simple pleasures

Things that make me happy:

The Pear Cin­na­mon Cider from Trader Joe’s is off-the-hook amaz­ing. I’m afraid it will dis­ap­pear right after the hol­i­days, as many of the good­ies they have this time of year do, so I’ve stock­piled sev­eral con­tain­ers of it. SO FREAKING GOOD.

What makes it bet­ter? Drink­ing it with […]

dinner with my ladies

On November 4, 2009 By

Cold weather inspires com­fort food. Given that my poorly adapted Port­land body has been head­ing to work in 40 degree weather, com­fort­ing meals have been calling me.

Behold the clas­sic soup and sammie combo:

Tomato soup with a panini-pressed sand­wich. The sand­wich is on Dave’s bread with one side smeared with a gar­licky bean spread and […]

yikes…

On June 10, 2009 By

So, I’ve had some stuff in my per­sonal life side­track­ing me from blog­ging, so excuse my absence. Things will be back to normal soon.

In the mean­time… reminder:

The Port­land con­tri­bu­tion to the World­wide Vegan Bake Sale is in less than 2 week, on June 20th, at People’s, so please come and eat some […]

dinner in a flash

On May 18, 2009 By

Okay, so I promise no posts with straw­ber­ries for awhile.

We are gath­ered here today to cel­e­brate the quick meal. The effort­less menu you can lean on after a long day at work. The din­ner you can throw together in a flash, espe­cially if you’ve planned and have some choice ingre­di­ents ready to go. […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]
