About a year ago I posted a recipe on how to make homemade almond milk with a blender or magic bullet. It is a simple recipe, but there is some soaking of the almonds, some straining of the almond meal and a decent amount of mess. Since then I have been fortunate enough to acquire a Vitamix . They are a bit spendy, but totally worth it. The first thing I did with my Vitamix was make almond milk, and I… Read more »

Last week Derika had to go to Seattle for work and I decided that it would be a crime for me not to go with her. So she went for work and I went for play! Derika and I lived in Seattle for 4 years so I knew that I would be able to get into some trouble while she was at work during the week, and then she and I would stay the weekend so that we would have… Read more »
Pad Thai is usually my go to dish when I am trying out a new Thai restaurant. If they mess that dish up, then I don’t have high hopes for anything else that is going to come out of that kitchen. That being said, I have never had much success at making pad thai at home, and I stopped trying since I have been cutting back on my noodle intake lately. 🙁 I have been using spaghetti squash in some… Read more »
I love mexican food and wish that every day was TACO TUESDAYYYYYY! I would eat chips and salsa and tacos and chips and guacamole and chips and tacos and salsa and hot sauce and tacos and cheese and chips and salsa every single day if I could. I have been playing around with these tortillas for months and I think I finally got it. These gluten-free tortillas are sturdy enough to hold all of your taco goodness like cheese… Read more »
I am blaming kale chips for my love of kale, ever since I had kale chips I cannot seem to get enough of kale in any form. I want to put or sneak it into everything, it is almost getting as bad as my garlic and spicy food addiction. I have been making kale salads a few times a week, but this is by far my new favorite recipe. I could eat it everyday and I just might. This salad is… Read more »
I remember the first time that I had tofu…I was 15 and I had just stopped eating meat. I put it into my stir-fry bowl at a Mongolian restaurant and I hated it. The texture was way weird and it kind of disintegrated in my mouth…YUCK! I actually didn’t start to like tofu until I started eating Thai food, their tofu was super firm and they crisped the heck out of it. Everything is better fried! I can now eat… Read more »
We are finally getting settled in our NYC apartment after our epic seven day 4300 mile road trip across the country. We moved to NYC, because Derika was transferred with her job. We left behind a great city, amazing beaches, and some really fantastic friends, but we are excited for a new adventure in our new city. Derika, Julia the Mystical Traveling Unicorn (a thoughtful road trip gift from a great friend) and I, left lovely San Diego on August… Read more »
I am sitting on my balcony right now listening to the ocean and the sound of boxes being taped, as the last of our belongings get loaded into the moving truck that will be headed to NYC. My neighbor bunny is not pleased with the situation and is currently giving me the stink eye. Tomorrow we are off on a week-long road trip that will eventually lead us to NYC. Along the way we plan on stopping at the Grand… Read more »
Back in the day my favorite quick meal to make at home was a garbage quesadilla. What is a garbage quesadilla, you ask? Basically veggies and a veggie friendly protein stuffed into a tortilla with cheese (everything is better with cheese), fold the stuffed tortilla in half and brown in a pan on both sides. I am trying to not eat as many gluten products these days, so I have been making the heck out of Veggie Bowl-Ritos. What is… Read more »
