Vegan Mac & Cheese with Chard

February 1, 2010

After a whirlwind business trip to New York  followed by a company offsite in Napa, I was in desperate need of relaxation and of course good food.  :)
Since my bestest friend Tasha who also happens to be a bad ass blogger is moving to Portland in a week, we decided to spend the weekend doing [...]

Taco Bell Drive Thru Diet - Yikes!

January 18, 2010

A friend of mine sent me this video - the Taco Bell Drive Thru Diet - and all I can say is, seriously? This is just insanity to me. You do NOT lose weight from going through the drive thru every day. Learn to cook, exercise, eat real food — not freaking Taco Bell burritos [...]

My Morning Blend

January 8, 2010

It has been an exciting week - we not only kicked off 2010, but it was week one of GranolaFit Bootcamp - meaning the whole enchilada (a healthy vegetarian enchilada, of course) combining both the exercise and also the nutrition. Wooo freaking hooo! Everyone do a celebratory cartwheel and then get down and give me [...]

I Still Love You the Most

January 7, 2010

Of all the things I have made in my Blendtec over the past week, I heart my homemade peanut butter the most. So much so that I went to Whole Foods and bought 2.5 lbs of organic roasted peanuts. Farewell Food Mill and HELLLLO homemade peanut butter.

Once I master the art of pb, I think [...]

Kale Tacos

January 6, 2010

Forget lettuce wraps, I’m totally obsessed with kale. But lately, I’ve kind of overdone the traditional asian style kale wraps and decided to try something a little bit different….something I call Kale Tacos….delicious and simple.

Just wrap some kale around some Amy’s refried black beans, quinoa, avocado, and some yummy homemade salsa (thank you Blendtec!!).

The Holidays are OVER — Hooray!

January 4, 2010

Yikes, I can’t even believe I’m saying this and maybe I shouldn’t. But here goes, I am REALLY glad the holidays are over!  I’m actually happy to be back home, in my own bed, on my own schedule, and cooking my own food. Well, with one exception — the AMAZING creamy cauliflower soup I made for [...]

Let the Baking Begin!

December 18, 2009

I’m never really sure why I bake during the holidays. There are already so many sweets, cookies, cakes, and breads lying around my office tempting me to eat them.  But, tis the season, I guess.
I got this recipe for Ginger Twist Gingerbread (say that five times fast standing on your head) from Mighty Leaf Tea [...]

Miso Shirataki Noodle Soup with Oyster Mushrooms

December 7, 2009

This weekend was especially busy with holiday parties, 20 mile runs and a much needed apartment clean up.  By Sunday evening, I was pooped and ready for a good hot meal and some zoning out in front of the TV.
Since we had no food in the house, we decided to make a trip to our [...]

No Leftovers Found Here

December 4, 2009

While some of you were probably eating Thanksgiving leftovers all last weekend (and maybe even still this week), Bryan and I were driving up  101 and enjoying a meal at Santa Barbara’s The Natural Cafe.  What can I say, we’re a couple of dirty vegetable eating crazies.
Our first course consisted of some local red Santa [...]
