Vegan Spinach Pesto with Lentils [Recipe]

June 5, 2015 By Laura

The reset is going well.

Vegas is even feeling good today!

After our impressive display of gluttony in Greece, it’s been good to give our bodies a break and reset some habits. We are almost a week in and things are looking good!

As the toxins leave your body, it can leave you achey, grumpy, and cause some acne. We’ve hit that point. Day 3 for me was rough. I was tired and grouchy. Most of the day I spent working from the bed. Day 4 was the tough one for Vegas. She had a headache all day and took her turn with the inability to get out of bed.

Resetting My Diet + WIAW

June 3, 2015 By Laura

All good things must come to an end.

Until I figure out a way to live in Europe.

I’m a firm believer in balance and enjoying life. Enjoying is just what we did in Greece. There were tons of good eats, alllll the drinks, and a nice break from the gym (though we walked a LOT). Vegas and I had a blast and soaked up every moment. Coming off of that I have no regrets, but feel ready to get back to a healthier diet.

Eating My Way Through Greece

May 29, 2015 By Laura

I am back in the US.

Reluctantly.

Every time I go to Europe I cringe at the thought of coming home… not just because re-entering this country is a case study in an operations fail. 2 hours to get through customs to a connecting flight. Really?!

That said, Vegas and I are back in the States. We managed to eat our way through Greece first though! Some of it was a bit strange. Some meals were better than others. Overall, the experience and trying new things with Vegas (who still thinks I eat some weird shizz) was better than good.

Entire blocks of fresh feta came atop every Greek Salad.

Cinnamon Roll Protein Mug Cake [Recipe]

May 22, 2015 By Laura

Cinnamon rolls kill me.

That smell in the mall… Pavlovian response.

It’s been years since I’ve gotten one, but walking past a certain cinnamon roll chain had me craving a cinnamon roll. I swear they put crack in those things.

In my shipment from About Time, I received a few proteins to sample. I decided it was the perfect opportunity for a little mug cake experiment! Mug cakes may seem normal to many of you… but to the “normal” world I think it qualified as strange. But good. 😉

Nobu Vegas & a Margarita Dinner [WIAW]

May 13, 2015 By Laura

There are some meals you never forget.

And not just because you ave to take out a second mortgage to pay for them.

On our last night in Vegas we had the best meal. Nobu in Caesar’s Palace. It blows my mind that food so good exists inside a casino/hotel.

Breakfast for Lunch Tacos

May 8, 2015 By Laura

3 bloggers can get a little strange.

Meghan’s husband can attest to this.

Lucie AND Meghan are in town (and Meghan’s husband who shall not be named or pictured). We’ve been touring San Diego and causing general shenanigans.

Afternoon beers, anyone?

Culture Brewery

We’ve also been cooking. All of us in the kitchen is a strange but good heaven.

(Vegas reminded me where the fire extinguisher was.) …

Kabocha Bacon Drop Biscuits [Recipe]

May 1, 2015 By Laura

Kabocha and bacon are two of my favorite things.

Vegas and chocolate are also on that list.

Speaking of Vegas, these were Vegas-approved! I always consider that an accomplishment – my pasta-loving lady gives me the side-eye if I try to get *too* healthy on her. However, She can always be won over with bacon.

These muffins were inspired by the bacon grease I had leftover from breakfast at this past weekend. I always save it for cooking; you can use it in place of butter to grease a pan. It may sound strange, but why not use bacon grease in place of butter in baked goods too? It really is good!

Dropped and ready to bake!

Asian Shrimp and Noodle Salad [Recipe]

April 24, 2015 By Laura

Asian food is addicting.

Even without the MSG.

I am a sucker for Italian food. And Mexican. I could eat them every day. Asian food… I don’t crave it daily but when I want it, I need my fix NOW.

When I got Skinny Noodles’ new kale shirataki noodles in the mail, I knew they called for a good Asian dish!
