I’ve been wanting to make this salad for a long time. I first saw it at Allrecipes.com. Here’s my variation based on what was handyin the fridge — I took out the avocado though. It has a delicious, complex flavor with lots of different textures. I’d def. keep some romaine in for crunch but I’d [...]

1 grapefruit, juiced 1 cup blueberries I hand juiced the grapefruit and then whizzed it with 1 cup blueberries with the stick blender. I’ve had a headache all day and I’m trying to cut the brain fog. It helped somewhat.

Today’s dinner variaton was a Nava Atlas Zuchinni Polenta recipe from Vegan Express. She also has it posted on her blog.

Tomato Egg Drop Soup

A fast lunch fix. Julia had hers with goldfish crackers floating on it. Couldn’t really tell the egg was there — I think going vegan with it and using tofu would be better. Not bad, but needs a little work. Its main virtue is quickness — esp with impatient 5 year old around. I can [...]

Amy’s Pizza Snack + Pineapple

Not vegan, but vegetarian lunch. I’m baking madly today for my kid’s school bake sale so lunch today was grab and go when I went to pick up cupcake ingredients. While I’m grateful my grocery carries’ Amy’s Kitchen stuff, it isn’t the full line and doesn’t always have the vegan options. 1 box of Amy’s [...]
