I’m no Morgan Spurlock but I think 20 days of not grocery shopping, bringing my lunch, and eating only items I already had in the house went pretty well. The fridge is emptier and the plastic storage tubs a little lighter, but I still have a ways to go. What I’m going to do startingContinue reading “From the pantry…New challenge”

It’s not just because I’m hungry, my canned lentil soup is pretty good. Yet another reason to be glad I’m cleaning out the pantry. This can o’soup expired 9/26/08, and the rice is the brown and wild rice mix I brought in for last week’s make-my-co-workers-eat-vegan-and-like-it lunch. I didn’t make enough for lunches this weekContinue reading “Pantry Raid day 20 – Health food tastes good”

I’m totally copying Tara, but with good reason. It’s Turkey time! Adopt a Turkey from the Farm Sanctuary! We both adopted Phoenix. For 25 bucks you can sponsor a Farm Sanctuary turkey! No, you don’t get to take him home, but you can make sure he’s taken care of at the awesome Watkins Glen farmContinue reading “Thanksgiving Turkey Adoption”

Yeah I know, pasta, burritos, pasta, burritos, but after a long day at the office I can whip this up in 20 minutes and I’m not popping lean cuisines into the microwave. 1. Boil water. Add salt. Add pasta. Cook until al dente. Meanwhile… I had some sage from the farmer’s market that I hadContinue reading “Pantry Raid Day 17 – Sage pasta”

Oh, Joanna you just had to go and ask about the vita-mix. I thought I raved in the MoFo, but I don’t think I ever got to it. I have not the words to describe my love for what may just look like a blender….this bad boy is expensive for a reason. It’s got aContinue reading “Pantry Raid Day 16 – Vita Mix Rules!”

My mom had just bought this book Artisan Bread in Five Minutes a Day the last time I visited, and I wanted to give it a try. On this rainy Saturday, I think I can whip up a batch of home made bread. I know I’ve got flour in the pantry. Tami is also aContinue reading “Pantry Raid day 15 – Artisan Bread”

I picked up the Complete Raw Cookbook. I don’t have a dehydrator or a juicer, but I do have the awesome vitamix. I’m going to have to try some of these recipes out. Especially the raw nut things. I like that some bloggers pick a day a week or month to have a raw day.Continue reading “Pantry Raid day 14 – Raw”

I still have only eaten from the pantry for Nov, so when invited to lunch, I suggested I cook and we eat in the company cafeteria. I made more chicken style burritos with brown & wild rice and kidney beans (used 1tbs liquid smoke in cooking liquid.) Chipotle veganaise on the side. They were aContinue reading “Pantry Raid Day 13 – Vegan lunch for co-workers”
