Since I previously posted this week’s prep and my game plan, I figured I might go into the specifics for a few of the meals that I mentioned. And show how the rest of the week turned out in terms of the schedule. Monday As planned, I made Emily’s miso sweet potatoes (which we had with vegan chili) for dinner. As part of the pre-week prep, I had roasted 4 huge sweet potatoes, which was more than enough for the two of us. Needless to say, we had a ton of leftovers for the rest… Read more >

Last weekend we went to Veggie Grill for takeout. You get a free entree for your birthday and since you have until the end of the month to use it, I was almost out of time! I decided to try something new (I figured since it was free I should order something that I wouldn’t ordinarily get). I hate to say it but I may have OD-ed on the All Hail Kale Salad. I didn’t feel like a salad, but I didn’t want a sandwich or burger either (I wasn’t gonna do the wheat thing,… Read more >

I’ll admit it, I’m a carb lover. I don’t think this is a bad thing at all. Brown rice, oats, quinoa, sweet potatoes, whole wheat, etc. – I think they are all part of a healthy, well balanced diet. So are fruits and vegetables. It’s hard to imagine a low-carb plant-based diet. How would that work exactly? Well, that’s the exact dilemma I was faced with last week (after failing my first GTT). While I was waiting to take my second GTT, I tried reducing my carb and sugar intake to see how it might… Read more >

Since I returned to eating eggs…a while ago…I no longer consider myself vegan. I’m basically a dairy free vegetarian. But that doesn’t mean I don’t like vegan food. I love it actually. I eat it often. And seeing as October was vegan mofo, I decided to recap some of my daily vegan eats. October 1: Spaghetti Squash with Marinara & Tofurky October 2: Quinoa & Seitan with Red Almond Sauce October 3: Mexican Layered Casserole October 4: Blue Plate’s vegan white bean soup and gardenburger salad October 5: Pumpkin Cheesecake Pie October… Read more >

This product right here was reason enough for me to go against my usual standards and indulge in non-organic greek yogurt. I only bought two, proving that self restraint does in fact exist within me. It’s tangy, tart, and only slightly sweet with hints of ginger and orange. I loved it. Had Kyle not been shopping with me, we’d probably have 500 in our fridge right now. I wonder how long they’ll have these seasonal treats in stock? Runner up in the pumpkin department goes to this coffee blend. Still obsessed. Next item on… Read more >
