Cheater soup

What do you get when you combine operation pantry clean out and limited culinary skills?  Cheater soup. I’m pretty good at making soup when I’m standing on the shoulders of giants like Dr. McDougall.  He’s pretty much my idol.   Cheater Soup [vegan & gluten free] 18 oz. lentil soup (2 cups) 1 cup rice 1 cup water/vegetable broth 1/4 cup oil Add contents to crock pot and cook on low for 3 hours.  Voila!  The rice absorbed the delicious flavors of the soup and added some extra carbs to give it staying power and… Read more >

Day 5: Mimosas & Mexican

We’d been looking forward to using our juicer since we first saw that the apartment had one.   Not for juice…for mimosas!!    Duh.  Don’t you know how much I love champagne?  It’s really the only way I drink OJ.   Actually, fresh squeezed juice is exempt from that previous statement.   Here’s the problem.  I had just gotten back from the gym, so I was already slightly dehydrated.  On top of that I hadn’t had anything for breakfast yet.  Can you tell where I’m going with this?? I got waaaasted. Ha.  :)  It was… Read more >

If you give a mouse a cookie…

Did you have that book when you were little?    Well, if you give a blogger a cookie…she’s gonna ask for some for her readers…   Especially when they are delicious and full of healthy ingredients.  I mean, Erin Baker’s “cookies” may as well be a bowl of oats based on the ingredients listed.  They best part is that they taste like dessert.  Chewy, oaty, yummy dessert.  I’m a raisin oatmeal girl myself, so the chocolate chunk raisin was my favorite.  I like the fact that the entire cookie is one serving (I hate when… Read more >

Hungry Hungry

These past few days my appetite has been ravenous.  [I haven’t done any form of exercise, though, so it’s definitely odd.  But my body is far from normal, so I just went with it.]   Take breakfast for instance, usually a tupperware of oatmeal with the fixins will hold me over pretty well. But I had this before I left for the hospital and was already hungry for my next meal by the time my shift started at 7 am.  WTF? I had a banana and breakfast cookie and praised the Lord when I saw… Read more >

Millet meals

This week’s grain was millet. It’s small, gluten free, and has a cornbread like taste. I make it in the rice cooker, like I do with everything else, using the same water to grain ratio as rice, quinoa, and couscous.  Honestly, it’s impossible to mess things up in a rice cooker. This one just so happened to be especially on the money…because when I went to scoop it into a tupperware it came out as easy as could be, no spoon required.  Literally. This is from flipping the bowl upside down.  I actually attempted to… Read more >
