Forgetful!

Forgot to snap a pic of lunch! I just had some pasta and an afternoon snack of corn chips and grapes. Making seitan for dinner, see ya later!

Bananas!

I have some lovely bananas we got at Whole Foods yesterday, so I’m copying Sweet Eats and having a banana with Justin’s Peanut Butter for breakfast. I also tossed in some perfect red grapes.

The Happs

So, I thought it was time to update you all on what I’ve been up to lately.

-Got the 8GB iPhone 3G, yet, I now have the 16GB White, long story.

-Dad finally traded in that gas guzzling Yukon (got 2K over blue book!) and bought a white Mini Cooper S Clubman, the Clubman is longer, like a station wagon, it’s very cool!

-Going to Bend! We leave on Aug 24 and we’ll be gone a week, we’re driving, so we’re also going to stop in Seaside to see my aunt and I finally get to go to Portland! Vegan Mecca, here I come!

-Also going to St. Louis with my grandma to see her sister, not very veg friendly, but they do have a Whole Foods. Wish me luck, I may come home malnourished. =)

-In the process of unpacking after moving, here’s what our living room looks like.

I think that’s all for now, got the Candle Cafe Cookbook, everything looks delish, so, I’ll be cooking next week!
Good night!

iPhone WordPress!

Here I am! Now that WordPress has introduced the iPhone app, I can update with pics without pluuging my phone into the computer and going through that whole deal, so, here I am! Watching Super Size Me, McDonald’s is some nasty stuff!

So good!

So, today I went with Dad down to Living Green, a really cool store near Studio City where we got some low VOC paint. We also went to Whole Foods and got some yummy foods and had lunch there, they have a whole deli and dad got some teriyaki tofu and I had a vegan grilled chik’n sandwich on ciabatta with vegenaise and FYH jack and we shared some rosemary potatoes and both had some POM Peach Passion White Tea, that stuff is great! I made some cookies and a really good, simple dinner last night, I’ll post the pics in a little while.

Here’s the pictures!

This is Maisy’s Peanut Butter Cake, I usually use carrots in it, but this time, I only had a nectarine so I used that, he didn’t seem to mind. =)

I also made some pineapple sorbet which was very refreshing. (WordPress wouldn’t let me flip the picture)

And, this is a strange, simple meal I came up with, I cooked some whole wheat pasta and cooked some Boca crumbles with italian seasonings and put it all in a casserole dish with a jar of marinara and it was absolutely delish!

And, here is the vegan chocolate chip cookie to end all vegan chocolate chip cookies! This is when they were blossoming in the oven. Here’s the recipe.

I also tried out the frozen cheesecake recipe from My Sweet Vegan, but I didn’t care for it.

See ya later!

Good day!

Finally got to Whole Foods today, here’s my list… 

Salsa, tortilla chips, kettle chips, vegan cheese, chik’n patties, pasta, Rudi’s bread, and a few things Mark needed. When we came home, I had a chik’n patty on a slice of Rudi’s bread with some kettle chips and a GUS soda, they were out of the grapefruit one at Whole Foods, maybe they’ll have more next time. Anyway, we also got my TV moved into my bedroom, it’s wonderful! So, I’m gonna go workout, see you all in a little while! 

Oh, and the July issue is up!

I’m back!

Ok, here I am, I finally got my camera charger, so, I’m ready to commit to picture taking! Be back tomorrow! 

Hectic Afternoon

Today, I went over to my mother’s to pick up some things, don’t plan to ever go there again, thank god. In other news, on the way to Whole Foods, we got in a car accident, it was terrifying, but at least no one was hurt. The police officer sort of acted like it was all our fault, see, we were going down Lake Ave. (if you live near here, you’ll know what I’m talking about) and there’s a lot of people parallel parking and this woman apparently didn’t know how and she was pulling out, we tried to move over, but, a truck came from behind us and we hit the car that was trying to pull out. Our front bumper came off and scratched a bunch of other cars as we were trying to get to a safe place to stop. My arm hit the door and left a little bruise, but other than that, it wasn’t that big of a deal. 

In happy news, I’ve discovered Galaxy Food’s vegan cheese slices are awesome! I had a grilled cheese made with it, yum! Anyway, we’re going to go to Ikea now, see ya later. =) 

Busy and distracted

I’ve been seriously distracted lately, so, I haven’t been blogging, but here I am! I’m obsessed with Gyminee.com, so, I know what I’ve been eating! Today, all I ate during the day was a roll with Earth Balance and for dinner, we went to Olive Garden and I had minestrone soup, whole wheat pasta with marinara sauce, and breadsticks with no butter, it was sooo good! And, I made the chocolate chip cookies from SKItK and I put them too close together, but they were really good. My friend Vanessa is staying the night tonight and she and Mark and I are gonna go for a walk in a few minutes, we always walk late, cause it’s so hot during the day these days. See ya! 

Simplicity…

My life has undergone a little metamorphosis between last night and today, I’m feeling very at peace and very happy with where my life is going. Nothing feels better than this! I’m very happy and the changes that have taken place should free up some time too, I feel so happy and alive! I’ll be back tomorrow with some pics, I need to make cinnamon sugar donuts again so that I can take pics of them for the July issue of the mag. See ya tomorrow!
