I had a sad thing happen, I cut open a giant spaghetti squash for dinner, but found the insides rotten. Such a waste, I hate that! Oh well, have to try another raw soup tonight. I decided to try one using up one of the red peppers sitting in my fridge and ended up modifying […]
Cucumber Soup
I did it, substituted the banana in my smoothie this morning for a carrot and it did not taste that much different. It was not as sweet and thicker, but still had a nice berry flavor thanks to the blueberries and raspberries. Encouraging and something I’ll probably be doing from now on, keeping the bananas […]
Curry Pumpkin Soup
I’m looking at piles of loose papers on my desk and hampers full on laundry thinking I really should get to that today, I don’t want my house to look like the one I’m watching on BBC America’s Clean House which is much scarier than the US version! Gotta love a show that will show […]
Raw Banana Nut Ice Cream
TGIF! Another busy week down and I’m feeling pretty good after 5 straight days of spinach-loaded smoothie breakfasts, it’s amazing how satisfying a smoothie is for breakfast, making it to lunch has not been a problem. Also, energy has been plentiful this week with only one cup of coffee in the morning instead of my […]
Raw Tomato Basil Soup
Happy Raw Wednesday! I was planning a trip to Apple Hill today with family, but that did not happen thanks to a change in plans. I was bummed because I got today off work to go, trying to go on a weekend this time of year is just insane. But, it apparently was not meant […]
Cashew Dip & Spinach Apple Soup
I’m having a lazy, but productive Saturday while still recovering from chasing very active toddlers loaded with sugar and pizza and cramming myself into kiddie rides last night. Also spending time in the kitchen today to try new recipes. I got in a little shopping Costco, but found the Vita-Mix demonstration and special is over […]
Food Safety & Butternut Soup
This is a scary story … granted, the spinach ecol i was pretty nasty too. It reminded me that I still want to see Food, Inc. but have been putting it off. I know it’s a great, informative movie, but not sure I’m ready for all the bad news in it especially where there’s not […]
Stress Management
The gloomy weather continues today as a storm front passes over with 55+ MPH winds making a mess of my backyard. I thought simply leaving the patio umbrella down last night would be fine, but the wind managed to open it and drag it and the table across the backyard and into the planter beds. […]
Broccoli Soup
Yuck, today is gray, cold and rainy, a preview to our typical winters here and a perfect evening for steaming chili from the slow cooker … oh wait :-) How did it become Monday so quickly? I did get some relax time in this weekend and tried Wii Fit – apparently I really need to […]
Veggie Burger and Pumpkin Soup
I like to eat out – not a lot as I try to save money – but there are just too many good new taste adventures around here and VeganMOFO is a great way to sample vegan options served. We stopped by The Counter this weekend after seeing Zombieland (highly recommend!) because I wanted to […]
