OH. EM. GEEEEEEE. Ok, I know it’s kinda weird to get SO excited over a casserole, but this was crazy good. And simple! My mom went grocery shopping for us while we were in the hospital and she bought us tofurky’s chorizo crumbles, which I’d never tried before. I’m skeptical of faux meat products. I have my faves (like Field Roast), and I have my avoids (like smart pups), so this one remained to be determined… It’s soy based (non GMO) using soy flour and canola oil, with not much else aside from seasonings. Not… Read more >

This past weekend was the first time in a couple of years that I skipped Expo West. I had a ticket and everything, but I just didn’t see the point in trying to make it work. I guess this is evidence that my priorities have shifted. I like free samples and keeping on pulse with the latest natural food trends, but I like family bonding time more. Lucky for me, my in-laws were there to scout out the scene in my absence. They reported back and then some…with tons of samples for me to review. … Read more >

It’s hard to write about food…all I want to do is chat brag about my baby boy. He’s perfect. So don’t be surprised if this blog veers a little in the family/baby direction. But for now, I’m here with food stuff. Even more than before, I need super fast meals. Preferably healthy ones that can be made one handed. I’ve basically been relying on the rice cooker and crock pot, per usual. [You can see this post for my go-to quick & easy week night meals] Love me a brown rice stir fry. … Read more >

I have the coolest friends. Ever since we started budgeting my besties have been awesome about making dinners together (as opposed to expensive meals out). Last Friday we made vegan tortilla soup with Ethel. And this past Friday Alene came over with some groceries for this feast… We started out with appetizers. Alene fell prey to the delightfulness of Whole Foods and impulse bought some chips, guacamole, and pico de gallo. Obviously I didn’t partake in the vino. It was kinda drizzly weather outside but Kyle still manned the BBQ. Tofurky kielbasa… Read more >

Kyle’s coworkers tease him (in a fun, non-mean way) about his healthy vegetarian lunches. Apparently he’s the organic, non GMO hippie of his office, just like I am in mine. 🙂 Now his colleagues are wondering when I’m going to start packing food for all of them. Which I’m considering a victory for veggies everywhere. Thanksgiving leftovers on quinoa. Oatmeal & snacks. Spaghetti. Crock-pot potato chowder (recipe coming). Pita SB&J with organic Swanson sunbutter and home-made pluot plum jam. 18 Rabbits gracious granola packet with organic vanilla greek yogurt. Scrambled mish… Read more >
