Caramel apple messy face

I just finished eating this… Not the whole thing.  I started with the portion on the right, but the caramel was soooo gooey and delicious that I ended up picking off most of the caramel, chocolate, nutty coating on the other portion. There was SO much caramel between the chocolate layer and the apple that I could twist the entire fruit around inside the chocolate shell.  If you’re wondering how it tasted, imagine the best candy bar ever with a delicious crunchy, tangy apple on the side.  Can you even believe that I haven’t had… Read more >

Svelte smoothie

Since becoming veg(ish), I’ve been trying to teach Kyle about nutrition so he gets adequate amounts of everything – macronutrients, vitamins, minerals, etc.  It’s not that it’s hard to do when you’re avoiding meat, it’s just that he doesn’t have a health background and he’s new at it.   In addition to listening to Jillian’s podcasts, he’s been reading Brendan Brazier’s books…along with this book that I just got him. Becoming Vegan (the GI one is for my own research) So anyway, he’s been tracking his protein intake which made me think about my own… Read more >

Tortilla therapy

My sisters and I were my mom’s sous-chefs growing up and one of my favorite dishes she made was an enchilada casserole because we got to rip up corn tortillas and then make layers out of the pieces.  It was so fun tearing them up and then putting them back together again like puzzle pieces. I like destruction and I love puzzles, so you can see why I was a fan of the recipe. For a while now I’ve been meaning to make a casserole that uses corn tortillas as a layer. And I finally… Read more >

That’s marriage

Kyle is the best husband.  I don’t have to worry about this going to his head because he doesn’t really read HHH I got to fly home from Nor Cal, but Kyle had to drive.  Six hours on the I-5 is pretty miserable.  And on top of that, he was nice enough to lug all my heavy Christmas presents home.  And anything and everything else I didn’t want to carry. Like six jars of jam. Weee!  My mom makes the best freakin’ jams and now we are stocked for a long long time. And that… Read more >

When bread is more important than looking pretty

Have you ever had Eggs Benedict?  Don’t worry, there’s no hollandaise to be found in this post.    Truthfully, I don’t even know what’s in hollandaise sauce, but I think there’s butter and some other artery clogging stuff.  Not for me. I’ll tell you what IS for me though.  Bread. If I had to limit myself to one food for the rest of time it would probably be bread.  Meh.  I will probably take that statement back the second I remember something else I frequently binge on.  But for now let’s just go with it. … Read more >
