Tonight’s dinner comes to you thanks to the newest issue of Vegetarian Times. The cover of the April/May issue features a very tasty looking sandwich which (which witch?)

In the News: High-Calorie Kids’ Meals
Some of you may not know this about me, but in a former life, I was a teacher. I taught English in Germany and then German in the U.S. Although my work is now in the corporate world, I still find myself keeping up with issues in the news regarding children’s welfare and education.

Recipe: Salsa & Hummus Dip
I hate to even call this a recipe. It takes literally 2 seconds, but the results are delicious. Try mixing your favorite hummus (mine is the Garlic Lover’s from Aldi) and any kind of salsa (I used one from World Table this time, but it’s not necessarily my favorite). That’s it. Mix them together for … Continue reading

Dinner is Served: Tuna Steak, Quinoa, Salad
Simple marinade for the tuna steaks – pepper, sea salt, tamari sauce, lime juice, garlic, and turmeric…delicious!
New Product: NoOodle
While looking around on Facebook the other day, I noticed a friend of mine advertising that she had tried the new “no fat, no calorie” NoOodles. Whenever something claims to have zero fat or calories and isn’t H2O, I tend to raise my eyebrows in skepticism. What’s the catch? Is it just a bunch of … Continue reading
In the Garden: Sproutage!
As promised here are some pictures of the recent sproutage in my little herb/veggie garden. For those of you who don’t know me well, I am not a big gardener. I do not have a green thumb: I have this innate ability to kill even a cactus. It’s a gift, really. Last year I tried … Continue reading
