This past week has been work heavy, which is why I’ve been doing more recipe posts. But my sister hates recipe posts prefers other material (and isn’t afraid to let me know it), so here’s a recap of my weekend. Starting with Friday… I made peanut butter. I made a spinach and pumpkin seed pate. I made bread. I made pancakes. I ate pancakes. I made seitan. I made tofu. And after spending most of the day in the kitchen, Kyle and I opted for a dinner out. We walked to… Read more >

Last weekend, I woke up in the middle of the night salivating. Why? Because of the delicious aroma of this loaf of bread. Blame it on the carbs, yo! Note to self: never again start a loaf of bread in the breadmaker as you are going to bed. If you’ve ever made bread, you probably know where I’m coming from because you know how fantastic it smells. Well apparently my dreaming self got a whiff of the fresh warm dough and wanted in on the action. I incorporated the smell into a dream and… Read more >

As you all well know, I pack my own food to bring to work every single day. Some days I don’t take photos because I have leftovers that I’ve already shared (or I’m just lazy). Sometimes I take pictures and then forget to post them, and then they pile up on my hard drive. <— I’m pretty sure I’m eerily close to a crash. Power lunching in 5…4…3…2…and go. Breakfast: overnight oats soaked with chia seeds, cinnamon and raisins Snack: Marchini almonds Not as good as regular almonds in my opinion. They… Read more >

My amazing guest blogs allowed me to take a hiatus from posting, but I was still snapping pictures for the good stuff. There’s no way I could share a week’s worth of food in one post, so I will limit it to the top three highlights worth sharing…all of which happen to start with the letter “B”. 1. Bread I’ve made probably 5 loaves since I last blogged. I’ve been changing the ratios of flours with each one. Some have been stellar (like the 2 pound loaf that I single-handedly polished off in one day)…while… Read more >

There’s nothing like a new food appliance to get you excited and inspired in the kitchen. After years of ooing and aahing over home-made breads, I finally made the plunge and got what I was lusting after. I did a fair amount of research prior to buying one. I wanted a reliable machine, but I didn’t wanna blow my bank account on some fancy schmancy professional breadmaker. I’m not going on Top Chef any time soon after all. And so I settled on the Sunbeam 2 lb. Breadmaker – model 5981. My maiden loaf was… Read more >
