Bundles of mash

Last night I had dinner with my girls, Ethel and Alene. You’ve met them several times before. Get to know them, because now that I’m back in So Cal, they’ll be making frequent appearances. 🙂 This was my contribution to dinner. Pathetic. I did provide the recipe…but not really since it was in fact forwarded to me by my sister from Whole Foods. We kinda went rogue with the directions though…so here’s our adaptation. Photos first, recipe at the end… Arm workout #1 – avocado mashing Arm workout #2 – black bean mashing (source) I… Read more >

Paper Gangster

I am so sick of signing waivers, forms, consents, and agreements, I just want to start nursing! This morning I woke up bright and early to head to HR (again) for paperwork (again). I did manage to cross two things off my to-do list before hitting the road (I wish one of those things had been “pack up an extra cup of coffee for the road” because this was definitely a two cup kind of day…). I ended up stopping at Starbucks (shock). And of course I had an apple on stand by (shock). … Read more >

Still in progress

After getting back from a weekend at home, I made myself a ridiculously ambitious to-do list. Mondays already suck, this was overkill. Moody monday coffee. After the caffeine hit my brain I was feeling energetic and began to tackle my list with a carpe-diem-style vigor. Bring it. Breakfast went from the above, to the below in ~30 minutes. Butternut banana oat cakes Texture-wise it still needs perfecting, so for now no recipe, but I’ll get it up soon. It held me over for hours. Crazy talk, right? When lunch time rolled around I had alittle… Read more >

Remember?

While home: I forgot how much of a freak my dad is. I remembered how fun vegging with my fam is. I forgot how much it sucks to leave home. I remembered to pack lots of good healthy eats for the road trip back to LA. I forgot to bring utensils to eat said food. I remembered to ask the gas station attendant to help me out. I forgot gas stations expect people to be eating processed food crap (a spork!?) I forgot how boring the I-5 is. Then, I remembered how boring the I-5… Read more >

One hit, one miss

I made this a few days ago, but never got around to posting it…because I had a few issues along the way…so in case you thought all my recipes ended in success, here’s a bit of a reality check. I got this acorn squash at the farmer’s market. Issue #1 occurred with my lack of knife skills (slash intimidation with big shiny metal). If you feel comfortable making a crushing blow down on a squash, more power to you, but I’m not quite there yet in my culinary career. As a result, my cut ended… Read more >
