winner, winner, chickpea dinner!

On November 23, 2010 By

When there are lots of things going on in your life at the same time, the first thing to usu­ally go is a good meal plan. Quick fixes and faux meat tend to fill the gaps and I always can always feel it. It makes me slug­gish and just feel icky, frankly.

We’re mid-move […]

less space, more stuff!

On November 22, 2010 By

I like to think that I have a very well-equipped kitchen. From uten­sils and gad­gets to pans and hard­ware, I have a lot of really solid tools for my trade. Some might say I have too many kitchen toys… The things is, as you all know, find­ing places to put all this stuff. Stor­age! That […]

beige plate of yum

On November 19, 2010 By

This pic­ture is ter­ri­ble, but it sure hit the spot. It was my lunch today, cour­testy of Whole Foods deli. Some sweet potato cakes (made with sweet pota­toes, quinoa, brown rice, onions, cran­ber­ries and herbs), veg­gie stuff­ing and cran­berry sauce. Seri­ously, salty stuff­ing and cran­berry sauce are the only things I need to […]

Okay, I’m kind of suck­ing at MoFo. I think Novem­ber is not as good a month for it, it’s too busy. Plus, I have some news to share soon (no, I’m not preg­nant) that has been tying up my time, but that will come.

I love me some tomato soup. It’s my go-to food when I’m […]

food cart friday– and a giveaway!

On November 12, 2010 By

Port­land is known as the land of food carts. You lit­er­ally can’t pass an unused park­ing lot or street cor­ner with­out trip­ping over one. You think it would get old– I think it’s heaven.

For most peo­ple from other parts of the coun­try, the idea of eat­ing out of an old airstream, a renovated […]

gabbing with the star

On November 11, 2010 By

So, one of my blog­ger BBFs and I decided to swap blog space and inter­view each other. She devised some ques­tions for me to answer, I devised some ques­tions for her, we picked yummy recipes from each other’s blogs. (You can read my inter­view here.)

With­out fur­ther ado, let me intro­duce some­one you already […]
