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 […]

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 […]

welcome 2012!

On January 2, 2012 By

Well, I’m usually not one for New Year’s resolutions (although, the interwebs might say otherwise). However, this year, when my future sister-in-law (F-SIL®*) suggested this cleanse, I eagerly signed on. Our motto for the year: work hard, eat clean and talk dirty!

When’s the last time I’ve posted a real food recipe? […]

And like other blank palettes (muffins, pancakes), what I really love about it is that it’s so versatile. You never have to have the same oatmeal twice. It’s also breakfast super-fuel; full of fiber and protein to […]

the smell of soup season

On September 14, 2011 By

Nature giveth and she taketh away.

I think she took summer.

It took a long time for summer to finally make its appearance in the Pacific Northwest, so I couldn’t help but feel a little slighted last night, as I begrudgingly pulled an extra blanket onto the bed. But while I long to soak up […]

millions of peaches…

On August 25, 2011 By

Wait, are you wondering about the birthday treat giveaway? Well, I’m still taking ideas, as I have 2 more weeks to go before the big day! And remember, it doesn’t have to be cake. Cookies, brownies, pies… the options are endless! So keep ’em coming!

So, I have sad news. I am not at […]

pressure cookin’!

On June 14, 2011 By

This video is a long time in the making. After years of hearing fears, urban legends and other general belly aching about pressure cookers, I decided it was time enough to put this silliness to rest and demonstrate how truly easy it is to make awesome food using a pressure cooker. I assure you, I’m […]
