Spicy Chipotle Blackened Tempeh Wraps
The strike continues. I am in a no-bake zone currently. I refuse to create another cupcake batter after 5 recent failed attempts so my Valentine will be getting this Chipotle Tempeh Wrap instead. We both have been looking for ways to eat more vegetarian meals anyway and despite the fact that I have strayed from my...
Non-Dairy Ranch Dressing
So a funny thing happened to me at work yesterday: Jillian Michaels came in. With the location of my job, celebrity spotting tends to be a daily happening, which is kind of a fun perk about what I do. I try not to ogle at them (well, there was one time when Bob Balaban from “Waiting for Guffman” and...
Traffic, Slaw, and Finding Hope in All of It.
My beautiful friend Abby passed along a challenge to me to continue on a Blogger’s Relay about Hope. The point is to write about this little enigmatic word and pass it along. Now, I don’t typically do posts like this because well, I just don’t. But since this issue has been on my heart anyway, I thought...

What happens when you combine super hot weather with a place that is null and void of air conditioning? You get one sweaty beast, that’s what. And by beast, I mean me. I’m melting, friends. It’s the kind of hot where, while sitting on a chair, you are nervously afraid to stand up in fear...

Maybe it is somewhere deep down in the part of my brain labeled: “Cara’s Suppressed Childhood Memory Bank.” It’s quite possible that the trauma of such news sent me into a tizzy that I...
A Spicy Mouthful of Attitude
Consider yourself lucky that you just get to read about my bad moods and not actually experience them in person. Yesterday was a doozy. I used to work in a place where they had a designated crab stuffed animal that was attached by a string with the intent of wearing around the neck. It was perfect...
Attack of the tomatoes!
The tomatoes are coming! The tomatoes are coming! No seriously, they are here in mass volume–I cannot keep up. I went out to pick a few of them for some guacamole and….Holy cannoli! They are everywhere! What started out as a few ended up as almost an entire bucket full. So it’s time to get...
Sun Butter Sunday
Today I am feeling a little worn out. I am trying my best to not get the same cold Greg had last week. Grrrrrrr. ←that’s what I say to stinkin’ colds! Not a fan (yeah, as if anyone is…) I am going to take it easy and put my pjs on (yeah, like I don’t already...
