Remember when I said the Roller Derby was the strangest “exercise” I’d ever done? Well I’ve topped it. I took a pole fit class, aka pole dancing. Studio X had a groupon here in Richmond, so naturally, I had to try it. (I love good deals, and I love trying new things, so groupon is…
Krishna- So. Freaking. Good.
Forget a clever title. This recipe was TOO GOOD for me to waste time coming up with an enticing title. But let me back up. My friend made me dinner last night, and let me highlight 3 awesome things that go with that statement: Um, someone made me dinner. There was tofu involved (Yes, Tofu….
Some Kiiiind of Wonderful…
My [extensive] nut butter collection has a new edition. Oh. Em. Gee. Have you tried this stuff? They should call it “Heaven in a Jar” because that’s what this stuff is. Some people have impressive wine collections. I prefer nut butters. So now I have about 8 jars of nut butters in…
Time to Lace Up Those Skates…
Sometimes, you just need to shake things up. Enter, the River City Roller Girls. In December, a bunch of friends and I went to go see a Roller Derby Bout, and my friend Stephanie and I decided we NEEDED to try this. (If you ask me “Why?” I’ll say “Why not?”) So…
Chickpeas- “The New Chicken”
Chicken… SO last season. Chickpeas are where it’s at, people. Ok so I actually just think meat is yucky, and I love chickpeas, and I wish everyone else loved them as much as I do. Saturday night, a friend came over, and we made the Chickpea Taco recipe that I found on Happy Herbivore. I…
Coffee, Couscous, and Cereal Loaded Granola!

It Ain’t Pretty… But it Sure is Tasty…
Sometimes it’s the simple things. One of my favorite dinners this week is pictured below: Yep, it’s just some butternut squash. Sliced, salted and baked. It may not look pretty, but it sure was tasty. It’s like sweet potato fries… but healthier! Seriously, if you have not tried this yet, what are you waiting…
Veggin’ Out- A Veggie Burger Attempt
I really wanted a veggie burger. And I really didn’t want a frozen patty thawed in the microwave. I also had some left over kidney beans that had been chillin’ in the fridge for a few days, and it was about time they got used up. I know I’ve seen some great recipes for veggie…
Don’t Give in to Vegetable Corruption
It makes me sad when I see a poor innocent vegetable turned into a nutritional bomb. Example: Fried Zucchini. I LOVE zucchini. But deep fried and breaded? Come on people. We’re missing the point. That’s why I like to faux fry Zucchini, HG style. My recipe is slightly different (and vegan) so I shall post…
