Let the apple recipes continue… I’m slowly working my way through my apple stash. This recipe is clean and simple, so there’s a lot of room for tweaking it and/or adding in extra ingredients. Apple & Potato Hash with Blackened Tempeh [vegan, gluten free] Ingredients: For the hash: 2-3 potatoes (I used 1 russet and 2 red potaotes) 1 large apple (I used 1 pink lady) 1-2 tbsp coconut oil For the tempeh: 1/2 block (4 oz.) tempeh (I used TJ’s brand) 1 tsp cumin 1 tsp paprika 1/2 tsp onion powder 1/2 tsp garlic… Read more >

I’ll admit it, I’m a carb lover. I don’t think this is a bad thing at all. Brown rice, oats, quinoa, sweet potatoes, whole wheat, etc. – I think they are all part of a healthy, well balanced diet. So are fruits and vegetables. It’s hard to imagine a low-carb plant-based diet. How would that work exactly? Well, that’s the exact dilemma I was faced with last week (after failing my first GTT). While I was waiting to take my second GTT, I tried reducing my carb and sugar intake to see how it might… 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 >

My birthday week started last weekend with apple picking. After that we headed to lunch at Mendocino Farms. As much as I love the place, it’s not conveniently located for me. But since we had already been in the car for well over an hour, we figured what’s an extra few miles out of the way? Kyle got the Modern Tuna Melt which has “all white Albacore tuna with fresh herbs, farm house cheddar, vegenaise, housemade pickles, red onions, tomatoes, Scarborough Farm’s greens on panini grilled buckwheat.” He nixed the pickles, obviously, and deemed it… Read more >

This weekend Kyle and I visited my G-ma in Newport Beach, went to a friend’s baby shower in Fullerton, attended a wedding in Temecula, and stayed with Kyle’s parents in San Clemente. If you do the math, that’s over 300 miles of driving (6+ hours!!!). Check out how fun this looks. Just our luck – gas prices reached $5.50 per gallon this weekend! Isn’t that fabulous? Of course record breaking fuel prices would coincide with such a jam packed weekend on the road. Anyway. Sarcasm aside, it was pretty awesome to see so many family… Read more >
