Pumpkin & Pomegranate

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 [...]

So i mentioned that I am going to have another blog for non-foodey things. I am just going to use my old tumblr account for this because…well because it is already there. So, for those of you who are interested, direct yourselves to: ChocolateandChile Be warned, I cannot guarantee that I will never offend you [...]

I apologize for the photo you are about to see, but only sort of. You see it doesn’t look nearly as good as it tastes, and the recipe for one of the ingredients makes up for the not so photogenic food. This was my breakfast: The fact that the photo was taken with my phone [...]
