Nutribullet Fun!

Wow, it’s been awhile since I’ve posted anything new. Hope everyone out there had a fabulous holiday. 🙂 So… I got a nutribullet pro for Christmas. How fabulous life is now!! It’s easy to clean, takes up hardly any room on the counter and is powerful enough to liquify just about anything… so far. Aside from…

Mexican chicken pizza

So today I cleaned out the fridge. It was a task long overdue, as is a good trip to the grocery store. This recipe is a total slacker trip, but it worked in a pinch and made good use of the foods I had leftover. Ingredients: 1 gluten free pizza crust 1/2 Cup of daiya…

Persimmon and Avocado Salad

Earlier this week, a friend of mine offered me a fresh Persimmon. Now, I grew up on the East coast, where my exposure to fruits and vegetables was a pretty mundane affair, and after childhood I mostly rejected them. Meat, dairy, bread and potatoes were the standard fare. Now I live in California, where a…

Ayurvedic Dahl Recipe: Simple Lentil + Spice Soup

http://www.yogajournal.com/article/health/ayurvedic-dahl/ I have been making this simple, aurevedic healing recipe for years now, with only slight variations. It’s easy and delicious, plus turmeric is so good for you. Instead of ghee, I use earth balance organic buttery spread. Also, if you want a little more substance to your dahl, I enjoy adding a finely diced…

Egg White Breakfast Sandwich

I woke up this morning with a craving for a cafe-style bacon, egg and cheese breakfast sandwich. This is a surprisingly good substitute, which is meatless, gluten/dairy free and is really yummy! I whipped it up in minutes. It’s an easy breakfast for those days when you’re on the go. Note that I do make it…

GF/Vegan Banana Chocolate Chip Scones

As fall comes around, I start craving baked goods for breakfast and at tea time. I’m not much of a baker, but in my previous life I could usually manage a decent scone. Today I felt like trying my hand at a GF/SF/Vegan adaptation, mostly because I had some bananas sitting around that were getting pretty…

Tempeh Reuben

Here’s another dish I tried making the other day that is so easy. All you need is a frying pan, a toaster and a sharp knife. Most of the ingredients are ones that anyone usually has lying around, although I do look forward to trying different kinds of sauerkraut. The Russian dressing probably needs a…

Very Simple (Egg White) Omelette

I do consume organic, free range egg whites, on occasion. I cant really eat tofu, otherwise I’d be making scrambles with that. This morning I was in the mood for a healthy omelette, so I whipped this up and it was super yummy. Cooking with egg whites is so much easier than using eggs, just pour…

MK’s Thai Coleslaw

I unabashedly ripped this recipe off of a former roommate and good friend of mine, who is a serious carnivore and an amazing cook. He’d probably shudder at the thought of it being meatless, (he included rotisserie chicken), but I think it’s amazing. Also, it’s ridiculously easy and super yummy. Cabbage is really good for you – it…

Update – It’s been such a long time…

Hello netverse! It’s been ages since I’ve posted here, I know. I’ve been through a lot of changes. Finally escaped from LA and moved back home to the bay area a little under a year ago and have been busy catching up on my life. Came up with a few new recipes, discovered some interesting…
