Midsummer after the market, my fruit bowl runneth over
As late summer rolls into early fall, I’m loving the constant change on my plate. This year I’ve focused on eating super seasonally; the majority of meals come straight from the Farmer’s Market. I’ve loved eating locally and I’m looking forward to carrying it through winter . . . with lots of creativity!
BBQ tempeh and corn on the cob and cole slaw, um, YUM!
Tacos two ways.
These mini white cucumbers were soooo divine, I bought them every week for months! I’ve never had a cucumber so crisp and crunchy. I miss them!
With heirloom tomatoes and aged balsamic . . .
Homemade ranch dressing, omgveganranchholygrail
Hummus and falafel in a cabbage leaf wrap.
Does this need any explanation? Nope, I don’t think so.
Homemade vinaigrette. I always prefer simple salad dressings.
And speaking of simple – this is pretty much my idea of dinner perfection.
Classic green smoothie after a chilly morning walk. This one was 2 overripe bananas, lots of spinach, some water kefir, some ice cubes, and some Manitoba Harvest vanilla hemp protein powder. I’ve always avoided flavored powders but this was free so I tried it . . . OMG BLEW MY MIND. My new favorite smoothie!
And of course, in keeping with my MoFo resolution (if this is to be the year of themes, then mine is ‘what I had for dinner’), here’s what I ate tonight:
Oven baked root veggies (red onion, red beets, and heirloom purple potatoes), dijon roasted brussels sprouts, and a bit of last night’s leftover soup.
Mmmm, I love looking back over this food porn! I remember how amazing the food tasted, and how nourished and fabulous I felt after eating it. It makes me so grateful and glad to be vegan!
Happy MoFo!
Hooray! Vegan MoFo is here! All across the blogosphere, vegans are kicking off our celebratory month and raising a glass to veganism. Woo-Hoo! Today also happens to be the first Monday of the month, so of course my main blog post detailed our latest Monday Monthly Mission. But, I couldn’t just let the first day [...]
On the first Monday of every month, we take on a ‘mission’ – a shift or habit or inspiration – to work on together. There’s strength (and support) in numbers! On the last Thursday of the month, we reconvene to see how far we’ve come. #14 “Self improvement is masturbation.” -Tyler Durden I have this [...]
Happy Halloweeeeeeeeeeeeenie!!! Are you dressing up? What are you going to be?! I’m so excited for the festive weekend, and of course here on Bonzai the weekend means comments, critiques, thoughts, support, and suggestions. Lay it on me! It was a big week here on Bonzai!

What an interesting mission this was for me! In one way, I pretty much totally failed. But in another, I was wholly successful. Let me explain. My intention when I set out on this mission was to attend a yoga class at least once a week. I hoped that I’d get into my yoga groove, [...]
