I forgot to share this earlier. Look what I came home to yesterday! Marinara tofu baked with veggies. Ummmm…my husband isn’t vegan or vegetarian, but he has been getting awfully friendly with the ‘fu. I swear I had nothing to do with this dinner. I was in complete shock when I got home from work and Kyle was digging into a block of tofu! He was so proud of his creation that he had even taken photos with my camera! Amazing. He said there were a few changes he would make (like splitting… Read more >

M is for microwave, what is your favorite microwave meal/snack? Sweet potatoes are one thing that I’ve always preferred to microwave over cooking in the oven. It’s faster and yields a very similar (if not better) steamed tater. [The exception to this is if you are making fries out of them] There’s also the matter of oats. Although I prefer the stove top version (and always make them on the stove when I’m home), I do microwave oats when I bring them for work. It’s so simple, it’s hard to knock it. N is for… Read more >

Oh night shift, how you disrupt my sleep cycle. How’s that for a cluttered night stand?! The ear plugs are the latest addition to help with my daytime snoozing sitch. Ugh. Again, I slept minimally after noche dos of nursing. Side note: I’m always hesitant to use that word when talking about night shift because I get weird google search terms…sorry to all the moms nursing their newborns all night long searching the internet for nursing related advice…only to click on my blog and not find anything helpful. My packed food was perfection. I’m… Read more >

There are a few things I rarely crave, pasta being one of them and cheese being the other. As you can guess, I’m not a very big fan of Italian food. But chilled pasta salads are quintessential summer fare, and I’m all about welcoming June with open arms…and a vegan summer salad that is sure to please the masses. This dish was born out of my random desire to veganize a Caprese salad, which then got tweaked along the way, and morphed into a pasta dish with a Caesar salad twist. My mind works in… Read more >

A few months ago my parents went to this restaurant in Newport Beach. And when they told me about it, I was actually kinda jealous…until I found out a Santa Monica location was coming soon. Hooray! Kyle and I went to celebrate him being done with finals. One year down! Since the weather was gorgeous, we walked to Santa Monica Place. The menu has a variety of options, from vegan to meat courses. They even indicate which items are vegan, vegetarian, and gluten free to assist the diner. Also, the staff is super knowledgeable… Read more >
