Jazzy Vegetarian Classics (Book Review & Giveaway - CLOSED)


Oh how I love a new cookbook! The most recent addition to my collection is Jazzy Vegetarian Classics: Vegan Twists on American Family Favorites, by Laura Theodore. Laura puts a vegan twist on beloved family meals, with recipes such as Spaghetti and "Wheatballs," Twice-Baked Potatoes, Savory Seitan Loaf and many more.

Having been raised on a traditional North American diet, I can relate to these classic foods. Sometimes you just want to slap a burger on a bun, throw some fries on the side and call it a day. You can do that in a healthy, animal-friendly way with Laura's recipes for Mushroom-Nut Burgers and Confetti Oven Fries.

What I Ate Wednesday, snow day edition


Happy Wednesday! I'm calling this the "snow day" edition of What I Ate Wednesday because I am sharing a look at the foods I ate yesterday while the kids were home from school for a "snow day." It wasn't actually even snowing. It was just super cold (like -30°C with the wind chill). Schools were open but buses were cancelled, so my kids wanted to stay home.

It turned out to be good motivation to eat a little bit healthier for the day. Instead of my pb & j with toast breakfast, I put out a fruit platter for us all to munch on.
