  • Advances in Veggie Science

    When I first began my vegetarian journey back in high school there were very few veggie options out there.  You could have a Boca burger, a Boca burger on a salad, a Boca burger on pasta, etc.  I’m still amazed to this day how many meat alternatives are available at pretty much every grocery store.…

  • Vegan Review: True Bistro (Date Night!)

    I’ve been very fortunate this week.  This week I ate at two of my favorite vegan/vegetarian restaurants.  Go me! Let’s start with Tuesday night.  Dylan and I were lucky enough to have my parents want to babysit Soy Bean, so we had the evening to ourselves.  I think the secret to a happy marriage is…

  • Review: Beyond Beef Crumbles

    Tonight is an exciting night.  We are finally wrapping up The Sopranos.  The hubby and I committed to this series and now we are down to two episodes.  Then hopefully I can talk him into watching Orange is the New Black! I don’t know about you but watching The Sopranos makes me super hungry, I…

  • Review: Riced Cauliflower Stir Fry

    Guess who is taking took a nap?  Soy Bean! I’m (or I was) so exited this is a nap that doesn’t involve me holding him.  Freedom!  He’s been down for about an hour and so far I’ve paid three bills, vacuumed, mopped the floors, cleaned the counters and made lunch. Speaking of lunch today I pulled…

  • Review: Eggplant Garlic Spread

    I have another Trader Joe’s winner here.  Well winner for me, my husband isn’t so much a fan to be honest but I guess that means more for me right!? I’ve recently reignited my love for TJ’s eggplant garlic spread.  I actually bought two containers of it the other day just so I would have…

  • A Late WFDW…

    I okay, so I’ll confess that I thought most of today was Wednesday. That will happen this time of year!  Tomorrow is my last day of the 2017-2018 school year and I’m so anxious for summer!  I love my job and my seeing friends at work everyday, but I can’t wait to walk out tomorrow…

  • What’s for Dinner Wednesday

    Okay, so I thought I’d start something new now that we are approaching summer…What’s for Dinner Wednesdays.  Clever right?  Don’t be disappointed if this is the only WFDW post, but I will make my best effort. Tonight for dinner, the hubs and I rebelled against Taco Tuesday and dove head first into Taco Salad Wednesday,…

  • Vegan Breakfast Favorites

    Vacation mornings are pretty glorious.  I’m currently on my third glass of iced coffee.  Typically, on school mornings I sit down at my desk before 7 am which means I usually have my coffee and breakfast on the go.  This morning I soaked up not having to go to work.  I got up at 6,…

  • Easy Lentil Enchiladas

    I had a few requests for this “recipe” the other week, sorry for the delay! When it comes to meals, easier is better for us these days.  I recently hit a home run with dinner.  It was simple, healthy, and most importantly delicious.  If you ever find yourself at a Trader Joe’s make sure you…

  • Trader Joe’s Vegan Finds: Penne Arrabbiata

    I’ll always love a snow day.  I know we make it up in June, but I’ll take it now, especially if it means I get to stay home with my boy. This morning I woke up to a two hour delay for my district.  I had a suspicion that they might end of canceling since…

  • Checking In

    I’ve been meaning to write every weekend for the last two months.  It’s insane how difficult it can be to do with a new baby and house.  Soy Bean is a relativity easy baby too, but still it’s hard to fit things in.  I thought I would just catch up on a few things… Me:…

  • Vegan Dining: Sam Diego’s

      So I’ve reached that awkward point in adulthood where my childhood nightmares become my happiest dreams.  My husband and I are buying a house in the town where I grew up and I could not possibly be more excited.  It’s close to our families, our jobs (I was commuting about two hours last year…
