Its been awhile since I posted about my culinary delights that I love to create…so here goes one. A couple of months ago, I was wandering through the Thomas Dux (for my Minneapolis friends, think Kowalski’s) across the street and came across a jar of Loving Earth Coconut Nectar. I’ve not seen or heard of […]
This week is complete chaos. Along came Wednesday, and I didn’t even realize Wednesday was happening until it was over. So that means this installment of “What I ate Wednesday”, is actually “What I ate Thursday.” Breakfast: 557 cal As I usually do, I started my day with coffee, but due to my busy meeting […]
This has been a crazy week! Shit is hitting the fan at work, which makes eating healthy and at reasonable times difficult. Today was, literally, back to back meetings. I did remember to keep track of what I was eating, however. Juice (to take my vitamins with and hold me over to breakfast): 88 cal, […]
This topic is inspired by (openly ripped off) Detoxinista, who is one of my favorite heathy/clean eating bloggers. I will not be staging my meals to look beautiful and more appealing, rather you’ll see what I ate, where I ate it, at whatever stage during the meal that I remembered to photograph it with my […]
One of the things I really miss is pickled okra. I used to eat about a jar each week of Louisiana Hot Pickled Okra back in Minneapolis. It’s such a great “free” snack when you’ve just arrived home from work starving and still have to cook dinner. On Sunday I was walking through the farmers […]
Today I spent the afternoon with a dear friend of mine. One of our stops was a cute little French bakery where she had a brownie that I was quite jealous of. After our manicures, we bummed around Port Melbourne a bit and I got the hankering to make cookies. Just before I left the […]
I have all this quinoa because I bought it for this one recipe once upon a time; there is a lot of it because I bought it at Target and it came in a 1 pound bag. Unfortunately, it turns out my fiancé hates quinoa. I can’t even trick him into eating it – I […]
I can make pizza crust, mashed potatoes and sushi rice out of cauliflower, why can’t I make fettuccine alfredo? So, I said to my fiancé, “Let’s get crazy with cauliflower!!” I always enjoy a variety of vegetables with my alfredo, so I dug through my refrigerator and found some for roasting and some for steaming. […]
It has been so cold out, that all we want to do is eat hearty meals. We really do not want, however, the extra layer of padding that goes along with this kind of eating. Tonight, I made one of our favorites, Risotto, in a healthier for us way. 1/2 butternut squash 1/2 cup wild […]
What do you do at 6:30 AM and yesterday you finished off the last of the lunch soup without making any more? Come up with something easy peasy. This ridiculous expression inspired this soup, which is quite good, if I do say so myself. 2 tbsp olive oil 1/2 medium onion. chopped 3 cloves garlic, minced 1 […]
