My new year started out with us manically catching up on house work and taking down Christmas decorations before heading over to my sister’s house for a casual dinner and gaming/hangout night. Our Christmas tree was so dry that chunks of it were falling off while we were taking the lights off and hubby had […]
Baagan & Local Tofu
Sometimes I can be an idiot, like not knowing there’s another fabulous high-raw vegan restaurant in the area until over a year after it opens! Really! My sister came across Baagan while she was looking into local places to eat and emailed me about it last week. Thanks sis! Today my mom and I finally […]
2011 Holiday Gift Guide
Better late than never on a gift guide, right? Below is a list of goodies I’ve been enjoying this year that maybe a tricky friend of family member can enjoy too. Kiva Gift Card – Kiva is a non-profit organization that offers micro-loans to people around the world to start a business. Recipients of a […]
Cheesy Tempeh Bacon Salad
I consider myself lucky for not being addicted to bacon, it’s something I missed the least during my vegan transition. But it seems to be like crack for some, including my fast food-loving boss who’s trying a plant based diet this week after seeing Forks Over Knives and grilling me with questions about it. But […]
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 […]
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 […]
Vega Performance Protein
I’m thrilled the weekend is finally here, it wasn’t an easy week. Hubby was gone on a business trip all week while I was home alone breaking in and training our new chihuahua, on call for work, and having another busy week at work! Last night after work, I ran to Whole Foods to pick […]
Kale & A New Cutting Board
I had an upsetting vegan experience at work yesterday. For the last 2 months, we’ve been working in overdrive at work for a new project start up and the department responsible threw an appreciation luncheon for everyone that worked hard on it. I knew Chinese food was going to be served, so I didn’t worry […]
New Vega Product & Mystery Squash
I’m so relieved the long weekend is here and today was a wonderfully relaxing day. Except for my 8-mile run this morning in the heat. Since I’m on a month countdown until another half marathon, I ordered a new flavor of Vega Complete Whole Food Health Optimizer to assist with my training – berry flavor. […]
New Spiral Slicer & Tempeh Marinara
I know things are too crazy when I don’t have the time or energy to play with a new toy. That’s just a crime! Hubby got me Helen’s Asian Kitchen Spiral Slicer for our anniversary and I’m finally getting around to playing with it nearly 2 weeks later. I also have the World Cuisine spiral […]
