from under my rock…

On April 22, 2012 By

So yeah.

I had planned to have the tester site up by late March.

It’s now bor­der­ing on late April. And I’m cur­rently 3 lattes deep at a favorite local cafe while fran­ti­cally typ­ing, photo edit­ing and dis­tract­ing myself with Face­book and videos of big cats doing really cute shiz.

I’m clearly the most organized […]

nom! nom! news!

On March 9, 2012 By

Despite how quiet it’s been on the blog, lots of stuff has been going on at nom! head­quar­ters (aka my house). Out­side of the edi­ble, I will finally be grad­u­at­ing from col­lege (hal­lelu­jah!) at the end of this quar­ter and I recently started a yoga teacher train­ing pro­gram– both very good things (on […]

national pancake day– horray!

On February 28, 2012 By

My love of pan­cakes is deep and eter­nal. I’ll take them over waf­fles, any day. I’ll take them over crepes… most days.

So it brings me much joy to cel­e­brate a hol­i­day ded­i­cated to them, if by “cel­e­brate” we mean “for­get about and eat an Eng­lish muf­fin for break­fast”. Alas, there will be many pan­cakes in […]

cookies for breakfast!

On February 17, 2012 By

Blog reader Sher recently mes­saged me with a bak­ing chal­lenge of sorts. She was look­ing for a healthy, hearty break­fast cookie that she could feel good about giv­ing her kids, but that they would actu­ally, you know, eat.

Chal­lenge accepted, my friend. This was espe­cially timely because I’ve been in a bit of a […]

savoring the muffin (top)

On February 3, 2012 By

My muf­fin top is all that,
Whole grain, low-fat
You know you want a piece of that,
But I just want to dance

Ah, 30 Rock. You win some and you lose some, but dammit when you win, you win big. (Although my all-time favorite is Were­wolf Bar Mitz­vah.)

One of […]

fail + win = neutral?

On January 24, 2012 By

Here I am, hid­ing my shame behind a cute cat picture.

What shame you ask? Well, remem­ber my New Year’s cleanse. Yeah… well… it didn’t go over so well.

The best laid plans, I tell you.

BUT! There is good news. I’m keep­ing the details under wraps for awhile longer, but I am cur­rently work­ing on my […]

vegan baking class!

On January 10, 2012 By

The peo­ple in my life know my extreme weak­ness for Nordic Ware. Not only are they the cre­ators of the pan which yields my biggest cake weak­ness (the Bundt cake), they make many beau­ti­ful prod­ucts that make my flour-dusted knees weak, plus they are Amer­i­can made– Twin Cities made, in fact.

date-licious

On January 6, 2012 By

So this is a quick Treat of the Week that I feel is a cheat because:

1.) It’s not actu­ally my recipe
2.) It’s not so much a recipe as it is food assembly

Alas, it’s in align­ment with my cleanse. Oh yes, and it’s delicious.

I used this recipe, but […]
