Saturday grits

Not that you asked, but Kyle lived in the south (Hot-lanta what what) for a majority of his childhood.  He emailed me from work the other day requesting grits.  I replied asking if he liked his grits with cheese or with butter.  He responded: yes.  Ha! This isn’t the version I made him (which was not vegan).  This is, however, the version I reinvented for myself on Saturday night. I had zucchini and squash from the farmer’s market…and the vision of them sautéed in oil and vinegar on top a steaming hot bed of cheesy… Read more >

Mutual failures

The couple that fails together stays together.  Wait.  That’s not right.    Yesterday’s green black monster was epically disgusting.  I actually gagged when I tasted it.  I know what you’re thinking…Elise, WHY on Earth did you taste that necrotic infested swamp slush?  Good question.  Sometimes things look gross but actually taste really good!  Case in point: home-made log seitan.  So I thought maybe this was one of those things.  But it was not.  Very very not.  If anyone is considering buying this brand of protein powder, DON’T.  Just don’t.  Unless you have a fondness for… Read more >

Sharing is caring

I have a few things I’m realllly into right now, and I feel like sharing them. 1. Our weekend farmer’s market routine. I got 3 bunches of kale, 4 zucchini, 2 yellow squash, 3 ears of corn and a partridge in a pear tree for $9. 2. Ally McBeal I never watched this show when it was on in the 90’s but I am loving it right now.  I had the urge to start watching it after reading Portia De Rossi’s book (whoa intense btw).  Fortunately Netflix has the show on demand.  Being sick (read:… Read more >

By the seat of my pants

While I enjoy others cooking for me, I also like making my own food because I want my meals a very specific way am a control freak change my mind multiple times while cooking. Stove-top oats are a prime example.  More often than not, I have no clue where my bowl of oatmeal is heading when I start boiling water.  Yesterday morning I wasn’t in the mood for anything too sweet, so I decided to make (plain) Greek yogurt my breakfast’s main ingredient.  Sometimes tangy trumps sweet.  After adding the yog to a bowl, I… Read more >

Kiwi cure

I browse the health section of the Huffington Post online almost every day.  It’s one of my favorite online sources because they have an assortment of lighter stories mixed in with more controversial opinions pieces.  Today I read about a study in which IBS sufferers who ate two kiwis a day for 4 weeks found they had significant relief in irritable bowel related symptoms (most notably constipation).  Interesting. How cool would it be if the solution to all my GI woes were as simple as enjoying a couple of kiwis on a daily basis? Needless… Read more >
