Who doesn’t love a nice organized to-do list? This past week was a little different because Kyle was out of town a few nights working. But he came home to sleep a little bit in between (night shifts). And he wanted me to pack all his food so he wouldn’t eat crap on the road. Hence the need for a very mapped out menu. I can’t stay organized without it all written out nowadays. My head is too full of other crap (like the tune to head shoulders knees and toes…make it go away!). Breakfast… Read more >

I didn’t know that April was soyfoods month until a week ago. That gives me another 15 days to celebrate. I like tofu, so easy peasy. Truthfully, the various food holidays kinda make me roll my eyes most of the time. There’s one (or more) every single day – like grilled cheese day, which was last week. But we get to honor soy all month long! Way better than smashing it into 24 hours. So while I usually avoid making recipes exclusively to showcase holidays (my blog is more “here’s what I ate” than “here’s… Read more >

Now that I’ve shared the big news, I can start talking about all the last minute things we’ve been up to as our LA residency comes to a close. On our drive back down to So Cal, Kyle and I created an LA bucket list. Unfortunately, we will not be able to hit up all the restaurants we wanted to. There’s too much food in our fridge/freezer (slash we need to save $$$) to justify going out to eat the way that we both want to. Which would have to be every night for… Read more >

This is a pseudo recipe because I didn’t measure things and you don’t need to either. Green Enchiladas [vegan] 6 tortillas (I used 365 whole wheat tortillas) green enchilada sauce (I used one of the frontera brand packets which was 8 oz of sauce) Filling: brown rice (~1.5 cups) corn (~1/4 cup) TVP (~1/4 cup, rehydrated with the same amount of liquid, either veg broth or water)* salsa (~1/4 cup) *You could swap black/pinto/refried beans for TVP. Combine filling ingredients. Stuff each tortilla, roll it up, and place it in a greased baking pan. … Read more >

Old post alert! This was written a few weeks ago, but somehow got lost & forgotten in the wordpress queue. Still figured I’d share… Scraps! Red lentils, broccoli stalk, carrots, celery, butternut squash soup (and unpictured TVP). Doesn’t look like much huh. Unless you have a crock pot and a bunch of spices. Oh really swan!?!?? Once again this is proof that crock pots love lentils and everything (even crappy messed up bread) tastes good when you make it in the slow cooker. Too bad crock pots don’t photograph nearly as well. I made this… Read more >
