Food Fun
Before going plant-based, I rocked mac and cheese. To the point that, because the only cheese ever used was Tillamook cheddar, I wouldn’t eat anyone else’s. A batch would be whipped up and devoured by my family, every time we declared it was the best one yet! Since ditching dairy, homemade macaroni and cheese holds… Continue reading

My Weird Tofu Trajectory
Although I dipped my toe in the vegetarian end of the pool as a teenager, I had never eaten tofu until I firmly committed in 2017 to do the plant based thing. The first time I purchased it, the sad white block sat in my fridge untouched until the expiry date and it was tossed.… Continue reading

What Are You Eating?
I have been asked this question many times. Someone I haven’t seen in a while remarks on body composition changes, or clear skin, or some muscle definition. I get a message along these lines: “What are you doing? Is it 75 Hard? Whole 30? Give me the deets! You look great!” And as has happened… Continue reading

Newsflash: You’re an adult.
Can we get real here for a minute? You are an adult. (Really. Even if it doesn’t feel like it.) Part of being a grown up human being with a body is taking care of said body. “I don’t like exercise.” “Working out is boring.” “I don’t have time to cook.” “I don’t like the… Continue reading

Culinary Escapades
This week we tried a vegan pulled “pork” sandwich that was featured on Tasty Vegetarian’s facebook page. WOW. The flavors did not disappoint, however the jackfruit, was …messy. (To put it mildly.) Here’s the video, if you are interested: It was very tasty, but sadly, we were missing an ingredient so a trip to the… Continue reading

Food. ALL. THE. FOOD.
I love cooking and I love food. One thing that this venture into meatless eating has provided is the opportunity and motivation to find new yummy dishes! This last week did not disappoint! (Just try not to lick your screen!) I have finally given up on turmeric. I have tried (about 10… Continue reading

Food Adventuring
A question I got was “So, what are you going to actually EAT if you go vegetarian?” All of the things. You know, except for things with a face. In cattle country (aka Texas), it seems like going vegetarian is just crazy. Seriously, though – there are SO many whole food, plant-based items to eat –… Continue reading

Anticipation
I’ve always been afraid of it. I don’t really know why. Frequently maligned and mocked things can come across as scary. It was with great trepidation I even gathered the courage to… put it in my grocery cart. But I did it. Steeling myself as I reached for what I assumed was gelatinous goo, I… Continue reading

Veggietales
I’m not a big fan of sticking a toe in the water. With most things, I’m a jump right in kind of gal. Over the years I’ve played around with various levels of vegetarianism, and was for a solid year shortly after high school. (Going to Mexico and seeing open air meat markets the summer… Continue reading

Inspiration
Feeling a little blah after the holidays I’ve been not so inspired to write lately, about food, fitness or anything else. I have officially stopped working at the gym (my choice, all good) and have been getting into the new routine working out and doing the mom thing. A friend of mine started a blog Fiftytwoin2017 in which… Continue reading
