Where have I been? I just realized I haven’t posted since Thursday! Well, I wish I had something interesting to report, but my weekend was spent sanding, priming, and painting the walls in my living room. Notice the thrilled expression on my face. I actually enjoy painting, but I hate all the prep work involved. [...]

Good evening everyone! I hope you all had a good day. Remember when I mentioned the awesome PB & Co gift I got for my birthday a couple of weeks ago? Well I decided to put it to good use and try a new flavor called The Heat Is On. It’s essentially peanut butter with [...]

Wow, I can’t believe it’s already Friday! I hope everyone had a good week. Today’s lunch was this simple, yet amazing flatbread sandwich. I got these 7-inch flatbreads at Costco the other day and they make great sandwiches, wraps, and pizza crusts. I am kind of low on food right now, but I managed to [...]

This morning I had the pleasure of meeting with fellow blogger and new friend, Meredith, of Pursuing Balance. We met at Starbucks for some good conversation and coffee. I got my favorite coffee beverage, a grande soy misto, and Meredith had tea. It turns out that Meredith and I have a lot in common, such [...]
The Perfect Sandwich

Sometimes, there is nothing better than a good sandwich. Take this sandwich for example: It basically has everything I could ask for: Field Roast for the “meat”, vegan cheese, sprouts, sweet onions, tomatoes, Vegenaise, spicy mustard, and baby spinach. On some fresh whole grain bread, this sandwich was amazing (aside from the fact that it totally [...]

After having a yummy, yet not very nutritious breakfast of toast and coffee at Panera this morning, I was left with a serious craving for a fresh salad. Come lunch time, I basically ransacked my fridge for anything I could find and came up with this awesome salad. With a bit of Goddess dressing drizzled [...]

Ever since I had a pumpkin smoothie last week, I have been wanting to eat all things pumpkin. Over the weekend I made a pumpkin loaf (no pics, sorry) so I had about half a can left over to use this week. What better way to use up my leftovers than to make pumpkin oats? [...]

Over the weekend I made my first ever green smoothie, and I was definitely impressed that something so healthy could taste this good. In this smoothie, I used about 2 handfuls of baby spinach, one frozen banana, a cup of frozen mixed tropical fruit, one pitted Medjool date, and about 1 1/2 cups of water. [...]

In this salad, I used about one large handful of baby spinach, 1 carrot, half of a cucumber, one stalk of celery, a few slices of [...]
