via... I'd have pictures of my own, but the food was demolished before I had the chance! ;) I come from a family with an arsenal of select comfort foods: Various casseroles, beef stroganoff (so much so that I had to vegetarianize it!), and tuna melts were staples in my house, and they were almost always meat-based in some way. So when I became vegetarian (again) in my early 20s, the first thing … [Read more...]
Meatless Monday: Recipe: Cheese"steak" Travesty
25 April 2011 By Leave a Comment
Riding on our vitamin D high from yesterday's fun-filled day outside, Matt and I decided to fire up the grill and make some cheesesteaks. Except there was no steak, but turkey (or turk'y, in my case), which would be a travesty to the most hardcore cheesesteak lover. There was, however, a good amount of cheese, and the most delicious carmelized veggies you've ever eaten (and some leftovers to enjoy … [Read more...]
Meatless Monday: Recipe: Golden-Crusted Garlic Brussels Sprouts
18 April 2011 By Leave a Comment
via...I used to turn my nose at those little balls of green cabbage. Ugh, brussels sprouts, the bane of every child's... erm, childhood, I'd think, snubbing them as if they were dung pellets. I never even had brussels sprouts, but everyone else's testimony led me to believe that they were horrible.Well, thank heavens for a coworker of mine, who not only loves brussels sprouts herself, but who … [Read more...]
Meatless Monday: Recipe: Jamaican Curry Tofu
11 April 2011 By Leave a Comment
For our honeymoon, Matt and I took a trip to Jamaica. The weather was absolutely atrocious that entire week, but it was made up for with the beautiful grounds, the amazing staff (who kept us all entertained), and the delicious food! Our favorite was the curry, which was traditionally made with chicken and, on a couple occasions, with tofu. Of course, I was all over that. Best part? It's actually … [Read more...]

8-Min Abs challenge is going well! I only missed yesterday because my girly parts were giving me a workout worthy of an entire month of ab workouts, but since that's entering TMI Land, let's just say that it sucked. A lot. And I didn't feel up to it. Today, though, right back on the wagon.While that inevitably offset my goal of eating well this week (oh, B&J's Chubby Hubby, how my uterus and I … [Read more...]

Meatless Monday: It’s all Greek (yogurt) to me!
14 March 2011 By Leave a Comment
If you've been in a grocery store within the past couple months (and um, y'all have to eat, so I'm assuming you have), I'm sure you've noticed an influx of all these Greek yogurts with weird names -- Fage, Oikos, Chobani, Voskos, Skyr.is -- boasting huge health benefits. I know I have, and while skeptical, I decided to pick up some Chobani a few days ago. Matt has been eating them like crazy, so I … [Read more...]
