A fabulous week has come to an end (next week watch for a Spring Break Adventure re-cap!) and I feel recharged and ready to finish out the school year. I got an order for more custom cookies – this time for a former student who is graduating college! It was so fun to make waterpolo … More TGIF- fun finds
I am always on the lookout for some good, original vegetarian food blogs and some amazing recipes. I find myself spending my lunch breaks (when I am not surrounded by teenagers!) randomly searching through the internet to see what fun, exciting things I can find. It’s calming to me…tell me I’m not the only one! … More Vegan(ish) Barbecue Bowls
I have heard of the Minimalist Baker for awhile. Vegan and vegetarian blog posts mention this website all of the time for new and innovative recipes. The other day, I had some time to finally look at the blog – and I was not disappointed. There were so many things that looked good to me, … More Crispy Peanut Tofu
Cheese enchiladas are a gift from the gods. I became obsessed with them when I was very young when my family would trek (probably weekly!) to the greatest hole-in-the-wall establishment in the Bay Area. Casa Lupe was run by a local family and had the greatest enchiladas of my life. I haven’t lived in the … More Homemade Enchiladas
I’ve never had zucchini as an adult. At least knowingly I haven’t. Zucchini was one of those veggies that my mom forced me to eat as a child and I’ve had a major aversion to it ever since. One goal with my new, cleaner eating lifestyle is to not tell myself that I don’t like … More Vegetable Pad Thai
When we went vegetarian, I spent the first couple of months looking for a weeknight “bagged” dinner that was easy, meat-free, and tasty. There are A LOT of products out there for vegetarians/vegans! Whole Foods can be overwhelming and there was a lot of trial and error at first. Then, I discovered Gardein products. This … More Gardein Products- a weeknight lifesaver
I hate feeling deprived- doesn’t everyone? I think that’s why dieting seems to never stick, because deprivation does not work for me. Nothing tastes as good as skinny…Yeah, no! I can tell you a million things that taste better than skinny, and pasta is one of them! Being vegetarian, pasta is a pretty big part … More Spaghetti (Squash)
Guys!!!!! Running on Veggies is the absolute best! You know how last week I was super stoked for the Crunchy Quinoa Stir Fry, and the super healthy, clean eating, vegan recipes this website has? Well, they did it again! I tried my second Running on Veggies recipe and it was just as good as the … More The HEALTHIEST Pesto Pasta
Just a little reminder – oatmeal does not have to taste terrible! Trying to cut out the extra calories and sugar is difficult – especially if you like food. Or love it. Like me. I needed a fast breakfast that would fuel me for a workout. I knew oatmeal was the logical choice but I … More Quick Breakfast – Oatmeal
I’m embarrassed to admit, but more nights than not lately I’ve felt pressed for time when it comes to dinner. I remember- years ago- when Greg would be blessed with a full three course dinner almost every night that had a perfect proportion of protein to meat to carbs. Yeah, life has gotten in the … More Easy Little Dinner
