Hi there Blog Readers. The other day I adapted another recipe from a Cooking Light magazine. Their original recipe was a polenta, tomato, cannelloni and rosemary dish. I added kale to our recipe for more vitamins and bulk (and because we had some in the refrigerator and I wanted to make sure to use it).…… Continue reading Polenta, Beans, Tomatoes and Kale
Happy Monday evening, everyone. Today I got right back to the grind. I was out on vacation for twelve whole (amazing) days. It was wonderful. But this morning when my alarm went off at 5:30 AM, I realized I had to get back into the swing of things and back to the grind. Thankfully I…… Continue reading The Grind
Today is the first day of Autumn – my favorite season! I think that Autumn is beautiful. Weather wise you cannot ask for a better combination: the temperature most of the time is lovely, the mornings are crisp and cool, it sometimes heats up in the afternoon, and things cool right down in the evenings…… Continue reading Autumn
It has been several months since my last blog entry. In the five years of the blog, I have never taken such a break from writing about food, and I missed the blog quite a bit. After a while, I started to think that I did not have much to contribute to the food and…… Continue reading June 24, 2013
Greetings, blog readers. How has your week been? My week has been full of birthday celebrations. Such a busy week, I can’t believe how much fun I had! My actual birthday was Thursday – but I had my first cake on New Year’s Day. I had one day back to work on Wednesday, and then…… Continue reading Lots of Birthday Celebrations
Wow, Happy Boxing Day, everyone! I cannot believe it has been almost a month since my last blog entry. It was all I could do to commute, work, run, cook, eat well and get enough sleep to stay healthy these last couple of weeks. It has been fun (for the most part) but I was…… Continue reading Boxing Day
Hi there – I am just back from a trip to Burlington, Vermont. I have to tell you – I love Vermont, and especially Burlington. I spent most of my time at a conference this week, but I still had a little bit of time to re-explore the city after the conference concluded each day.…… Continue reading A few days in Burlington, VT
The last two days I have eaten a lot of the same, wonderful food. Pumpkin bread for breakfast as previously posted. A lovely salad with turkey and cashews for lunch and a big bowl of Greek yogurt with blueberries with a handful of Kashi Go Lean Crunch for an afternoon snack. The salad was spinach,…… Continue reading Lunch and a snack
So the Olympics have only been on TV for four days (I am not counting the opening ceremonies – although I guess I should, because I stayed up really late watching those, too) and I am exhausted! I cannot go to sleep if the Olympics are on. I used to always be on vacation when…… Continue reading Tomorrow
I have always thought that coming down with a summer cold is cruel and unusual punishment. The summer in New England always seems kind of short (personally, I’m ok with that because spring and fall is my favorite time of year) but who wants to be sick during the nice summer weather? Ugh. Since Sunday…… Continue reading Summer Colds…
