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

Food Fun – Pita Pocket Joes
I love food, and part of my plant-based cooking excursions have been to incorporate as many healthy habits, as well as recipes, into our routine. It’s been scary fun *interesting* testing out various internet recipe finds on my family. My husband grew up eating meat and typical American fare, so finding recipes that 1. don’t… Continue reading

My Job
It has been nearly 2.5 years since I made the decision to no longer eat anything with a face. I’ll gladly offer resources and information when requested, but am not out to convert others to become vegetarian or vegan. (I will never be accepted in the vegan camp becuase I still have a leather couch,… Continue reading

Plant Life
Today marks two years of not eating anything with a face. I discussed my reasons for moving toward a plant-based diet here, but two years in, a review of the process seems in order. There have been many failed recipes. Homemade bean burgers that fell apart before we even got them out of the oven,… Continue reading

From the Nope Files
My hilarious friend (from Halcyon Hive) regularly posts on Facebook what she refers to as the “Nope files…” and showcases all kinds of awful insects and bugs from her part of the country. I crack up every time. For example: This little Nope is also known as the Arrow Spider. Bonus resentment towards it because… Continue reading

Mock Food
I have come to the realization that I am not a fan of fake foods, or mock foods; things that are pretending to be something they are not. For example, turkey bacon. It’s not bacon. Bacon is bacon. The same is true in the land of fruit and veg. These so-called transition dishes are just… Continue reading

Far from Perfect. Not Even Good.
….Tra-la-la-la-la….skipping happily through summer, making delicious vegetarian meals for my family to savor as we gather around the table for dinner every evening…after playing merrily through our warm South Texas days…. Yeah. Keep dreaming. We are also smack dab in the middle of Crap Week. What’s Crap Week, you ask? Oh, let me explain. Crap Week… 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
