First Bike Ride in 9 Months
Today was the first time I took my bike out in almost 9 months! The last time I rode was the Tour de Habitat back in September. I keep telling myself I’m going to ride, but never do! Today I finally did. Chris and I took a little ride throughout Albany, it was really fun and quite the workout! We made a stop at Buckingham Pond and saw lots of ducks and geese. We biked 14 miles total! I was impressed with myself, but I was pretty tired by the end. It was lunchtime when we got back, so I decided to make some coconut curry chickpea burgers that I…

Summer Recipes
After two years of blogging, I have a small collection of my go-to recipes that I post every once in a while. I tried to find the best ones for summer–I’ll admit, I looked back on some of my old posts and was horrified at the photography (I’m still not that great at photographing food, but I think I’ve gotten a bit better since then.) With it being the first day of Summer and all, here are some of my favorite summer recipes to start us off right! Enjoy!

Veggie Pasta Casserole

I’ve found some really healthy recipes to use including this Vegetable Polenta Bake and more recently, something my mom introduced me to, the veggie pasta casserole! My mom made this for Chris and I when we got back from California. It worked out great and tasted delicious. It is super easy to make,…

My Favorite Way to Prepare Tofu
I hate when people tell me they hate tofu because it has no flavor! Maybe I’ve just grown to love the taste of tofu, but there are ways to really make it taste good. It pretty much absorbs the flavor of whatever you cook it in. Did you know that a serving of tofu has only 5 grams of fat and 10 grams of protein? It is also a good source of vitamin K and calcium. I’ve baked tofu before, but that can take a long time. I guess I just like fast results, especially when I’m starving! I usually cook my tofu in a large pan on the stove…

National Pancake Week!
Last night for dinner I was craving pancakes. Usually I am way too lazy to make pancakes, even on the weekends, but I decided since it is in fact National Pancake Week, I would make some healthy pancakes for dinner! I picked up some Organic 7 Grain Pancake & Waffle Mix the other day at the store and made some healthy pancakes. I went by the instructions on the package but substituted the following ingredients: 1 egg for 1 flax egg (1 tbsp of ground flax with 2 tbsp of warm water) 1 tbsp of oil for 1 tbsp of unsweetened apple sauce 3/4 cup of cold milk for 3/4…
