Sweater Fixin’

by keri marion | April 24 | sewing, simple living | 0 Comments

I found this potentially awesome sweater at Savers a little while back. The thing was that it had these really weird knit long sleeves which didn't really match anything. It is black (good), with cool embroidery along the upper chest (very good), but wow: who...

But what do you eat on vegetarian Whole30?

by keri marion | April 9 | food, Vegetarian Whole30 | 0 Comments

We're on our second round of vegetarian Whole30, and it has gotten to the point that when people ask me what we eat on such a "restrictive" diet, I sometimes don't even know because it's come to be such a habit. The only thing not vegan in our diet is eggs, and we try...

Potholes & Whole30 Sushi

by keri marion | April 5 | food, knitting, life, Vegetarian Whole30 | 0 Comments

Ugh, so today was such a weird (but overall good) day. On my way to tap class last night, I hit an enormous, unavoidable pothole on 95N (right in front of the mall); it ate my hubcap and bent my rim. I didn't notice the rim was bent until this morning; in fact, I...

Whole30 Chile Relleno

I'm so full right now that I can hardly type, but I wanted to share what just under 400 calories can look like. Let's look at the profile, tho... this is for the whole meal, not just the pepper. 30% of daily recommended protein w/o the flesh? LOL Nearly 50% rda fiber?...

Nime Chow Salad

So this salad would not be Whole30 compliant if I were not adapting it for vegetarian. Legumes are off the list for Whole30 if you're a meat-eater, but I use legumes a little bit, and since peanuts are a legume, they are technically off the menu. That said, I have...

Whole30 “Lasagne” Soup

Mar 31, 2019 | food, peasant foods, veganing, Vegetarian Whole30 | 0 Comments

Every Sunday is prep day at home, and every Sunday we make a big soup that will carry us through the week. Most of the time, it is what we call "Lasagne" soup. Whole30 restricts grains and dairy, so basically Lasagne soup is really just Tomato vegetable soup, but hey:...

It's windy, warm, and projected to rain. All the reasons I bring our houseplants out for the day. This beautiful Bay Laurel is about four years old. I bought it from Seven Arrows Farm in Attleboro, and it has served me well. All year long, I'm able to pluck from it,...

Whole30 Compliant Phô

Mar 31, 2019 | food, Uncategorized, veganing, Vegetarian Whole30 | 0 Comments

My mood today is much improved. I'm starting to feel more like my regular self - still a little tired, but not too much. I think this is day 6. I'm so glad I had opportunity to go visit with Eve in her new apartment today. It's so cute! I truly wish we had more time...

Seriously: today hit me like a brick. I am so tired, I can hardly even stand it. I know it will pass by tomorrow, but it isn't entirely from Whole30 - it's just been a long, emotionally-taxing week. Skip over my drama and head straight to Whole30 I found out an old...
