Roasted Tomato & Pesto Breakfast Sandwich
I was at Panera recently and as an avid egg white-avoider, I was surprised when their Mediterranean egg white sandwich actually sounded good! So I decided to make u own version that yielded several servings instead of the $4 and some change one-serving they have. Roasted Tomatoes Tomatoes, from papa’s garden, chopped 1 TB olive […]
The Pescatarian Pantry
I often get asked, “what do you eat? What’s in your pantry?” Well, I keep lots of dried beans (black, kidney, garbanzo) and lentils on hand at all times. I also keep a variety of protein packed grains such as: farro, cracked wheat, brown rice, quinoa, red winter berries. I store these in airtight jars […]
Quinoa Brittle
You know peanut brittle? This is its unrefined, peanut free, high protein version… and it’s easy! 2 ingredients give you the base (quinoa and agave) and there limitless possibilities from there! I added pistachios and cinnamon for this version. It is great on its own as a little candy (imagine the sweet sesame candies….but quinoa […]
Chia & Oat Granola (with no refined sugar or ingredients!)
Chia seeds. These little seeds, about 1/10 the size of a piece of rice, are packed with omega-3s, ALA, protein, and fiber. The coolest thing about these little guys is they kind of “gel” when left in a liquid or liquid type substance. Imagine the inside of fresh aloe-but not so much slime. When you […]
First Anniversary & Quick Veg Dinners
Last weekend (January 21-23), we celebrated our first anniversary! Wow how time flies. I LOVE this picture of my dad kissing me before giving me away to the man of my dreams a year ago. Pancakes seem to be a honeymoon/anniversary tradition that we must keep. Russell started our weekend off with homemade organic kamut […]

Actually it’s baby food-who cares?) Strawberries Blackberries Half a banana Grated […]
Inexpensive Vegetarian Eating
When I hear people say that it’s expensive to be vegetarian, I laugh. It is expensive if you are buying a lot of packaged and convenience foods. But if you shop for bulk grains and nuts, and follow produce deals, you will actually decrease your grocery bill. At least I have. I do eat fish, […]
Farro and Lentils with Ginger
I adapted this recipe from Fine Cooking. I have many friends and family doing the Daniel Fast, which is basically a 21 vegan fast, praying and growing closer to God. I ran up on this recipe and thought it would be delicious served cold over baby arugula. So for those of you on the DF, […]
Yoga, Kale, & Middle Eastern Fiction
After what seemed to be a short weekend, Monday crept in on my Sunday. Sigh. But an enjoyable Monday nonetheless. After spending time with my grandmother in Montgomery shopping, all hale the non ATL venue, my husband and I brought mashed potatoes to their most healthy state. Non è possibile, ma… but with kale, all […]
Mahi Fish Tacos & Fiberlicious Oatmeal
On a non-culinary note, I finished editing my mother’s first book. Success I would say! I did all of the content editing after mom had the grammar and punctuation edited by a professional. I reduced the 460 page book down to 430 pages, now I can add “editor” to my repertoire. We have moved from […]
