Last weekend we went to Veggie Grill for takeout. You get a free entree for your birthday and since you have until the end of the month to use it, I was almost out of time! I decided to try something new (I figured since it was free I should order something that I wouldn’t ordinarily get). I hate to say it but I may have OD-ed on the All Hail Kale Salad. I didn’t feel like a salad, but I didn’t want a sandwich or burger either (I wasn’t gonna do the wheat thing,… 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.

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 >

Caramel and chocolate. Almost better than nut butter and chocolate. Almost. What could this be? I love surprise packages. Kyle’s a keeper. I don’t want you to think Kyle and I are crazy stalkers, but we are both very much in love with Katie’s cute little family. And texts like the above are not uncommon. I mean seriously, how can you not melt?? Vegetable juice and french fries cancel each other out right? I mean the fries were from Whole Foods…that’s gotta count for something. Kyle wanted me to take a photo of… Read more >

My breakfast was home-made bread (hence the poor slicing) with almond butter. I used up almost the very last bit of it, so I decided to make another batch of nut butter. This time with peanuts. Roasted peanuts to be exact. Deep down I think Kyle prefers peanut butter to almond butter. And we recently bought celery and Ritz crackers, which are two of his favorite things to pile with PB. Honey roasted peanut butter. Kissed with a touch of agave. I had to do some taste testing of the peanut butter,… Read more >
