I am not certain how much longer I can label my dishes with “Mexican” or “Indian-inspired”, etc. because it is really really boring. i toyed with calling this “Frida’s Quinoa Salad” but then I figured people would think that Frida Kahlo was making quinoa salad. She was a wonderful cook, but I highly doubt she had [...]

These were pretty fab, and made enough to that I had leftovers for breakfast the next day. plan was for me to sleep in a little late, and then grab my pancakes and get to work. Unfortunately I came down with a bad case of the allergies, or a head cold. not sure which, but [...]

I don’t have much to talk about food wise here, but I did want to show you all photos from my vacation back home. Hope you enjoy! Seriously, I thought there was a clown car circling the block at 5 A.M. (and FYI “Sweet Tea” is NOT a Texas thing) My favorite places in Texas: [...]

Yesterday I was at Trader Joe’s and almost picked up a box of Gorilla Munch. I haven’t had a bowl of cereal in a year and a half, and that last bowl was some Trader Joe’s High Fiber cereal that was supposed to help get the anesthesia out of my body. So what’s so bad [...]

I just wanted to show you some of the food that I had for my birthday. Mainly because it was SO GOOD. Also to show that I do make exceptions to my normal nutritional plan, and I just get back on it as soon as the special day is over…or special days as my birthday [...]

I only have until 8:45 tonight left in my 20′s, and I admit that while i am a tad sorry to see them go, I am very optimistic about this new decade. I keep hearing from people that the 30′s are better than the 20′s, and to be fair my 20′s weren’t all that fantastic [...]

I made my own coconut butter last night! Long gone at my days of wishing I could just pay for a $9 jar of white glory! Here’s the thing though. 2 cups of flaked coconut turns into about 3/4 cup coconut butter so honestly $9 isn’t all that bad of a price. I didn’t take [...]

I mentioned in a previous post that I am supposed to eat seaweed everyday. I love seaweed salad, but they usually have sugar in them. So do many of the roasted nori snacks, and I don’t find just plain seaweed to be all that palatable. I was at Whole Foods last Saturday and came across [...]

I have mentioned before that I often don’t post because I eat a lot of the same stuff over and over again and that gets repetitive for everyone. But I thought I’d just post what I made for dinner the other night. I was eating alone and so I tend to make a lot of [...]

I have been experimenting again. I loved my last batch of nut butter so much I had to add even more goodness. For those of you who aren’t into twitter (or who don’t follow me) I made a batch of Brazil nut- cashed butter last week and it was divine. I used 8oz of each [...]
