Pumpkin & Pomegranate

I apologize for the photo you are about to see, but only sort of. You see it doesn’t look nearly as good as it tastes, and the recipe for one of the ingredients makes up for the not so photogenic food. This was my breakfast:
The fact that the photo was taken with my phone only [...]

And I was SORE. Especially in my hips, which is really good because I have never been sore there before! My teacher was Eza, and she was wonderful! I have had a few yoga classes in my life, but I not had many and I don’t think I have ever felt completely comfortable in a [...]

Yesterday I posted all about my brunch at Plum Vegan Bistro and I ended by mentioning the recipe I tried out Sunday night. I felt that it was just way too much for one blog post, so it continues. My Sunday was a day of vegan goodness! I admit the whole day wasn’t vegan as [...]

I have a new love! Matt and I were shopping at Whole Foods yesterday (I gave up my boycott a few weeks ago), and I was picking up my usual box of quinoa flakes when I saw something incredible.

Exhibit A:

So I’m having a little chocolate with my breakfast. What’s the big deal? That happens to be a big warm bowl of buckwheat mixed with cocoa powder, coconut milk, a banana, some stevia, a little vanilla, and a big dollop of Sunbutter.

I apologize for the lack of blog entries recently. There have been some things going on in my personal life that have been taking up my time, but I am working on producing more blogs of interest!
The past few days I have had quinoa flakes for breakfast. I miss oatmeal, and since the mornings have [...]

A second try at pumpkin pancakes gave us fabulous results! While Matt admittedly prefers “real” pancakes, I am just overjoyed to be able to eat something that is SO close to what I grew up with. That is probably because my mother always used whole wheat, and I didn’t grow up with Bisquick (Thanks Mama!).
I [...]

Because you know I had to make them. You clearly can see I have an obsession with pumpkins. in fact, I ponder a tattoo of a pumpkin (and a pomegranate). If I do it, it will be of my favorite variety, the fairytale pumpkin.
I haven’t been able to find any of these lovelies in my [...]

I came up with the idea to make these yummy apple muffins because my father is a muffin guy. My dad has been visiting these past few days, and one of the things we have discussed has been nutrition. Recently he went to see a nutritionist, and while I believe that she means well when [...]
