I love love love quinoa. A gluten-free seed (not grain like most people think) that offers up hefty doses of manganese, magnesium, and protein. What’s not to love? It’s honestly not too tasty when eaten on its own, but throw in some veggies, fruits, nuts, oils, etc. and you have a masterpiece! There are oodles [...]
It’s true, I miss my kitchen. I miss muffins. I miss baking in general. As much as I do love every minute of our experiences while traveling (well, almost every minute-camping in the freezing cold rain and wind of Wellington didn’t exactly make my top 10 list), I do miss my kitchen and a consistently [...]
Raise your hand if you’ve ever opened the fridge about lunchtime and just stared. And stared . . . And stared . . . At nothing really. You’re hoping something really yummy will magically appear. Something deliciously healthy with enough protein to get you through the rest of the day. Right about now you’re wishing [...]
When I worked at my old job I had a super flexible schedule. I could work from home quite often and didn’t usually have to work nights or weekends. But every couple of months my turn in the rotation would come around to work a Dinner with the Doc event at Bosco’s. And I was [...]
It has been ridiculously snowy this winter in the South. Case in point: I’m sitting at the table right now looking out the window at 3-4 inches of snow on the ground. For the THIRD time this winter. Please note that a good snow like this may only happen once each winter in the South. [...]
I could tell you some great story about a family recipe that’s been handed down for generations. Or that this is the final perfection of a recipe I’ve been tweaking for months. But actually, this is the result of dumping some random ingredients from my refrigerator into a crockpot one morning, then hoping & praying [...]
We’ve been on a tighter budget these days since we are (drum roll please….) saving up to spend a year traveling New Zealand! (You can follow our journey on our travel blog: There & Back Again) At any rate, I had yet to get to the grocery store the other night and was faced with [...]
I feel like I’ve referenced this recipe about 14 times without actually sharing it. (Ok, so 14 is an overstatement. But it was at least twice.) This recipe is so enigmatic. It’s simple (6 ingredients), but complicated at the same time (as you’ll see below). It’s fried food, yet it’s healthy. So what makes it [...]
You know those days when you open the refrigerator and just stand there staring into it? You’re hungry. But you don’t feel like taking the time to cook anything fancy. You’re not in the mood to throw together a salad. Or to snack on veggies & hummus. But that’s all you see in the fridge. [...]
Let it be known this was the first time I’ve ever cooked with lentils. I know, I know…..what kind of health nut are you? Just goes to show that I’m not as crazy as people might think. (Or, maybe I am. It’s definitely debatable.) At any rate, when my sweet husband bought me this Street [...]
