The weekly menu

I have a week of food coming your way.  And I’m pretty proud of myself because despite Kyle being out of town I did a decent job of still making myself quality meals…as opposed to just half-assing it and rummaging through the fridge after putting P down. Once again, they’re all out of order. When I’m planning the week ahead, I have a vague idea of when I’ll do certain meals based on their hands-on time and my schedule, but I like the option to switch it mid-week if I don’t feel like a certain dish that day… Read more >

Clean Food Cornbread (with a side of eggs)

Another Clean Food success story.    Since I was working on the 25th, Kyle made me Christmas dinner, which included Terry Walters’ skillet cornbread recipe.  He made it in a casserole dish instead, with a few changes, indicated below.

Mega (obnoxious) Monday

Oh my goodness, it’s only the DAY after Christmas and I’m already feeling completely bombarded with weight loss programs and get-in-shape tips for the new year.  The morning news is ridiculous.  Goals for January.  Jenny Craig ads.  Low fat leftover recipes.  Help!! Dear 2012, I will greet you in January with open arms, until then leave me alone. Sincerely, Elise I’m not trying to sound like a scrooge…I (usually) love bringing health & fitness to the forefront of any discussion.  And yet I cannot stand to hear about resolutions to run a marathon and eat… Read more >

Wilshire-versary

Soooo, let’s just get this out of the way.  There’s been a glitch in the system.  Thanks to Google I have no account, and so my life is a little bit scrambled at the moment.  I feel oh-so-lucky to be one of the chosen deactivated 0.02% (sarcasm much)… I’m sorry the announcement of my giveaway was delayed (I couldn’t access the chart I was tracking everyone’s entries on).  Sorry kids!  It appears a peace treaty has been reached between myself and Google right now.  Let this be a lesson, though – back yo shiz up! … Read more >

Clean Start – meet Terry and win her cookbook

I have raved about her recipes many times on the blog before, so it should be no surprise that I am huge fan of Terry Walters’ Clean Food.  When I found out she was releasing a new cookbook, Clean Start, I was thrilled.  And when I was contacted about interviewing Terry herself, I could hardly contain my excitement! (!!!!!)  What I love about her recipes is that they feature whole foods in their purest form, with a focus on using what’s in season.  Just like Clean Food, her latest cookbook Clean Start is divided into… Read more >
