A Pagan vegetarian wife and Jewish omnivore husband makin' it work!
Matt is out of town on business until Friday afternoon, so it's Smoothie Week in my house! Not just regular ol' smoothies, either, but green smoothies! You know, imbued with spinach, kale, ginger... the usual, right? Absolutely delicious green smoothies. Of course, Matt would call me weird. Plus, he hates bananas and other such awesome fruits. And, um... kale. That's why I do this shit when … [Read more...]
Food has come a long way, baby. You'd think it was easy enough to determine what a balanced diet is, but in the mid-20th century, when processed foods, fast foods, and general convenience foods were rapidly pushing out the good ol' home-cooked meal of yesteryears, there arose a need to establish some sort of nutritional guideline. Introducing: The four basic food groups! These groups … [Read more...]
Not only is it dairy-free and vegan, it's also incredibly tasty! Very coconut-y, of course, but it's made of coconut, so if you didn't anticipate that... then, well. Duh. This recipe involves taking a can of coconut milk and leaving it in the fridge for several hours, preferably overnight. You'll want full-fat coconut milk, as anything less tends to be a little runny (see: My coconut milk … [Read more...]
I’m on my third week at my fancy new job, and I admit to loving every minute of it. There’s so much to learn and absorb, and I feel like every day I come into work is new and exciting. While I miss my former coworkers, I’m meeting new people here, and they’re all incredibly friendly and great to work for and with. I figured that, since I have a fancy new job, Matt and I would celebrate … [Read more...]
Sometimes, coexisting is actually really hard. And can result in some heated debates. Matt and I argued about food yesterday, from our different diets (which isn't typically a problem but holy crap yesterday) to how to raise healthy kids with healthy diets, and pretty much everything in between. Of course, we started when we got to bed at 10pm, and probably passed out (finally!) around … [Read more...]
Matt and I are without electricity, and probably will be until Saturday evening. We lost it last night around 9pm, banding together with a couple of our neighbors (bonding time!) to discuss the snowstorm that somehow ended up taking out our power. How 6" of snow managed to do that when two back-to-back blizzards with several record-breaking feet of snow and not a single electricity flicker, we'll … [Read more...]
I'm celebrating the coldest, windiest Maryland day in a comfy wool sweater, calf-high fuzzy boots... and a jean skirt. Did NOT plan this one, I swear; I did jeans laundry last night and woke up to them still damp in the dryer, so I started them again while also scouring my drawers for another pair of pants. The only pair was my black dress pants, which I hadn't worn in ages.... and they were … [Read more...]
Not long ago, we had a post here about barbequing. On top of the great discussion brought up as a result, a fierce argument also raged... that between gas grilling and charcoal grilling. Vegetarian or omnivore, we all have a fist in this fight, so weigh in below: Do you prefer gas or charcoal for your summer barbeque? Or are you a little offbeat, and prefer hickory wood?With Memorial Day quickly … [Read more...]
