I am loving these new multi-grain flatbreads I picked up at Costco the other day.
The pack comes with ten large flatbreads for only $3.99!
Yesterday I used them to make this quick pizza topped with mushrooms, onions, and zucchini. For the sauce, I used a drained can of diced tomatoes and spread the tomatoes around before putting [...]

Good evening all. I can’t believe it is already Friday tomorrow, this week flew by for me.
Since I ate a rather boring bowl of oatmeal for breakfast, I will spare you the details. I did enjoy a cup of Tazo Awake tea for a change instead of my usual coffee.
I added almond milk and stevia [...]

I love all the variety this time around.
Fresh organic berries are such a treat!
I can’t wait to try this bad boy! Has anyone ever [...]

Happy Tuesday everyone! I started the day with this lovely bowl of banana oats.
The trio of toppings: a crumbled Hermit (more on these later), sunflower seed butter, and ground flax seeds. Yum, I loved this combo today.
For lunch, I had a crazy salad which was made possible by my wonderful CSA box. This was definitely [...]

Today I received my first ever CSA box of organic produce through the buying club I signed up for last week.

3 red onions
1 avocado
2 red peppers
2 mangos
a huge cucumber
3 small zucchini
1/2 [...]

This afternoon I met friend and fellow blogger, Meredith, at Whole Foods for lunch and grocery shopping. I got this beauty at the salad bar:
Baby spinach, garbanzos, green peas, corn, peppers, tomatoes, cukes, carrots, beets, curried lentil salad, tofu (amazing), red pepper hummus, wheat berry salad, and a stuffed grape leaf. I love getting [...]

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 [...]

Today’s lunch was this simple and delicious plate of goodness.
A black bean and chipotle Gardenburger topped with vegan cheese, some balsamic tomatoes and sauteed broccoli on the side. Love these burgers! They are full of spicy chipotle flavor. The tomatoes helped cool my mouth down a bit.
I actually got the “cheese” to melt a little [...]

I am a big fan of these canned Ranchero beans from Whole Foods. Aside from being organic and cheap, they have a really great flavor and are easy to incorporate into different meals.
Today I turned one can into a large meal by adding lots of fresh veggies to the beans. I just sauteed some chopped [...]
