Since I previously posted this week’s prep and my game plan, I figured I might go into the specifics for a few of the meals that I mentioned. And show how the rest of the week turned out in terms of the schedule. Monday As planned, I made Emily’s miso sweet potatoes (which we had with vegan chili) for dinner. As part of the pre-week prep, I had roasted 4 huge sweet potatoes, which was more than enough for the two of us. Needless to say, we had a ton of leftovers for the rest… Read more >

This weekend was a (partial) work weekend. And it was INSANELY hot. Fall is nowhere in sight and while I usually love 90 degree temps, my hormones are not on the same page. At all. Our AC isn’t doing much of anything and so Kyle and I spent a large part of the weekend bitching about how uncomfortable and sweaty we were. So productive. Anyway. I did take pics of parts of the weekend, so I’ll share. Friday morning I had oatmeal with apples and almond butter. Even though it was hot, it was the… Read more >

Alternative title for this post: the day I ate an entire avocado. Oh look! A non-egg breakfast! We were out of eggs, so the night before I made a vegan alternative. Just silken lite tofu, nutritional yeast, & Bragg’s liquid aminos. [Lots of nooch] Then in the morning all I had to do was add it to a hot pan (sprayed with non-stick) and wait for it to get warm and kinda crusty (I don’t know a better word to describe it). In all honesty, I usually use extra firm tofu in scrambles,… Read more >

What. A. Breakfast. You’ve seen this before here. I live and die by this sauce. I had it with leftover pizza. Some dip pizza in ranch dressing…I go for creamy cashew dijon sauce. I was planning on grocery shopping in the afternoon, but the weather was too nice to ignore. You see, every once in a while, the coastal fog cooperates and I get gorgeousness on my days off. Which means, beach time! Don’t let the running shoes deceive you. This was a leisurely walk. For a July week day, the pier… Read more >

I wanted to call this post “The Capitol Building Incident” but I thought it sounded a bit too dramatic. After my identity crisis earlier in the trip, I feel like you guys may start to think I’m some kind of magnet for drama. Not the case. After lunch at sweetgreen, we set off to check out the Crime & Punishment museum. Sounds kinda cool, right? Turns out the tickets for admission are $22 per person. We weren’t about to drop a hundred dollars for an hour of our time, so instead we wandered to the… Read more >
