutritional yeast, Bragg’s aminos. After a few bad days, where I was carelessly eating wheat and agave (FODMAPs no-no) like it was going out of style, I knew I needed to get my GI tract back on track.

I think your taste buds must change over time because four years ago I thought nuts were disgusting and really wasn’t a fan of dark chocolate. At all. I am still iffy on super dark chocolate (nothing over 80% thankyouverymuch), but I adore salty cashews and crave almond and peanut butter almost daily. But that’s neither here nor there. <— pointless tangent much? For the people who (still) don’t like nuts, this recipe is for you. It’s also for my fellow chocoholics. How cute are these mini chocolate chips? Chocolate Chunk Quinoa Granola *gluten free… Read more >

One of the perks of being a food blogger is you get to try new things that you may not ordinarily try. For free.
