souper easy!

On March 31, 2011 By

Some­times avoid­ing going to the gro­cery store is a nui­sance, like when you end up liv­ing off of stale cereal and ques­tion­ably old soy milk.

Other times, it forces you to use up ran­dom things in your fridge, on the edge of extinc­tion, and deliv­ers deli­cious results.

Thank­fully this is the result of the lat­ter scenario, […]

mexi-can– in a flash!

On March 10, 2011 By

Have you ever seen these A Man, A Can, A Plan books? They are basi­cally cook­ing pic­ture books. I feel like call­ing it cook­ing is even a stretch, as they are truly food assem­bly books– a can of this, a box of this and voilà! Dinner!

I used to scoff at them for […]

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 […]

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 […]

bachelor living with Edgar

On October 7, 2009 By

Okay, so in the last post I men­tioned that I’m not much of a girly-girl. And now here is more evi­dence to the contrary.

Jim was out of town last week­end and it made me think of a scene from an episode Sex and the City (yes, I’m a huge SATC fan) where Carrie […]

dinner in a flash

On May 18, 2009 By

Okay, so I promise no posts with straw­ber­ries for awhile.

We are gath­ered here today to cel­e­brate the quick meal. The effort­less menu you can lean on after a long day at work. The din­ner you can throw together in a flash, espe­cially if you’ve planned and have some choice ingre­di­ents ready to go. […]

ham tube is dead to me

On April 12, 2009 By

So, a cou­ple of East­ers ago, I glazed a ham tube from Food Fight. The com­pany that made said ham tube went out of busi­ness and there is a new tube in town. I was so excited to glaze it up for Easter… and it was just sad, really.

First off, I […]

playing catch up

On March 31, 2009 By

Hello! I’ve been so busy that my cam­era has just been accu­mu­lat­ing pic­tures for the past few weeks. Last week I offi­cially fin­ished the book man­u­script (yay!!!!!!!) and got that sent off and last week was tech­ni­cally spring break, so I took some time off to just be wire­less. No inter­net, email, noth­ing, just relaxing. […]
