I never thought an Asian inspired spring roll could taste so authentically Italian. It seems weird, right? But all it took was one bite and I knew I had made something particolarmente delizioso. [fyi, that’s Italian for effing delish] Don’t judge these guys by their appearance. I’m not exactly proficient in rolling spring wrappers. As far as flavor goes though, these are dead on. I promise. Lasagna rolls (v, gf) Ingredients: rice wrappers (I double wrapped them, so make sure you have double the amount you want to make) tomato sauce spinach tofu ricotta … Read more >

I just want everyone to know that’s how I read “WIAW.” Yes, I’m weird. So each week, when Wednesday rolls around, and the whole blog world shares their “What I Ate Wednesday” posts, I’m constantly doing Indian chants in my head. Better than out loud I suppose… Maybe you want to click away from my crazy blog now. Or maybe you’ll read WIAW like that from now on, too. Sorry. This is actually what I ate on Tuesday, posted on Wednesday. But, WIATPOW doesn’t really roll off the tongue. 5:30 – coffee with almond milk… Read more >

My camera battery died before I could get a picture of the finished product…but it was a good one. I marinated some tofu in a mix of soy sauce, sesame oil, and red pepper flakes for a few days… Which produced a really flavorful end product without any work at all! Seriously, I poured the stuff (unmeasured) into a tupperware, added the slabs of tofu and forgot about them. For the fastest sammie prep ever, I spread hummus on one slice, and mashed the tofu up on the other. Threw some spinach… Read more >

Last Friday I skipped my planned run to go to the beach. It wasn’t really set in stone anyway…when I say “planned run”, what I mean is, “exercise session I got dressed for but then immediately changed out of.” I’m not one of those people who pre-sets the week’s fitness plan each Sunday night. Yes, I usually do something each day of the week, but I pretty much figure it out that day, depending how I feel in the moment. I work 3 days a week, so on those days I stick to AM… Read more >

Are you completely confused by the title? Let’s start from the beginning. Kyle and I celebrated us both having a free day off this week (we also kinda made it my faux birthday since Kyle will be in Vegas for the real deal). I made vegan and GF pancakes for me (above), and grits with a fried egg on top for Kyle (below). I added some of Follow Your Heart’s vegan sour cream to it at the end, which offers a tangy, creamy kick. After breakfast (and coffee) I went for a run. … Read more >
