Two For Two

Oh yeah.  Look at me.  Doin’ another legit dinner. As mentioned, this week is Eat Real Dinners Week.  So far, I’m two for two.    This meal was a simple mix of brown rice, pineapple chunks, raw celery, raw carrots, baked tofu, beets, and a splash of pineapple juice to give it some moisture.  To [...]

Random Thoughts

Tonight, I sang “Pizza in the morning, pizza in the evening, pizza at suppertime. When pizza’s on a bagel, you can have pizza anytime!” while making myself a pizza bagel.  The Husband had no idea what I was talking about because he’s from England, and all of his childhood commercial memories are totally different.  Sad. [...]

Cozy Cave

Today is a short work day because it’s my mother-in-law’s birthday, and we are closing the clinic to have a fun family day.  However, I felt like it was my birthday this morning because the Hus made me breakfast in bed (a birthday tradition for us).  It was a nice surprise.  Whatta guy. On the [...]

I spy a BUMP!   I am trying really hard not to get too ahead of myself, but the entire pregnancy journey has been a whole lot of “I can’t wait for this… okay, now I can’t wait for that.”  First it was, “I can’t wait to get a Big Fat Positive.”  Then, it was [...]

Two and a half years ago, the Husband and I went fully vegetarian.  I try not to make my vegetarianism a ‘big deal’ on the blog because – to me – it’s simply the way I decide to eat.   Since it is relevant to the rest of the post, I’ll quickly sum up our motivations [...]

I love doing these weekly updates.  It makes it feel like time is moving very quickly.  Heh.     (I promise that wear shirts beyond tanks but I think it’s good for comparison's sake to repeat outfits.)   I feel like something definitely happened this week.  I’m up three pounds, none of my pants have [...]

Running in the Colors

Today is one of those chilly, gray, heavy Fall days.  I love it.  And it appears that – seemingly overnight – all the trees changed from green to mostly orange or yellow or red.  So many colors on the branches.  A warm breakfast for a cold morning:   Scrambled eggs Sautéed mushrooms Steamed broccoli All [...]

Shroomy Mashed Potatoes

I am very, very excited for the changing season.  Not because I love the cold (I don’t – brr!) but because I love the FOOD.  This post kicks off a returning series on Healthy Tipping Point – Vegetarian Thanksgiving.  And for the initial post, I’m doing a fun ‘giveaway’; see the end of the post!  [...]

What I Learned After 1,000 Days of Marriage

I can hardly believe it – where did my life go?! – but the Husband and I have been married for nearly 1,000 days (993 days if you’re counting, which I clearly am).  I don’t consider myself a relationship expert by any stretch of the imagination; however, we haven’t killed each other yet, so that [...]

Doing Less, Part II

Good morning! I’m having a mighty fine morning.  I slept well, rose early, and hammered out some work.  Wahoo!  (James wanted me to let you know that the winner of Maggie’s birthday giveaway is Mela!  Congrats!)   Breakfast included Panda Puffs, salty pumpkin seeds, blueberries, and blackberries.  I love all the competing sweet/salty flavors.  So, [...]

Cilantro Zest Quinoa Tofu

I love bridal showers.  The “oooing!” and the “ahhing!”  And making the ribbon bouquet for the rehearsal dinner, which I always volunteer to do!  Doesn’t Nicole make a beautiful bride-to-be?  And actually, she plans to carry her ribbon bouquet during the 10K we’re doing together on the morning of her bachelorette (in September)!   Her [...]

Morning!  This morning had a very slow start – not necessary a good thing.  It may be a Sunday, but I have a ton of work to do… Ugh.   Perfect Sunday breakfast, if you ask me! Scrambled eggs, toast, Moringstar sausages, orange, and berries.  Mmm. Actually, today’s breakfast got me thinking about Vegetarian-Fed Eggs.  [...]

For Your Reading Pleasure…

Can someone explain something to me? How come I proactively decided to give myself a break and take yesterday afternoon and evening off, sat on the porch and listened to music, read a book, got takeout, and felt oh-so-relaxed… but then those feelings simply do NOT transfer over to the next workday!?  It’s like I [...]

Egg-cellent Labeling

Ever since reading and viewing the Books, Movies, and Blogs That Changed the Way I Think About Food, I’ve come to care not just about what the food I eat does to my body, but where it comes from, too. One specific food that I really pay attention to the source of the product is [...]
