Hey guys! I want to share two food options from Trader Joe’s. They are delicious, inexpensive and perfect meals for busy people since you can just microwave ‘em and enjoy. I don’t usually go the microwave-route, but, hey, when you’re cramped for time and want something easy and outside the norm, you can have one [...]

Hey guys! Trader Joe’s is my version of Cheers — it’s where everybody knows my name. Ok, maybe not really, but it IS like my 3rd home, so I’m always aware when there are new products even before their cute lil Fearless Flier comes out. Here are two new vegan products on the shelves:
Cucumber Wonton [...]

Hey guys! I wanted to alert you to a new almond butter available at Trader Joe’s that contains roasted flax seeds. It tastes very similar to Naturally More’s almond butter with flax, though I think if it came down to a Kardashian brawl, Naturally More would win for being slightly sweeter (hey, my sweet tooth [...]

So, in case ya’ll forgot (as I do need to remind myself each day), I’m trying out the whole “eating like a vegan” thing. It’s been super easy. Except for the part where it’s been super hard. How very Dr. Seuss of me, eh? Here’s the thing — I already eat mostly vegan, so I’ve [...]

Dear Santa,
All I want for Christmas is my sanity back.

Hey guys! It’s been a while, eh? I’ve been having major blog withdrawals, but have made the sage choice to take a little break while I finish up this semester. Basically, I’ve been barricaded in my room, which isn’t too bad [...]

Hey guys!  Brrrrrr it’s getting cold over here!  Does the weather dictate how or when you will work-out? It’s certainly harder for me to get out of bed on cold mornings..
Lately, I have been having trouble eating enough vegetables.  By “trouble,” I mean I have reverted to a cranky 4-year-old who would prefer to eat [...]

Hey guys! I hope you’re having a wonderful weekend! Join me for a quick ghoulish tale?

Hey guys! How’s it going?
Ever feel you get “slap happy” after too many days with little sleep and many deadlines?  It’s gotten to the point I’m just a liability!  Before class today I could not stop giggling about the word “farfegnugen.” Don’t ask.  Later, I ask my friend what “the birds and the bees” really [...]

Hey guys!  Happy Saturday!  There are two things I want to share and, in the spirit of balance, one of them is brain food and the other is food food .  Heads or tails, shall we start with the brain food or tummy food?  *Waits for Whitey the cat to decide but all she [...]

Ok so I had this post I was working on and it was so insightful and poignant (if I may say so myself, tee-hee) then all of a sudden I felt like I was hit by a bus.  I was hot and cold and not in the Katy Perry lovelorn way, but in the oh-shit-I-hope-it’s-not-swine-flu [...]
