Lunch Lady

Kyle’s coworkers tease him (in a fun, non-mean way) about his healthy vegetarian lunches.  Apparently he’s the organic, non GMO hippie of his office, just like I am in mine. 🙂 Now his colleagues are wondering when I’m going to start packing food for all of them.  Which I’m considering a victory for veggies everywhere.    Thanksgiving leftovers on quinoa.  Oatmeal & snacks.   Spaghetti.  Crock-pot potato chowder (recipe coming).   Pita SB&J with organic Swanson sunbutter and home-made pluot plum jam.   18 Rabbits gracious granola packet with organic vanilla greek yogurt. Scrambled mish… Read more >

Eating the garden

Recently I’ve been making the fruits of my labor into delicious meals. I don’t know where this love for pesto suddenly came from, but it’s really nice to be able to pick your own food and prepare it in the same day.  Thriving basil and parsley plants for the win!

Cheesy faux-mage spirals

Mmmmm… cheesy pasta! [Reminds me of the Friends episode where Joey is shooting a “mmmmm…noodle soup” commercial] I digress. Considering how sucky the brown rice tortillas were, I had zero expectations for this gluten free pasta.  I mean, they’re both made of rice. *I have since tried some of the tricks you guys left in the comments section of this post and there is a slight improvement in the texture, but I think I’ll just make chips out of the rest of the tortillas* Nice stats.  Nice start. They cooked like normal noodles.  And they… Read more >
