There are certain days where you know you’re going to need something comforting on deck. Today is one of those days and the sun hasn’t even risen yet. Whenever I know I’m going to be running for the better part of the day, I like to have ingredients on hand to make these Avocado Egg…
Vegetarian
Vegan Cherry-Guava Protein Bites
Happy Mother’s Day! Well, Happy *almost* Mother’s Day! If you’re anything like me, you’ll still end up doing a load of laundry or breaking up battling offspring. Nevertheless, we are Moms, or aspiring Moms-to-Be, and our day is a-comin’. It doesn’t matter if you are a Mom, Dad, or child; these vegan Cherry-Guava Protein Bites…
Sabich Bowls
Thankfully, this post is much lighter than my post from earlier in the week. Little David was brought out from under sedation on Tuesday. He’s suffering from seizures, but the doctors think it’s just his brain rebooting. Please continue to keep him, my sister, and my BIL in your prayers! In the meantime, we need to…
Amba: Pickled Mango Chutney (Vegetarian and Vegan)
Look at it. That bright orange Amba sitting innocently in that mason jar is the stuff dreams are made of. This pickled-salted-fermented sauce is something that shouldn’t make sense but, clearly, it does. It’s the drunk uncle at the family reunion who you should avoid, but can’t. His stories are too good to walk away from….
Tahini Sauce in Five Minutes (or Less)
This Tahini Sauce really only takes five minutes to create. Like, I’m not even lying. I mean, not that I usually lie about prep times. That’s not what I do. It’s just so simple and quick, that reading this will take longer than making it. But, I know you’ll still read this because you and I?…
Turmeric-Almond Milk Tea
Yep! This was a picture the Soldier snapped this past Monday. Why, no, friend. I’m NOT getting my splint removed. What you see here is me getting a NEW flippin’ splint put on!! Not just any splint, either!! The orthopedic surgeon told the Ortho tech at our post’s hospital to put me in a cast!! RIGHT!?! Can…
Vegetarian Curried Cauliflower with Basmati Rice
So…remember last week how I told you I was competing for the Armed Forces Insurance Military Spouse of the Year Title? Well, this is my first blog post as the Armed Forces Insurance Fort Hood Military Spouse of the Year! Although I found out, today, that I won’t be moving on to the finalist round,…
Tropical Fruit Granola Recipe (My New Age Resolution)
This past Sunday, I celebrated another birthday. Another year older, uggggghhhh!!!! I know, I know, “Well, Marta, think about the alternative. You could be dead.” Yes, I could. I could be dead. That actually wouldn’t be all that terrible because then I wouldn’t have to listen to people say that. I jest. Death isn’t cool. Living is what I want…
Chèvre and Tomato Tart: A Meatless Summer Dish
The best recipes known to man have developed out of creativity, laziness, sheer desperation, or a combination of the three. So it is with this recipe. Chèvre (goat cheese) and tomatoes are one of my favorite pairings. I enjoy them together in salads, on pizzas and in appetizers. Last Wednesday I couldn’t muster up the…
Mediterranean Summer Salad: A Fresh Start to Summer
Days like today, I struggle with being an Army wife. I miss my man, Friend. But, I really, really miss him. We’ve just reached the cusp of this deployment and while I’m happy to be at the halfway mark; I realize I still have a lot of days left of missing him. It makes it hard…
