Hydrating Vegan Chocolate Milk
I’m generally not one to wish away the week, but boy am I happy that it’s Friday. Today’s my rest day from the gym so I treated myself to a 30 minute sleep in. It doesn’t sound like much, but when you wake up at 3:30am every minute counts. I have leftover homemade pad thai…

Yasodhara Memories: Eggplant Harvest Bowl
I’m a huge fan of roasted vegetables. They’re easy, versatile, flavorful and make for amazing leftovers.

They must have known I was coming, because…

Pumpkin Spice Smoothie
Oh heavenly orange squash that marks the first day of Fall, how I’ve missed your versatility. Pumpkins are filled with complex carbohydrates, fiber, anti-oxidants, and vitamin A… but I’ve been avoiding them. I blame it on end-of-summer-denial syndrome. Yes, it’s something many of us struggle with *tear* But in an effort to keep up with…
Dreamy Chocolate Chip Cookie Balls
I’m not sure if I’ve ever talked about my parents’ obsession with moving change. I lived in a total of 12 houses in the first 17 years of my life. Now, you may not think that’s a lot, but when you factor in that 6 of those 12 were temporary houses while our next house…

I don’t know about you, but come the end of the week I have a bunch of leftover grains sitting in the fridge from a weeks worth of sushi and rice bowls. Grains stay good in the fridge for 3 days but the thought of throwing them out kills me every time. Until recently, I’d…
