8/15 Happy Meatless Monday, Mediterranean Rolls

I have found that I am most successful at integrating lifestyle changes when I take it one step at a time. Sometimes easing into things helps me feel more successful and encourages me to continue trying. Many times I have been temporarily inspired by desire but then unable or unwilling to sustain my new habit. […]

8/8 Sprouted & Curried Yellow Peas

Happy Meatless Monday. Since becoming vegan I have found that making a weekly trip to my local bulk food store is really worth it.

Because I began stock piling melon,  I also decided to create a Watermelon Gazpacho. I have a borderline addiction to watermelon and I crave chilled soups. This Gazpacho is so flavorful and […]

7/2 Napa Salad w/Nectarines & Chili Tofu Croutons

Last night we waited as long as we could but we finally had to rock out our run in the heat of a perfect Summer evening. The sun was going down but I still felt like Mr. Heatmiser in Asics. When we finished the run, stretching, walking the dogs (because we were already hot and […]

7/1 Happy July-Pad Thai Salad

My favorite part about Pad Thai is all of the extras on top. The crushed peanuts the crispy fresh bean sprouts, cilantro and the lemon wedges. I thought it would be fun to cut out the middleman on this dish (noodles) and just go for it. For that I needed some exquisite and inexpensive bean sprouts, so […]

6/25 Pizza Scape

I couldn’t help myself, when I saw more garlic scapes at the farmers market I snatched them up like a mugger. The farmer warned me with an audible sadness that these were the last of the season…enjoy them. We did just that. If you can find them in your farmers market, give this pizza recipe […]
