Storing Spring Produce

on Jun 19, 2013
I never like to waste anything.  I feel really proud of myself when I can use every part of a fruit or veggie, and love when I use everything I buy.  Like how I was recently eating a mandarin orange, and felt bad just throwing the peel away so I

Grilled Vegan Hawaiian Salad

If I could have a free trip to anywhere in the world, right now I would totally pick Hawaii. I have been obsessed with going there for as long as I can remember, and who could blame me?  Tropical climates, pineapples everywhere, beautiful ocean, ukuleles!!  Sometimes when I am feeling

Yesterday was a good day for me. Though it wasn’t taco Tuesday with a movie, I did have tacos and see a movie.  Which were delicious and amazing respectively. I spent the afternoon not doing work, and instead planning our next trip to Disney, which makes me giddy with excitement. I also got to crack

One of my favorite parts of summer is veggie burgers.  I know its summer when I feel tempted to either grill everything, or eat everything raw.  (I tend to go on raw food kicks in the nice weather, it’s a wonderful time because dinner is chop chop and done) I have been trying to perfect

I hope you all had a wonderful weekend, and that you Mothers had an amazing Mother’s Day!! The weather yesterday was gorgeous, but boy are allergies kicking in for everyone this year.  Almost everyone I know is showing symptoms of seasonal allergies.  I think vitamin C is miraculous stuff, and recently I also learned vitamin

Stocking a Healthy Pantry

After an awesome response on Facebook about doing a pantry post (you rock btw) I raided my pantry to see what I thought I couldn’t live without.  I tried to keep it to staples for fast & easy cooking, and for someone starting out on a vegetarian/vegan/healthy food lifestyle.  What I know for sure is

This is one of my favorite lazy day dinners.  I always keep jars of tomato sauce in the pantry, and kale in the freezer.  So I can whip this up almost any day, even if I haven’t been to the food store in a while.  And it’s ready in no time.  If I have mozzarella,

Taco Tuesday is one of my favorite things.  First of all, what is better then knowing what you are eating for dinner without having to go through the whole “what do you feel like” routine?  And also, tacos are delicious. I was psyched about these because they ended up looking really pretty, and tasted even

Gluten Free Banana Bread

Gluten free baking can be really tricky.  It’s tough to get the right texture, and not use a ton of weird ingredients.  When I took the first bite of this one, I was doing a happy dance. This week has been a little tough, and nothing quite says comfort like banana bread.  Something about it

With the weather firmly standing in Spring territory lately (we hit 70 this weekend!), things are starting to bloom and green.  If you have done or are doing a CSA, you may be getting a ton of greens at this time.  Or you may have that in store for you in the coming weeks. After

When Hubby and I were first dating, this sauce was one of the only things he cooked.  At that point, he hadn’t done much cooking, yet somehow everything he made was incredible.  This included.  So not only is this a super tasty recipe, it is one I love just because it reminds me of those

One of my favorite healthy snacks?  Hummus and veggies.  I love serving it at parties, because it’s delicious, easy and healthy.  I love packing it on vacation (where we will have a fridge).  I even just found out that my favorite vacation spot (Disney!!!) offers veggies and hummus as an option these days.  I am

When I started this blog, I didn’t know what I was doing.  I didn’t really read blogs, and I thought I would make dinner for myself and hubby, take a picture of it with a nice camera (that we invested in for our wedding) and post it up.  I didn’t really write anything, and had
