Sunday Strawberry and Saturday Night Pesto…

Happy Sunday everyone. I don’t know about you – but I am freezing, and I’m wearing a few layers. I am pretty much ready for winter to be over. However, tomorrow they are forecasting a high of 47 degrees – gosh, that is almost 50! I am excited. The Red Sox are in Spring training…… Continue reading Sunday Strawberry and Saturday Night Pesto…

What to do with left over vegetables…

I never knew using left over vegetables could be so easy… For the last two days (Monday night’s dinner and today for lunch) I have been enjoying my left over vegetable stir fry, baked tofu and brown rice dish: This was a seriously good meal that I had just made on a whim. I honestly…… Continue reading What to do with left over vegetables…

If you were a cookbook, where would you hide?

This morning I have searched almost my entire house for a cookbook. It is yet to be found. My mom has started searching, too. I am so annoyed and confused. I just cannot figure out where my new Bittman cookbook has walked off to. I have not even made a recipe from it yet! :(…… Continue reading If you were a cookbook, where would you hide?

Almonds, apricots, I even chopped up a few chocolate chips… Mixed the apricots, almonds with granola and brown rice cereal. I heated up the almond butter and agave on the stove top until they…… Continue reading Granola Bars…

Football

When I am nervous I tend to cook and bake. I was (and still am) super nervous today. I do not like it when the Patriots play the Jets. I do not like it when the Patriots play the Steelers, either – but I am taking it one game at a time. I am not…… Continue reading Football

Old Habits Die Hard…

I have fallen right back into one of my old habits during the last couple of days of my vacation. Naturally, I am such a night person. Especially when it comes to reading, writing and blogging. I am so much more productive after 10:30 or 11 o’clock in the evening. However, during the week (when…… Continue reading Old Habits Die Hard…

My First Strata!

Hey All. For as long as I can remember, I have been wanting to make a strata. I have had strata once or twice in my life.

Still Hot…

It is still so hot. But I’ve managed to do some eating, just barely. Breakfast yesterday: Chobani vanilla yogurt with blueberries, Kashi go lean crunch and a sprinkle of cinnamon: Along side a piece of Arnold’s double protein bread and raspberry jam. The next thing I had to eat was at dinner – and it…… Continue reading Still Hot…
