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 >

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 >

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 >

Hi, I’m in a salad rut. [never a bad thing] As I’ve repeatedly blogged about, I’m a bit of a prep queen. Whenever I know I have several shifts in a row, I make sure to prepare healthy and flexible food options ahead of time. I hate coming home to an empty fridge (and after 12+ hours on my feet, I definitely don’t have the energy to start cooking a meal from scratch). This week’s examples: Lentils & wheat berries. [Soaking on stand-by] Veggies. [I always have greens, tomatoes, bell peppers, & carrots on… Read more >

You know what this means, right? It means the baking bug hit. It means the kitchen smelled fan-f$%#ing-tastic today. It means I finally sent off the great fundraising act quinoa granola winner’s package. [about effing time Elise] It means the apartment will have lingering coconut scents for the next few days…or until I next steam broccoli. 😉 Oops! Well, it was nice while it lasted. Baking for others feels like a transfer of love. Or a practice of self control. I sampled the three clusters that escaped. And that’s all! Let’s hope the postal… Read more >
