My latest quinoa salad was fantastic, and the best part was that it yielded way more than I expected! What’s a girl to do? This was an everything but the kitchen sink everything in the fridge kind of salad…including a Strawberry Shortcake coloring book. It had leftover broccoli, leftover sweet potatoes, leftover quinoa, and a new product too! Quorn Naked Chik’n Cultets do have trace amounts of egg whites, so they aren’t vegan. But I had never seen them before and they were on sale, so why the heck not? Here they are in all… Read more >

My titles are just oh-so-clever, aren’t they? In my previous post, I professed my love for Terry Walters and her brilliant cookbook, Clean Food. Well, as you can see, I just can’t get enough of her recipes. And since quinoa is one of my favorite foods ever (and thanks to Costco we just bought enough to feed all of the Middle East), it was an obvious choice for dinner. In true Elise fashion, I made several adjustments to the recipe. Does anyone ever follow them verbatim? Based on what we had on hand, our personal… Read more >

No seriously. She has never let me down; not once. I love her recipes so much that her cookbook, Clean Food, was the only one that escaped a 3 month hibernation (in a So Cal storage facility). Everything else was packed up in NYC, shipped off to a remote location in LA, and has been waiting for us to move into our new Santa Monica apartment…but I just couldn’t part with this one. Sure, my SoniCare toothbrush I forget, but not my beloved cookbook. Priorities people, priorities. Anyways, in an effort to expand my in-laws’… Read more >

Another sunny day 🙂 I think spring might be here to stay, yes? My camera spazzed out, and the photo evidence of my work eats are nowhere to be found. So all I have is dinner and dessert for ya. Ok? Here’s the day starting at 7:45 pm (give or take a few minutes). With the new season, comes a new chapter in Terry Walters’ cookbook. I love Clean Food. It’s my go-to book for ideas. They are simple but delicious. After the hummus heavy day I had, I definitely wanted a lighter dinner…and the… Read more >

Happy (belated) Thanksgiving! Quite frankly, I delayed writing this post because I felt like everyone else’s thanksgiving eats were way more blog-worthy (and there were a LOT of them). Plus, I didn’t get home from work until after 8 pm and all I wanted to do at that point was put on my PJs, watch football (slash Home Alone), and stuff my face (not in that order). On a holiday such as this, it would feel weird to eat before giving thanks, and so I feel as though I should acknowledge what I’m grateful for… Read more >
