Red Meatless Monday
Monday, July 28th, 2008I haven’t posted about Meatless Monday in awhile but the idea is still going strong. Usually I make something completely vegetarian but today I had to bend the rules a slight bit because of a sale at Publix. Wild Alaskan Salmon - never frozen was on sale for $9.99/lb! I baked it with a simple [...]
Why Everyone Should Love Peanut Butter and Jelly!
Thursday, June 19th, 2008A good peanut butter and Jelly sandwich is always one of my lunch time favorites. I stumbled upon an interesting campaign that elevates the importance of the lowly PB& J. Check out the Peanut Butter and Jelly Campaign. This campaign does a great job of explaining why meat and animal products are hard on the environment. [...]
Urban Oasis Hydroponic Farm Tampa
Friday, June 6th, 2008If you live in the Tampa bay area, I found a great local farm where you can pick your own veggies for a great price. Urban Oasis Hydroponic Farm is in Tampa, Florida at 5416 W. Linebaugh Ave. Although the farm is only 2 acres, there are lots of plants! They all grow hydroponically - [...]
Meatless Monday - Chickpea Love
Monday, May 12th, 2008We have enjoyed Meatless Monday so much that we actually eat veggie meals or snacks a few times a week. One of my current food obsessions is chickpeas. I love hummus and this chickpea salad. So today we had Chickpea Salad with tomatoes and cucumber along with couscous and green beans. The chickpea salad is super [...]
Organic Panic
Tuesday, May 6th, 2008Anyone who is in charge of the household grocery shoppng has felt the squeeze of rising food prices. In the spirit of full disclosure, I don’t even buy organic milk for my family anymore - it’s too expensive unless there is a great sale. I know lots of blogs out there say they sacrifice everything [...]
Meatless Monday - Cinco de Mayo edition
Monday, May 5th, 2008Okay…so in all honesty I only remembered that it was Cinco de Mayo half way through the day. Lucky me, todays meal kind of fits the theme. I love tacos, enchilladas, etc. and these are easy items to make vegetarian. Today we had Bean Enchiladas and they were tasty. I made them the quick and [...]
Wrap-n-mat
Thursday, May 1st, 2008I heard about his nifty item on my favorite podcast, Manic Mommies. These ladies are hilarious but they also feature some neat stuff. The woman talking about the wrap-n-mat uses them for her kids lunches like you would a ziplock bag. I was intrigued because my tupperware collection is large enough but I would like [...]
Kentucky Fried Stem Cell Chicken
Wednesday, April 30th, 2008If you haven’t heard of PETA’s new contest- you are in for a treat. I am sure that everyone would love to pick up their next bucket of KFC chicken or McDonald’s chicken nuggets and be tempted by the taste of fresh laboratory chicken. As if the processed chicken meat we already have was not [...]
Meatless Monday
Monday, April 28th, 2008Today’s dinner was yummy! Thanks to Kalyn’s Kitchen- a great blog, I was able to combine the South Beach Phase One Diet with a vegetarian meal! Phase one only lasts two weeks but it can be hard to plan a vegetarian menu if you are trying to limit carbs. We had a great main course [...]
Meatless Monday!
Monday, April 21st, 2008Sometime ago, I read about the Meatless Monday campaign on another blog (wish I could remember which one!) and I thought that would be a good way to introduce some new dinnertime ideas. I have read that vegetarian eating can not only be a healthy lifestyle but also good for the environment. So every Monday, [...]
