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 >

Pa-pa-pa-pizza face

I probably like pizza just as much as the next person, however, it’s not a food I eat very option given the primary ingredient (cheese) doesn’t have a place in my diet.  But that’s no excuse (especially when cheese-less versions are just as delish and easy to make at home).    While attempting to fit all the latest Costco buys in the fridge/freezer, I came across this delish Udi’s pizza crust.  Sneaky bugger was hiding way in the back!   In case you missed my previous review of this product, I loved it. Udi’s pizza… Read more >

Quinoa granola

So.  Effing.  Tasty. This was so much more simple than I thought it would be. I’m never buying granola again (yeah right), but still…I know what I like in my cereal so why wouldn’t I make it to my exact specifications?  Right? My favorite things: 1. Clusters – textural variety is the most important part of cereal, oats, granola…shoot any food! 2. Crunch – none of this raw muesli bullsh!t, I want toasty! 3. Dried fruit and nuts – not one or the other, both. 4. Ratios – I like it when there are even… Read more >

Work, Presidents, Costco

I was going to try and throw down a quick recap of this “holiday” weekend, but alas, my ramblings got the best of me…it may be picture dense, but it’s not so quick.  Saturday was the main event, if you will, but Friday was pretty sweet too.  Kyle and I made a Costco run – always dangerous when you’re a foodie living on a student budget. Key purchases worth noting… Almond Butter (this jar is the size of my head) Sabra hummus x3 including spinach artichoke and roasted pine nut flavors plus individual mini tubs… Read more >

Q-Teaser

Just wanted to let you know what is coming your way… Any guesses? I haven’t forgotten about my alphebruary challenge…I’m just behind in recipe sharing.  This “q” treat, however, is VERY worth the wait.  I know everyone was wondering how those weird letters were going to be – particularly q, w, x, and z.  But shockingly, these haven’t even been my biggest obstacles.  There are some surprisingly letters (i, o, u – for instance) with minimal food options.  Damn vowels aside, I knew from day one of this month’s adventure that my q dish was… Read more >
