Arroz con Pollo

February 7, 2012

One a scale of 1 to romantic… where do you fall? I fall at the medium-low level… let’s call if a 4.6. Go easy on the candle light, long stem roses, and limo rides (unless there’s a hot tub in back). I don’t need jewelry, but diamonds are always nice (it’s a paradox, I dunno…). [...]

Green Pea Pesto Ravioli

January 13, 2012

This is total brain food. If you think you know what I mean by that… think again. This is the sort of dish that you can make seated at your kitchen counter, or at your the desk that you’ve cleared off, or sitting on the floor beside the coffee table. This is the sort of [...]

A Balanced Breakfast

January 5, 2012

Yes… it’s that time. Vacation is oooooovvvveeeerrrr. Our inboxes are filling up. Official mail (you know, like bills) are overshadowing the friend greetings and holiday cards in our mail boxes, and the gym sure is calling… isn’t it? Yea. That carefree week between Christmas and New Year’s Day is long gone. Major bummer. Before we [...]

Spinach Feta Blood Orange Salad

January 2, 2012

My grandmother used to have a house dress, house hair, and house shoes. She made no apologies for boiling her fresh vegetables half way to kingdom come. She sat with her Bible at every spare moment.

Apple and Pomegranate Brussels Sprout Salad

November 2, 2011

Note: It’s past midnight… and I’ve lost my mind raiding my chocolate drawer. Second Note: I have a chocolate drawer… it’s an occupational perk and hazard. Third Note: I used to have a chocolate drawer. Just wrappers now. Fourth Note: Why does Kim Kardashian insist on making such a joke of her life? It must [...]

Vegan Cream of Broccoli Soup

October 20, 2011

This is the soup I suggest you eat this weekend after you devour three doughnuts at breakfast, and before you eat tacos and french fries for dinner. It has broccoli and raw cashews in it.

Dear Success, I got you. I’ve got a jar of Sharpie markers on my desk, a frozen coffee cake in my freezer just waiting to be baked, a handful of people tell me they love me, and there’s spinach in my bowl. See? I’ve got you, Success. We’re totally roommates… and I’m totally not letting [...]

Avocado and Edamame Salad

September 28, 2011

You know what’s not a good idea? Shopping for jeans after an ‘eat weekend’. Don’t act like you don’t know what an ‘eat weekend’ is. Don’t act like you haven’t ever eaten nothing but spaghetti and meat balls, doughnuts, onion rings, and mango margaritas for an entire weekend. Surely I’m not the only one. [...]

New Podcast is ready for your ears! The Grass is Always Greener. Dudes… it’s a good one! I meant to make cake. I meant to make whipped cream. I meant to buy fresh raspberries. I mean to smash the three things together into a large bowl and eat it all… and then I made salad. [...]

Carrot Apple Ginger Soup

April 27, 2011

Sometimes I just want to eat a color. …Does that make sense? Does that ever happen in your brain? Usually I want to eat things that are green (kale), milky (coffee), made of booze, made of chocolate, or made of pie. For some reason, yesterday I wanted something orange and spicy. I made soup. Because [...]
