I’m getting spoiled by all these 3-day weekends lately, not a bad thing at all! But I need it after this work week, lots going on with projects and things picking up again after the holidays. I managed to weasel out of overtime this weekend when another guy in our group expressed interest in the […]
Spicy Tempeh Filling
I still have not caught the stomach flu that’s everywhere, but the co-worker next to me did this week, ack! And it’s not pleasant, one guy was out of work for a week with it! So I’m still on high paranoia alert disinfecting regularly and sterilizing my cube at work about every 10 minutes. I’ve […]
WIAW with Tempeh Pate
Congrats to WIAW turning 50 posts old! And congrats to me for remembering to snap everything today to participate! Breakfast: My usual week morning smoothie with kale, carrots, frozen berries, frozen banana, Vitamineral Green, and Raw Protein. Followed by mid-morning tea at my desk. Lunch: Leftover balsamic spinach wrap from last night and a giant […]
Orange Ginger Stir Fry
So glad Friday is almost here because I’m dragging and managed to sleep in 15 minutes past my alarm this morning then scrambling to get out the door on time, not like me! Feeling a little achy and tired this week has not helped, I’m in full germaphobe mode with so many sick at work […]
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 […]
Hemp Mustard Dressing
In talking to my mom and sister today, I noticed we vented continuously about feeling stressed, crunched for time, strung out, etc. My mind raced as I listened to all their stresses and tallied my own. That’s been the trend for me this week settling back into a busy schedule at work, catching up with […]
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 […]
Keeping it Simple While Under the Weather
Friday night I got a nasty surprise, I started feeling awful – tired and achy with a pounding headache. By Saturday morning, I was parked on the couch nursing a full on migraine, feeling nauseous and feverish, and cursing my luck for getting sick on a weekend. I should have seen this coming since there […]
Protein Quinoa & Hempy Cheesy Sauce
Wasn’t the moon this morning gorgeous? Even though I was running slightly late for work, I still had to step out in the backyard in the cold and dark to try and snap it with my macro lens and got some okay shots. But my night time photography skills still need a lot of work. […]
