It’s Sunday. What does that mean? Baking adventure! I cooked so much today. I felt compelled in my soul to just whip one thing up and then the next and then the next! We had these protein bagels, then for a snack protein banana sorbet, and for lunch there was hearty vegetable soup with lentil…

Hearty Vegetable Soup
This week the Fall weather kicked in and it’s been lovely. Well, except for the fact that last Wednesday I sprained my ankle. I’m feel better now, it’s wrapped up and I’ve been following the RICE rule like my momma taught me growing up. On Saturday I was feeling the Autumn spirit, I had an…
Pre-Thanksgiving Kitchadi Detox
It’s been a long and exciting week. On Monday, out of nowhere, we ended up taking in an abandoned kitten. We’ve wanted a pet for a long time, and were waiting for the right time. But there is usually never a perfectly right time…sometimes the universe decides to put something in your path. It took…

Honey Mustard Roasted Brussel Sprouts, with Garlic Vegetable Quinoa

According to the National Library of Medicine Brussel sprouts are high in…

But I’m trying to slim down and eating copious amounts of rice won’t help my efforts. We’re trying to incorporate a larger variety of fresh foods and vegetables into…
Chocolate Dinner CashewMilkShake
I was inspired to make this milkshake after trying this Chunky Monkey Smoothie on Sunday and after reading the recipe for this Chocolate Mouse Milkshake yesterday on my lunch break. The Chunky Monkey Milkshake was amazing. And the Chocolate Mouse Milkshake sounded heavenly, but my avocado isn’t ripe yet, so I improvised. It’s not exactly a copycat of the…
