Doing this October Unprocessed thing isn’t as easy as you’d think! Especially at 5:30am when you’re about to make the same breakfast you’ve been eating for 5+ years! Dinner wasn’t as difficult since I already knew I was making the Farro with Roasted Squash, (Tofu) Feta and Mint our of NYT. Delicious, as usual! Tomorrow I was planning pasta...hmmm. I’m assuming that falls under the “processed” label. Phooey. #octoberunprocessed #vegan #vegansofig #easyveganrecipes #veganizeitdontcriticizeit #squashseason #acornsquash #delicatasquash #italianfarro #nytfood #wholefood #organic #plantbased #meatfree #dairyfree #veganfeta #anythingyoucaneaticaneatvegan (at Kook Corner)

If you haven’t been following along on social media, Alex is a Peruvian chef and makes the most amazing dishes – and inspires me to become a better cook myself!

#OctoberUnprocessed: Banana Chocolate Chip Whole-Wheat Muffins!

One of my favorite food blogs, EatingRules.comdoes the #OctoberUnprocessed challenge every year. And since it started back in 2010, the year I was trying to lose the baby weight after my daughter was born late November of ’09, I’ve attempted to take the challenge (and mostly failed!) But I always learn something new, and I’m always reminded of how much better my body feels when I eat healthy…
