Jim Lahey’s Stecca Bread
I mentioned in my last post that we love great bread at our picnics. Sometimes we just tear it up and eat it in chunks with cheese and fruit and sometimes we’ll do sandwiches. For some reason, great bread just makes a picnic more memorable (and obviously more delicious). This recipe is a perfect picnic […]
Swiss Chard Dumplings in Chive Broth
It’s been quite a month over here. Lots of vegan and vegetarian recipes, some personal, vegan-related drama and some probably not veganize-able (what?) Nutella cookies. I’m closing out all of this nonsense today with a recipe that can work for all diets; carnivores, vegetarians and vegans alike. I’ve made this recipe twice in the recent […]
Spinach Kale and Pear Smoothie
Green drink! Are you in, loves? My last attempt at a green smoothie wasn’t exactly what I hoped for. So, I picked myself up and found some more green inspiration. Kale. Spinach. Pear. YUM. This smoothie looks very green, but you don’t actually taste any of the green stuff. All I really tasted was the […]
Vegan CocoNana Mini Muffins
Even though I’m not living the vegan lifestyle anymore, I’m still finding ways to enjoy vegan recipes in my diet. I saw this recipe this morning on Miss Mary‘s blog and I had to jump right in and make them! They looked delicious and simple, and they were. The name CocoNana refers to the coconut […]
Part-Time Vegan, Day 5
Day 5 has just replaced Day 14 as the last day of this challenge. Confused? Let me tell you why I’m ending my vegan challenge early. I know I’ve only been doing the vegan thing for a few days, but in the past 2-3 days I’ve noticed a change in Elliott’s eating habits that I’m […]
Part-Time Vegan, Day 4
I ate too many cookies today. ‘Cause, you know.. sugar’s vegan. (Woo hoo!) Breakfast was a peanut butter banana wrap with almond milk. Lunch was the salad bar at Lane’s. Snack was (too many!!) vegan chocolate chip cookies. Dinner was leftover pasta. Let me just tell you about this banana wrap. I make this […]
Part-Time Vegan, Day 3
Today didn’t start out as hungry as yesterday. Maybe I’m starting to get used to it.. maybe? Breakfast was an avocado smoothie and jelly toast. Snack was wheat crackers and a strawberry popsicle. Lunch was asparagus soup and a slice of leftover tart. Dinner was chickpea saute with onions and kale, served over rice. I […]
Part-Time Vegan, Day 2
Today, I was hungry. My body was cool with the veganism yesterday, but today, it was not so accommodating. Breakfast was leftover carrot cake pancakes and almond milk. Morning snacks were graham crackers and a Larabar (on sale for 50 cents at Targ!). Lunch was leftover pasta from last night and a pear. Afternoon snack […]
Part-Time Vegan, Day 1
Well, my first vegan day has proved to be interesting. Here’s what I ate today: Breakfast was carrot cake pancakes. Lunch was a tomato and avocado sandwich with crackers, carrots and fruit. Snack was whole wheat bread with homemade jelly. Dinner was faux alfredo with broccoli. Snack was homemade graham crackers and some almond milk. […]
It’s about to get meatless up in here.
April is here, lovies! I’m excited. I’m a little scared, too. Because for two weeks out of this month, I’ll be going vegan. What the what? (balsamic glazed asparagus) Yes, I’m a little confused about it myself. But I want to do it! So I’m going to. And you guys get to read all about […]
