So, Sunday I had a fabulous day with fellow n00b vegan diet follower, Mandy! I’m going to be frank…it’s been my experience that it’s not as easy following a vegan diet (or even a vegetarian diet) in the south as I would have hoped, but I really can’t be that surprised. I live in Alabama, [...]

I know it’s very un-Iowan but we just had our first sweetcorn of the summer! It was absolutely delicious, though, and I’ll be getting some more this weekend. I served the corn with these Chile Chickpea Burgers – an idea I’ve been kicking around for a while kind of loosely inspired by falafel. I’ve tried [...]

I know it has been a long time since I’ve posted, so here’s an update. Farrell’s is over. The last week just so happened to be the same week of a record-breaking flood in my city. We had water in our basement and spent several days cleaning up from that. The day we were supposed [...]

One of my favorite hash tags on twitter is #whatveganeats. I know a lot of people (myself included) wonder what the heck a vegan eats. Well, since I’ve been following a vegan diet as best as I can since August 1st (with some trial and error, as I am indeed a vegan n00b), I figured [...]

Those ladies aren’t too shabby, are they? They are Crossfitters, and I have this exact picture on my vision board to remind me about health and fitness and strong women! I figured it was about time for me to do a post on Crossfit. This post will be LONG but I think it will be [...]
My two favorite kitchen appliances!

I’d like to now take this time to discuss my two favorite appliances in my kitchen. First, I’m a relatively new health blogger (though I’ve been personally blogging on livejournal for 10 years now), and from what I’ve ascertained in the food blogging community the MUST HAVE appliance for any of us die hard health [...]
Green monster smoothie, revised.
Posted in Andrea, food, Health, Recipes on August 11, 2010 | 4 Comments »
In my quest to make the ultimate green monster nutritional smoothie, I have come up with the following deliciousness. This smoothie is amazing and really tides me over most of the morning at work. It’s basically my breakfast, but occasionally I’ll have it for my snack. And I know Brendan Brazier is a big advocate [...]
