Back to reality after a week in Florida and a long day of travel Saturday that ended late to get back home. We arrived at Orlando International Airport with enough time for lunch before catching the first flight. I scanned the restaurants in the terminal for decent vegan options, but was not impressed and ended […]
May I Be Frank Review
Hard to believe our week in Florida visiting family is nearly over, time has flown by! After lots of eating out, I kept it simple for dinner tonight with baked tofu, acorn squash, and a salad while the rest of the family had BBQ. I tossed the tofu chunks with BBQ sauce and baked at […]
Eating and Playing in Florida
Our week in Florida is going wonderfully, I’ve been enjoying spending time and catching up with family, going for warm morning runs, and eating out. Yesterday we went to Rusty’s Seafood & Oyster Bar on the water to enjoy a nice lunch in perfect weather. And snap pictures of the local wildlife of course. The […]
Hanging in Florida
So far our family visit to Florida has been relaxing and pleasant, I’ve been trying to run 3+ miles each morning in the warm weather here and taking in the local sights, like this group of egrets cruising through yards. And waterfront dining with views like this. Trust me, the views and happy hour margaritas […]
Light Travel Packing
After a long day in the air yesterday, we made it to Florida finally! It was a little sad leaving the Sac area on such a beautiful morning. But what a weather difference here. I’m actually wearing a tank top and saturated myself in sweat on a run this morning! Oh yeah, that’s what humidity […]
Creamy Spaghetti Squash & Dessert Balls
It’s WTF Thursday here because usually by Thursday I’m running low on fresh ingredients and have to improvise a meal using random items left in the fridge. This is an extra special one since we’re trying to empty the fridge for a trip and I’ve been going slightly mad surviving work and preparing for it […]
Simple Pate & Cheesy Quinoa
I am seriously bummed about this unfortunate news from Cafe Gratitude, just heart breaking! With great sadness we are announcing the upcoming closing/sale of all Northern California Café Gratitude’s. At least I got to experience the Berkeley location and Gracias Madre once and hope to get in more visits before the doors are closed. This […]
Keeping It Mellow
Ugh, how is it Sunday night already? I’m way too relaxed still to go back to work tomorrow because we spent our long weekend relaxing, catching up on house work, watching movies, shopping, and eating leftovers with a few runs and trips to the gym. The weather has been chilly, rainy and foggy, perfect fireplace […]
Oatmeal, Casserole, Peanut Butter Pie, and I Need a Run!
Happy Black Friday. So, who’s shopping today? Probably not me, unless I feel like a little crowd watching at the mall later today, we’ll see. I’m happy to get back to green smoothies and monster salads today after a day of splurging yesterday. This year’s Thanksgiving theme was enjoying vegan variations of cooked foods I […]
Hurry Tofu Curry
The weather is dreary, chilly and gray and my shopping trip to Whole Foods was test of patience to say the least. But I’m still giddy because tomorrow is Thanksgiving and I have 4 days in a row off! It’s gonna be a totally chill Thanksgiving for us with family splitting off in other directions […]
