I know my posts have been very scarce lately – and I have a good reason! The past few weeks have been a whirlwind of crazy. Our realtor in the Bay Area found a house she thought we’d love, so we took a last minute flight down to check it out. We did, in fact,…
Ah, the made up day to top them all… 🙂 Instead of writing some random stuff, I shall point you to my favorite blogger, The Bloggess, and her Valentine’s Day post. Which is spot on. Do something for yourself. Because you’re awesome, and not because it’s some made-up holiday. I’m going to spend some time…
An article a friend forwarded to me, interesting take on a possible cause/cure for MS. Opening blocked blood vessels. Looks to be a safe procedure, too! I hope more is done to validate this, and hoping it helps a lot of folks out there. Article link –> BBC: MS “Blood Blockage Theory” Tested Update: Looks…
I have been on a major soup making kick. It’s cold, somewhat dreary, and I just want something warm and comforting. I used to go for meat-filled, cheese/cream-filled, and gluten-filled goodness, but those are all out now – but that only makes me more determined to find stuff just as tasty, if not tastier. And…
You may have noticed a new name and url for this site… Since I have no idea what dietary changes will be coming in the future, I figure gfvegaquarian is a bit limited as a name. Who knows- maybe I’ll someday add in eggs, or remove fish, or something, and then the name wouldn’t work……
We spent a long weekend in Dallas for my niece’s 3rd birthday. It was really nice seeing her and my family. It’s amazing how kids grow up so fast… She’s now such a talker with a huge personality, and the cutest thing ever! Anyway, M and I didn’t eat much, and when we did, it…
Burgers, and tasty ones, are still on the menu in a gluten-free vegan-ish life! These are slightly adapted from Chloe’s recipe in her book “Chloe’s Kitchen.” We love to serve this over rice with all the fixins – shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, sliced (or finely diced) onion, and a bit of finely diced cucumber. Top…
For the hesitant, the name might not elicit a response of “yum, let’s make that!” but trust me – this is mighty tasty, and like us – you’ll probably end up craving it. We were turned on this recipe by my mother in law, who I think found it originally in the Moosewood cookbook. Through…
One of the most delicious things I’ve had since eating gf/vegan is Thai curry. I seriously have no idea why I didn’t think I’d like it before. I mean, yeah, I don’t like coconut, but apparently now I do. Tastes change! And sometimes for the better. Every year I volunteer as a chef’s helper for…
I had a pretty mean hankerin’ for some good black bean soup… I finally remembered to soak the beans overnight, and I was able to actually make some! (The key being to remember the prep the day before. Sticky notes are my friend.) It turned out ah-maze-ing. No ham hocks needed (nor missed)! It’s a…
I’m one of those people who just loves to collect stuff for the kitchen. Anything from orange peelers to woks to decorative pots… Sadly, I’m limited by the size of my kitchen. GEEZ. When we moved to this house, the kitchen was about 50% smaller than the previous one, so I had to selectively discard…
I wasn’t sure how to write this post… Or if I would. For obvious reasons, 2013 kinda sucked for me. Everything changed. But putting that aside, I made myself focus on the good things – because that’s all that really should matter, right? So here’s my list of the great things from 2013: – I’m…
This year, we didn’t put up the big tree – it was all the way in the back of the attic, and had a bajillion boxes in front of it because we thought we were already going to have moved by now, so had packed up half the house already. Anyway, we still needed something……
Elvis singing Christmas songs – it’s the epitome of this holiday season. It’s not Christmas unless Elvis is with us. 🙂 This year, it’s just M and me; we decided not to travel, and stay home. Try to find new traditions, maybe revamp some old ones. I’ll be working on the Czech Christmas cookies today…
M’s birthday was this past weekend, and we decided to head to Napa for a few days! Hence my not posting anything for a while – we were too busy enjoying the sun and warmth! We found a lovely house through VRBO to rent, and it was up in the mountains, about 20 minutes east…
