Simple Sweet & Sour Tofu
As a working mother, I love simple and easy meals. I actually have a copy of a cookbook titled, A Man, A Can, A Plan, that was created for men with recipes that do not require tons of ingredients. The recipes within this book are quick, tasty, healthful meals based on canned and other convenience foods. When making…
Coconut Curry Tofu
I am a firm believer of home cooked meals for my family. Honesty eating take out is unhealthy and doesn’t align well with our budget. Despite always cooking and being in the kitchen, I hadn’t done so as much as would have liked in 2015. My 2nd daughter was born 10/19/14. During maternity leave and…
My “sidekick” is called KALE!
Remember my post, Hail to the Kale!? Welp, I am still doing so. I use Kale in many different ways because of the it’s unsurpassed health benefits. It has now become our go to sidekick or side dish when we need to add greens to our entree. The great thing about it is that my 5 year old…
Spicy Sardine & Potato Stew
King Oscar Sardines in Extra Virgin Olive has become a staple in my house. Sardines are healthy and sustainable. They are considered brain food because they are packed with Omega 3s. In fact, they are one of the most concentrated sources of the omega-3 fatty acids. Since sardines are at the bottom of the aquatic food…
Blueberry Picking: A Handful of Health
Today was a great day. My daughters and I awoke early and headed to Swift Creek Berry Farm to pick fresh blueberries. It was a lot of fun. They have rows and rows of blueberry bushes with blueberries growing in all stages. It was not hard at all to find full colored, plump, ripe blueberries to…
Drink your Inflammation Away!
In previous post I have shared like Take Heed: Ditch Western medicine and Book Share I discussed no longer relying on Western Medicine to heal us. I am still gung-ho about this. After having my second child (2 and done :)), I was referred to a gastrointestinal specialist for severe inflammation to say the least. I was totally shocked…
Prepping to Save Time & Money
Do you ever find yourself leaving your house and heading to work only to realize you have no lunch or no money come 12 noon? Welp, I do. I have recently realized that prepping is much needed in my life. Being a full time, working mother almost requires it. For those not in the helping…
Spicy Vegan Peanut Butter Tofu with Sirachi
So I must admit for 2-3 years my fiancé and I have stuck to a pescatarian diet, but in the past few months we have dibbled and dabbled with meat. Reasons behind this have nothing really to do with missing meat, but more to do with budgeting. I just don’t get it; healthier foods are…
Strawberry Picking with Friends
My friends and I all have children around the same age which makes it fun for us to plan outings. Each summer we do something fun and meaningful with our children. From picking apples (upcoming post) in the fall or picking strawberries in the summer. Normally, I share about places to go in RVA, but…
Coffee is not my Cup of Tea
A cup of tea makes everything better; its always a good idea. I will admit that I am not like the average American because I do not drink coffee. Was there once a time when I did? Yes, but it was merely 1 cup or 1/2 a cup per a morning work day. On average, 50%…
General Tso Tofu
A lot of people dismiss tofu because of its texture, its appearance, etc. Tofu is actually a great source of protein which makes it a great meat replacement. By definition Tofu, also known as bean curd, is a food made by coagulating soy milk and then pressing the resulting curds into soft white blocks. It…
