No meat, no smelly feet
The Pescatarian Pantry
I often get asked, “what do you eat? What’s in your pantry?” Well, I keep lots of dried beans (black, kidney, garbanzo) and lentils on hand at all times. I also keep a variety of protein packed grains such as: farro, cracked wheat, brown rice, quinoa, red winter berries. I store these in airtight jars […]
Ginger & Flax Mango Smoothie
I needed an afternoon blood sugar pick me up and this is what I came up with: Ginger & Flax Mango Smoothie 2 Frozen mango & lime squares (it’s what I had on hand, it’s ingredients are simple-puréed organic mango and organic lime juice. Actually it’s baby food-who cares?) Strawberries Blackberries Half a banana Grated […]
Inexpensive Vegetarian Eating
When I hear people say that it’s expensive to be vegetarian, I laugh. It is expensive if you are buying a lot of packaged and convenience foods. But if you shop for bulk grains and nuts, and follow produce deals, you will actually decrease your grocery bill. At least I have. I do eat fish, […]
Yoga, Kale, & Middle Eastern Fiction
After what seemed to be a short weekend, Monday crept in on my Sunday. Sigh. But an enjoyable Monday nonetheless. After spending time with my grandmother in Montgomery shopping, all hale the non ATL venue, my husband and I brought mashed potatoes to their most healthy state. Non è possibile, ma… but with kale, all […]
Fire Roasted Tomato Basil Soup & Tiramisu
Cooking is one thing that I will always love. It is my out. I dream of a huge kitchen with open windows, industrial style appliances, and a big long dining room table to entertain. I would choose a larger kitchen over a larger living room any day. We have enjoyed homemade pizza with flax seed […]
Fragoli & a Keytar
Give me a bowl of sun ripened sweet fragoli and I will give you a Non-Pentecostal side-hug [insert Springville Camp memories here]. Give me 2 bags full of fresh locally grown produce from the farmers market for half of what it retails for at the chain grocery stores, I will whip you up a colorful, […]
HealthIER No Bake Chocolate & PB Cookies
Remember those no bake cookies on the side of the Hershey’s Cocoa box? The tasty ones with oatmeal and peanut butter? Yea, you know the ones. Try this tasty alternative to the classic recipe and get some good fiber and flax oil in the process 🙂 I promise you can’t taste the healthy add-ins an […]
A Turk, an Italian, and an Indian walk into a…
A Turk, an Italian, and an Indian walk into a… Just kidding. But these nationalities do have something in common. A dish from each was featured on our dinner plate! We had tabouli, baked cannellini beans in tomatoes, and baked samosas. Oh, and I gave those sweet potato and millet muffins a trial run. Success! […]
Candied Ginger Pears
I came to a revelation last night. As my husband and I cuddled on the couch, I realized I was hungry. After all I had eaten, how could I be hungry? Those starchy white potatoes broke down into sugar and made me hungry. So thats when I heated up some brown basmati rice and sprinkled […]
Going Veg, Day 5 & 6 *farmers market*
Yesterday we celebrated being married for 6 months 🙂 Yay us! We decided to splurge and eat out, so we ended up going to Panera. We could eat & I could work on editing my mother’s book afterwards, since I had Friday off from work. I had some yummy pesto vegetable soup and a greek […]
