Hold me over oatmeal

  This bowl you see here?  It was something special.  I am determined to figure out the exact caloric and macronutrient breakdown because it kept me full for HOURS without weighing me down at all.  I finished it and felt both light as a feather and completely satisfied.  That’s a hard line to walk.  So what was in it? 1 cup dry whole rolled oats 2 cups water 1/4 avocado 1 tbsp nutritional yeast 2 fried eggs   I never wait for the water to boil before adding oats, I just throw them in at… Read more >

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!

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 >

A trail of oats & seeds

  When I was younger I hated nuts and seeds in all forms, but I especially detested them in bread.  When my parents took us to fancy restaurants it made me so sad when the waiter would bring out the bread basket and it looked like the rolls were infested with ticks.  [The image of my dad using a burned out match to get a tick to crawl out of our dog’s skin was clearly very traumatic for me]  Aaaand now that I’ve grossed you out with that lovely visual… Would you like a recipe?… Read more >
