Monday is almost over, whew! And happy Earth Day! Doing anything special to celebrate? Not me … besides being a vegan, driving an electric car, and composting. :-) Composting is an interesting adventure that can be messy and take up a lot of space, but LifeHacker posted a super easy method to create instant compost […]
Eating Through Chaos
So happy the weekend is finally here, it’s been a strange, sad, and stressful week. I’ve been feeling exhausted this week with work being so busy and all the bad news I think, just feeling worn out and really looking forward to some down time. I felt the need to treat myself this morning with […]
Saturday List
Today was a wonderfully calm day, perfect after a busy week. We had no specific plans, just went with it. Some of the highlights: 1. I finished watching Hungry For Change, an interesting documentary about the effects of processed food and chemicals on our health. Overall it was a good documentary with lots of information […]
Long Weekend Love
It is so nice to have today off work. While it’s been a great weekend, it’s also been packed with activities, so I’m thankful to have today to catch up on house stuff and get in a long run. I finished watching another documentary on Netflix, Happy, and really enjoyed it. It takes a look […]
Field Roast Stir Fry
It’s Friday Eve and that’s all right with me, especially in front of a 3 day weekend. It’s been a busy week and I’ve been in my usual rut of a smoothie for breakfast and packed salad for lunch. With a splurge lunch run to Baagan for a huge kale citrus salad with hubby today. […]
Sunday Soup and Salad
Here we are at Sunday again, this weekend really flew! Looking forward to a productive and good week – yeah, that’s it. And I have a new reason to look forward to Sunday nights with a new show on the Cooking Channel, How to Live to 100 with Jason Wrobel, a high-raw vegan chef with […]
Fast Curry Seitan Meal
Today we had our first real storm of the season, happy Monday to us! It’s strange that it goes for months here over the summer without a drop, actually it’s nice not worrying about rain. But in the winter we can get days, even weeks, of non stop rain to make up for the dry […]
Spicy Seitan and Carrot Ginger Soup
I’m sort of into seitan now because it’s as versatile and easy to prepare as tempeh while packing a lot protein – more than many meat products. I was pretty excited when I found a new seitan flavor to try this weekend from Sweet Earth Natural Foods. Why have I never tried any of their […]
New Seitan & New Toy
This has been a week already! Partway through the day at work yesterday, I started feeling awful with a migraine, nausea, aches, and no energy. When I got home, I found I had a fever and ended up parked on the couch most of the evening. I felt better enough to get back to work […]
New Purse and Squash Hash
I am rough on purses and shoes, I seem to go through a lot of them with my job and running around like a crazy person sometimes. And finding good vegan-friendly options to replace them isn’t always easy since I don’t like spending a lot of money on something with will probably be taking a […]
