I recently completed a somewhat accidental 10 day sugar-free stint. When I say sugar-free, I don’t just mean the white stuff, that is already a pretty rare occurrence in my life these days. I mean any sweetener of any kind aside from whole fruit. No maple syrup. No rice bran syrup. No coconut sugar or […]
Ruby Red Hibiscus Tea
No matter how trite or cliche it may be, Valentine’s Day comes around every year. Regardless of our current relationship status, it can give us that little nudge to celebrate the love in our lives just a little more than we do any other day of the year. We celebrated this year with a brunch […]
Hi, Hello, and How Do You Do?
Welcome – you are probably here by way of my Instagram, or maybe it’s tumblr, as that has been the bulk of my internet presence for the last couple years. If you’ve come from either, you also probably have an interest in food as my once random Instagram account morphed into one of that of a […]
Key Lime Pie Smoothie
I explained how my love for key-lime anything began when I introduced my mini key lime pies. I would have some form of key lime pie at least once a day if I could. I can’t eat pie everyday though, that would be obscene! But whaat iiifff, that pie was in green smoothie form? LOOP […]
Seared Tofu Bánh mì
Seared Tofu Bánh mì sandwich, using more fresh food from @relayfoods – they carry my favorite brand of tofu from Twin Oaks – try it with the herbed flavor tofu for a flavor punch. This is my favorite sandwich to pack up for a picnic. Pickled veggies, fresh cilantro, mint, and a spicy sauce – […]
Vast Community of No One
I sat down to enjoy my tea and on this morning it took entirely five minutes less than usual before I felt my eyes make a hard roll to the left and I set my phone face down on the table before releasing a deep sigh into the tea cup now making its way to […]
Food Inspo: Creamy Mushroom and Thyme Risotto
I was gifted a block of vegan Parmesan from Violife, all the way from Greece! A creamy risotto was just begging for it. I veganized this recipe by using vegetable broth, Earth Balance butter, vegan wine, and Violife, with some additional minor adjustments. The Violife melted divine, but you can use your favorite vegan shreds until […]
Chocolate + Peanut Butter Overnight Oats
Quick and healthy breakfasts can be a challenge for me with the morning rush. My day no longer feels right if I don’t start it off with Chocolate Peanut Butter Overnight Oats because they require no cooking, can be prepared in under two minutes, and are ready to grab and go in the morning. I […]
Food Inspo: Cherry Smoothie Bowls
There really isn’t much difference between a smoothie and a smoothie bowl other than the serving dish and a little less liquid. But something about eating a smoothie from a bowl makes it feel like more of a special treat. My favorite is a combination of frozen cherries, banana, a medjool date, coconut, and rice […]
Poached Avocado and Tempeh Bacon Hash with Sage Hollandaise Sauce
I often had reoccurring dreams of a breakfast I once had during a trip to Philly at the Vegan Commissary that I just never took the time to try to recreate at home involving hollandaise sauce – vegan, of course. It was my first experience with the sauce because traditionally it was served over runny […]
