Green thumb

Literally. Who knew massaging kale could turn your nails green!? I’ve been avoiding roasting beets due to the skin dyeing side effects, but this is almost as unattractive.  At least my patients won’t be as scared off by this color though.  Green nails are one thing, I suspect red hands could be interpreted a bit differently… So, about that kale. Stemmed. Scrubbed. Ripped. Oiled. Rubbed. And that’s how the base of this beauty came to be! The rest of the ingredients need no introduction as they are all hippie standards, quinoa, carrots, and tofu. But… Read more >

False Expectations

I can say with 99% certainty I will only be eating store bought bagels for the rest of my life.  Making them from scratch was a nice bucket list item that I can now check off and turn my back on forever.    I was led to believe this process would be simple.  Ahem, I’m looking at you kid.   Sure, they may look half-way decent, but that’s because I’m showing you the good one.  The show pony.  The swan among the batch of ugly ducklings.   In total I wound up with two semi-decent… Read more >

Toasty grits

I’m not really a savory breakfast kind of girl, but every once in a while the mood strikes. Cheesy grits are pretty awesome, but unless you add a considerable amount of salt and fat, they can be a little bland. I wouldn’t dream of posting a recipe that’s not heart healthy in the month of February, so in lieu of cheese and sodium, I’m going to teach you a trick to add flavor without clogging your arteries. Grab your pot, turn on the stove and set it on the burner to get hot. No water…. Read more >

Super Sunday

You know it.   Family and friends (and regular readers) know I’m into football, so it’s no surprise I scheduled myself off for this entire weekend.  Priorities people! Sadly, neither the Pats nor the Giants really do it for me.  I think Tom Brady is too pretty and I think Eli just rides the coat tails of the older Mannings. I’ll still be watching the game though.  Obviously.  Who are you rooting for?  Or are you also apathetic about the match-up? I’m ready for next year’s season.  If only the Packers and Niners could play… Read more >
