Stuff it

Vegan. Gluten free. Mega nutrients.  And deeeeelicious. Stuffed Sweet Potatoes [vegan, gluten free] Ingredients: 2 sweet potatoes 1/4 block (~4 oz.) firm tofu 1/4 cup hummus (I used Sabra’s spinach & artichoke) 1/4 cup chopped greens (I used frozen chopped collards) 1 carrot, shredded salt & pepper (to taste) Directions: Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees.

Please help my pathetic rolls

That thing up there.  That’s home-made sushi. Yeah.  I know.  [The fact that I had to explain what a food photo is…speaks volumes…right?] I’m really not sure what I’m worse at – rolling or slicing.  But it was bad guys.  Really bad.  I welcome all comments that can assist in future sushi making.  Clearly skimming the pamphlet that came with the sushi mat (back when I got it four years ago) wasn’t enough. For filling ingredients we went kinda untraditional. This was a tofu spread that I made with extra firm tofu, tahini, and soy… Read more >

How to get CHO self to the store

A day after we returned home from Nor Cal, this huge box arrived from Chobani!  CHO ho ho!  It’s like a never ending holiday season. 🙂 It was kinda the divine intervention needed to get my butt in gear, since we were still in the planning stages of weekly meals (aka we hadn’t yet been to the grocery store after a week out of town).   Truth be told, I was not in the mood to cook or to go shopping for food or to plan out the weekly menu, but the fridge was in… Read more >

Home for the Holidays Two-a-day

12/19/12 “There’s no place like home for the holidays.” So I decided while I was home to limit my time behind the lens and just soak everything up.  Family.  Friends.  The Christmas spirit.  All that stuff. Of course I still love blogging and I treat this space like a journal of sorts, so I don’t want to completely disappear because I love looking back on old posts to remember what was going on during that time of my life. So I decided to challenge myself to post just two photos a day. Feel free to… Read more >

Old to new

You all know I’m frugal.  And that I like re-working leftovers.  This is not news. So when Alene & Ethel sent me home with extras from the shower, I was really excited to transform them into new dishes not have to cook for a while. Orzo salad with sun dried tomatoes. Quinoa with edamame, kale, and tomatoes. Both of these dishes made their way into the weekly dinner plan immediately. Since the orzo salad had an Italian/Mediterranean flavor profile going on already, I just added to it.   Cubed some (drained, uncooked, firm) organic tofu… Read more >
