I know I’m getting older when I just can’t get too excited about my birthday. I should and try to remind myself it’s a day about me, a day when I can have fun and do things for myself I wouldn’t normally do. But there’s still a side of me that doesn’t like making a […]
Cheesy Night
Usually I know what I want for dinner by the drive home from work, I’m already thinking and planning it. Sometimes I know what I want by 10 AM and have a recipe written to try if I got stuck on a long call. But it’s been such a strange and stressful week that I […]
Hemp Protein Socca
Pretty much any hemp product is a super food for me for all the good fats, fiber, complete protein, nutrients, and are so darn easy to work with compared to other seeds and nuts. Hemp seeds are one of my favorite recipe ingredients. But hemp protein powder is another staple in my kitchen and currently […]
Spicy Veggie-Packed Quinoa
Friday Dr. T. Colin Campbell of Forks Over Knives was interviewed by Bill Maher and here it is if you have 8 minutes to spare. Come on Bill, if I can afford to shop at Whole Foods, anyone can! Just avoid the pricey healthy alternatives to processed foods and stick mainly to the produce department […]
Tempeh Pizza Crust
Awhile back my sister pointed me to a recipe online that used tempeh as a pizza crust, then I forgot about it and couldn’t find the recipe again when I thought of it. Don’t you hate that? So I decided to create my own version for dinner tonight. I used the Lightlife Soy Tempeh because […]
Purple Smoothie & Green Hummus
I was temped to have a fun weekend breakfast this morning like Banana Chocolate Chia Seed Pudding, but opted for my old faithful smoothie since I had a morning run planned. By fresh produce supply was still pathetically low, this is what I came up with for smoothie ingredients – Pea Protein, Vitamineral Green, sprouted […]
Instagramming
Sorry, but photos provided by my iPhone and point-and-shoot camera for this post. It was that kind of day week, a mind-frying one at work. I do have a new addiction – the Instagram app for the iPhone. It’s a simple app that lets you take picture with the iPhone’s camera, apply one of the […]
It’s WTF Thursday!
I’m pretty protective of my cats keeping them indoors since there are a lot of dangers around here like foxes, rattle snacks, black widows, neighbors that can’t drive, and large, psycho dogs. So they take what little excitement they can get from the outdoors. This morning it was having a meowing standoff with a neighbor’s […]
Creamy Tomato Basil Sauce
I don’t think there are work appropriate words to describe my mood when a co-worker software engineer called me at 12:45 AM this morning to update me on server status because he forgot to call me at, oh, A REASONABLE HOUR! I guess he forgets that not everyone can run on 3 hours of sleep […]
All About Timing
The theme for tonight’s dinner is light and simple since it’s a running night. Last week I went on a potato buying binge grabbing a few different types that looked appealing to me. Problem is I haven’t been using them fast enough and grabbed two for tonight’s dinner, a Peruvian Purple Potato and sweet potato […]
