Three Sisters

One, two, three. We’re a special bunch. Really. At least that’s what our parents tell us. We clearly hate each other. And hate taking photos together. Aside from our narcissism and eye color, we have some other things in common, too…such as our love for good food. This is good food. So is this. This is good food in a mug. This is good food with granola, pumpkin puree, and raw oats. This is good food with chopped apples. This is good food made into a trail mix style snack with more cereal, raisins, granola,… Read more >

Hungry Hungry Kyle

Kyle is too lazy to type up a guest post.  But ask beg and you shall receive…   Here’s a recap of his evening in the kitchen, hippie-style.  So without further ado… Candle Cafe’s Seitan Skewers with Chimichurri Citrus-Herb Sauce I found two recipes online and combined them for the marinade with the following proportions: 1 cup fresh orange juice 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice (thank you bumper crop!) 1/4 cup fresh lime juice ½ cup olive oil 1 garlic clove, minced 2 ½ tbsp vegan sugar 3/4 cup chopped parsley 1 cup chopped cilantro 1… Read more >

Orange you glad…

You didn’t work on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day?  I didn’t really mind it, since I got to celebrate early with my family.  On the 24th, I woke up early to sweat out a quick 20 minute Shred, which I followed up with a hearty tupperware full of overnight oats. I used 1/2 cup rolled oats and then mixed in an almost equal portion of canned pumpkin with only an itty bit of water.  This created a crazy thick consistency as it “gelled” overnight.  Other goodies included Tropical Traditions shredded coconut, dried cherries, and NuNatural liquid… Read more >

Food was here

Santa was here.   Mia was here. And here. [Ewww] Elise was here.   🙂 I know these TJ’s pita chips are called “reduced guilt” but when you eat multiple servings in a row, I think that idea is null and void.  Not that I ever really bought into the association of food with guilt.  These are a treat for me because I’m way too cheap to buy them myself (eating a family sized bag in one sitting is not economically sound, even if you’re Donald Trump).  My parents, on the other hand, have their… Read more >
