Is it bad that I’ve been to Baagan twice this week – so far? Discovering a high-raw vegan casual dining gem near work might be a problem! Maybe not when lunch prices are comparable to Panera, but menu items much more me! I got a lovely massaged kale salad with almonds, pomegranate seeds, tomato, and […]
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 […]
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 […]
I Can Have Chocolate for Dinner
Because I’m an adult and having a stressful day week month, I can have chocolate for dinner, right? When I got home from work, my stomach was not so happy after a non-stop day. And I was craving chocolate, lots of chocolate. Since my last batch of energy balls are gone, I had to make […]
Mint Chocolate Energy Balls
Ah Monday, good thing it’s over! And after an emotionally draining weekend, it was nice to come home after work and annoy relax with some furry friends. But I’m still feeling the stress of the last few weeks being tired, tense, and a little achy. The physical effects of stress are amazing, and annoying. Even […]
Blueberry Pudding & Gardein
Saturdays are great, why can’t everyday be Saturday? Oh yeah, guess I kind of need to work. Rats. This morning I was craving something different from my usual smoothie for breakfast. So I threw together a quick chia seed pudding of: 1/2 cup chocolate almond milk 2 tbsp. chia seeds 1/3 cup frozen organic blueberries, […]
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 […]
Chia Drink & Spicy Soy Beans
Since the weather is so nice and I felt like splurging for lunch, I headed to Whole Foods to enjoy a salad outside. Because my job can be stressful, I like to sneak away from the office for lunch to a peaceful, more relaxing eating environment. Granted, that can be a mixed bag at Whole […]
Banana Chocolate Chia Seed Pudding
Good news, my kitchen is finally restocked! Well, I’m excited about that. Hubby and I braved the weird, rainy and cold weather to load up at Whole Foods today. $150 later, I should be good for a while. :-) And it’s been a wonderfully relaxing weekend so far, I slept in, had a lazy breakfast […]
Apple Cinnamon Chia Seed Pudding
What a wonderful weekend so far, we’ve accomplished a lot at home, relaxed, and got in a little shopping. Today I’ve been buzzing around the house, tackling laundry, and getting some play time in the kitchen. As much as I love my smoothies for a fast, well round breakfast on work mornings, I’ve been playing […]
