Ok, so anyone remember me talking about my favorite Greek Place? No? Have I even mentioned it? I can’t even remember for sure, but there is this great little family owned Greek hamburger joint that I adore. They make the best falafel I have ever had, and since I stopped eating most meat when I [...]

First things first! Averie is giving away some chia seeds!!! Go enter her giveaway ! The weekend weather here in Seattle was absolutely glorious. I took my mother out for breakfast at Flying Apron where we shared a Berry flying Apron, a PB Joy, and an Asian kale salad. I think we got the salad [...]

I learned something this weekend. maple syrup is REALLY expensive. No wonder people are overjoyed with agave nectar, it is about 1/3rd the price or maple syrup (Kind of like corn syrup vs. sugar). But you know me, I don’t do the agave. So maple syrup it was, and the maple syrup alone for my [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

This is not a blog to boast about what a wonderful Valentine’s Day I had (though it was the best I have ever had), it is more a reminder to me of why I eat the way I do, and hey if you want to feel better yourself you might just test it out for [...]

Zahrah is Arabic for “Blooming Flower”, and that is a beautifully descriptive name to give such a wonderful dish. For New Years Eve dinner Matt took me to this great little restaurant in Bellevue. For those not familiar with the area, Bellevue is East of Seattle, on the other side of Lake Washington. We had [...]

My weekend turned out to be quite full after all. I did cut some things out as I didn’t want to overstress myself, but I still kept myself quite busy. Friday I stopped by my friend Betsey’s to purchase some of her homemade goodies. She has a lovely little Etsy store where she sells her [...]

Seattle has been experiencing a “cold snap” this week, and by “cold snap” I mean it is crazy cold for Seattle.  I don’t think it has gotten much above freezing in the past week, and my body isn’t used to it! Last night I decided I was going to just soldier through and go on [...]
