There is food being cooked! I haven’t had much to post lately because, frankly, we’ve been eat­ing ter­ri­bly bor­ing food. But I’ve been try­ing to mix it up a lit­tle bit, plus bring back some classics.

Ooh, sur­prise, sur­prise, quinoa! I never could have guessed! Well, I never said it would be thrilling. I […]

i spoke too soon

On April 6, 2009 By

Appar­ently my friend Joe heard that I had fallen off of the choco­late wagon and came to my rescue.

I swear, Trader Joe’s just keeps rolling out more vegan good­ness. It’s like a new, animal-free sur­prise every time I shop. The treat this week, dark choco­late mint “UFOs”.

They are basi­cally hugely over­sized chocolate […]

chocolate fail

On April 3, 2009 By

So… of all of the New Year’s res­o­lu­tions that I made, which one am I fail­ing at? Believe it or not, it’s the choco­late one! I can’t believe it, who would have thought that I would fail at that? It’s chocolate!

dinner and a workout

On March 15, 2009 By

My beloved Trader Joe’s has added some more vegan good­ies to their store and I am here to share them with you. I swear to my cats that I am not paid by them, because that would be my dream job, rather I am a fanat­i­cal shop­per who you have the for­tune or mis­for­tune of […]

It feels good to detox a lit­tle. It feels great, actually.

A lit­tle bit of back­ground, to explain why we are doing the lower carb diet right now. Partly, it’s to detox after months of hav­ing cook­ies, cakes, pies, etc in the house non-stop. Sure, it’s been fun, but it’s also made for many […]

Mmmm… break­fast. Have I men­tioned how much I love break­fast yet?

Thanks to the waf­fle cart in North Port­land, Flavour Spot, I fell in love with maple but­ter and veg­gie sausage waf­fle sand­wiches a few years ago. But I’m too lazy to make waf­fles, so we sling pan­cakes on the grid­dle and call […]

goodness in a bowl

On February 26, 2009 By

Some of the best things in life come in bowls. Ice cream, cereal, pud­ding, all good things indeed. But whole­some meals can come in bowls, too.

Like pesto pasta:

Sure, you don’t have to eat pasta in a bowl… but I think it’s tastes bet­ter this way. This pasta is whole wheat penne from, where […]

breakie and kitteh

On February 23, 2009 By

Break­fast is my favorite meal. Pan­cakes, yogurt, cereal hot or cold, fresh fruit, hot tea, toast with Earth Bal­ance and jam, hash browns, the list goes on and on. But there are a cou­ple of things that I par­tic­u­larly love, the kind of break­fast foods that I lit­er­ally dream about. The main one is a […]
