Happy Friday! What better way to kick off a glorious fall Friday morning than with a fall flavored breakfast panino? Such a fast meal to throw together. I combined a whole grain baguette with the last of my husband’s peanut butter (officially out of nut butters in the house!), half a pear, pumpkin puree, a…

Three Ingredient Dinner
Tonight’s dinner is a perfect example of an easy vegan meal. In fact, I would like to make a suggestion: if you have ever thought about making a vegan meal, try this. “Spaghetti and Meat Sauce” – vegan and vegetable-lover style. Three Ingredient Dinner: spaghetti squash jar of tomato sauce package of tempeh Three steps:…
Lessons Learned
I learned today that the little spoonful of almond butter in my pumpkin oats makes a big difference in me feeling fuller longer! Gotta love healthy fats and protein. I was hungry much sooner than usual today. I learned today that when grocery shopping I must remember that I love vegetables and I need to…
She-Wolverine
I had pumpkin oats again this morning. I used to be a cereal addict every day, but now I’ve found something comforting in the routine of making oats on the stove top. Especially pumpkin oats. There’s something about the spicy, warm, comforting pumpkin oats just can’t be beat. Actually this particular batch of oats could…
All for One and One for All
Today’s beautiful day just kept right on going! I somehow managed to pass out this afternoon for a beautiful nap (although the hair wasn’t so beautiful when I woke up, but no one was around to see ). Then tonight I went on a beautiful jog! I actually started out by heading to the gym,…
Beautiful Days
Today is such a beautiful day and I am absolutely bursting with positive energy. What better to go with a beautiful day than a beautiful SIAB? (Smoothie in a Bowl, ala Kath‘s terminology). This beautiful bowl contained frozen mango, vanilla rice milk, spinach, ice, chocolate brown rice protein powder and a splash of unsweetened iced…
A Local Runner’s Tragic Story
I ask you all to join me in a moment of silence. A dear friend has departed from my life. Yes, it’s true. My very last jar of Trader Joe’s Raw, Creamy, Unsalted Almond Butter is gone. Depleted from my life. [insert dramatic wail here]. Seriously – this stuff is good and I’d petition for…
Mission (Im)Possible
Hey friends! I went on a top secret mission impossible tonight. Well not really impossible, but that just sounds exciting. While we were out on the road Ross and I picked up some Subway. Even though I did a B.Y.O.A. (bring your own avocado) it was still way mediocre. Honey wheat bread, spinach, black olives,…
Good Mood Blogger
This morning flew by! Several exciting opportunities ahead, one of which you’ll read about below! Lunch was delicious, but photographed with my point-and-shoot. I love you all, but when it came down to eating my hot lunch right away or waiting to let the Nikon’s battery charge…well, we know how this story ends. I sauteed…
Cookies for Breakfast?
Last night my husband decided to stir up some trouble in the kitchen. He tested out the vegan chocolate chip cookie recipe that I’m working on and I have to say, he was hilarious the whole time. Ross was in there smack talking Betty Crocker, saying she had nothin’ on him. I couldn’t not laugh…
