It’s 6:00 AM and for some reason I’d way rather wake up early and sip coffee in the dark than try and be useful past 10 PM. In college, I used to set my alarm for 3:30 AM to study for O-Chem tests rather than try to stay up into the late hours of the…

Chickpea Blondies (GF!)
I recently made a pan of black bean brownies that were out of this world. Aside from the part where I could have eaten the entire pan in one sitting, I felt great about the fact that I was sneaking in some extra protein and my brain didn’t even know it. Since becoming a vegetarian,…
Friday Food Favorites 9.9.16
It’s finally here, Dan and I are going to Chicago for his birthday! Remember a few weeks back when we were supposed to go but then we last minute went to Wilco instead? No? Well that’s okay. Long story short Southwest Airlines in the bomb.com for all your last minute life/flight cancelations and we changed…
Rhubarb Graham Cracker Ice Cream
How on earth is it already September, you guys? It seems like the summer just flew by and soon enough I’ll be scraping ice off my car every morning through the Minnesota winter. Not. Fun. We’ve been enjoying the last taste of summer with roasted veggies from the CSA, bike rides, and of course –…
Friday Favorite 8.26.16
It’s another round of Friday favorites and this week I’m obsessing over plants. I however, will kill just about anything that is green so that puts me in a bit of a conundrum. How do I put real plants in our house that has doesn’t have a lot of natural light that are also very…
Coconut Chocolate Chunk Cookies
Cookies and ice cream. Those are the only sweet things I really crave. Okay, maybe also chocolate but that’s a story for another post. Sure, I like cake and pie and all those wonderful things but it wouldn’t be the end of the world if I had to go without them. Cookies though, don’t even get…

“This weekend Dan and I are going to Chicago! We are going as an early birthday celebration while the weather is still nice and before we get busy. Even though I grew up in the Midwest, I’ve spent a pretty small amount of time in Chicago. The bean? Haven’t even seen it. I’m super excited…
Bomb Veggie Sandwich 101 + Tempeh Bacon
We’ve all been there. Someone orders food for a group outing or team meeting (plant trial in my case) and it’s sandwiches or pizza. If it’s pizza, I’m pretty much out of luck unless I have a billion Lactaids on me but sandwiches are even more disappointing. There is nothing worse than a turkey sandwich…
Friday Favorites 8.12.16
Whooooop, another week down. Anybody else just exhausted this week? I am sooo ready for the weekend so that I can sleep in bike and paint my front room. The only exciting news I have is that I traveled for work this week – on Delta. If you follow the news at all then you’ve probably…
Quick Pickled Cucumbers
I was having a hard time finding anything to write about for this post. While they are incredibly delicious, there’s not really a story behind these pickled cucumbers other than the fact that I needed to get rid of them (the cucumbers, that is). When I exclaimed that I just wasn’t in a very inspiration mood, Dan…
