A few days of hippie bowls

Going into the weekend I had all my meals ready to go.  Starting with Thursday night, I made a typical hippie bowl.   If I had to choose a combination of ingredients to eat forevermore it would probably be these: quinoa, carrots, corn, seitan, avocado     I recently got a question about the ratio of grain to veg to protein in my “hippie bowl” type meals.  In all honesty, I don’t consciously compose them with a specific ratio in mind, but if I had to guess I’d say it is pretty much 1:1:1.  Sometimes… Read more >

They aren’t all amazing

I think there’s a misconception about how I eat.  For every new recipe I create and share with you guys, there are five others I don’t show because they look like this… Oatmeal with melty peanut butter, cinnamon, and raisins.  Not exactly reinventing the wheel with this one.   I don’t have magic spells that bake cakes while I’m at work (Sleeping Beauty reference anyone?), nor do I have ingenuity oozing from my pores.  Especially after 12 hours of nursing.   Simple is fine by me.   So whether it’s oats with the works or… Read more >

Dreaming of bread

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!

When bread is more important than looking pretty

Have you ever had Eggs Benedict?  Don’t worry, there’s no hollandaise to be found in this post.    Truthfully, I don’t even know what’s in hollandaise sauce, but I think there’s butter and some other artery clogging stuff.  Not for me. I’ll tell you what IS for me though.  Bread. If I had to limit myself to one food for the rest of time it would probably be bread.  Meh.  I will probably take that statement back the second I remember something else I frequently binge on.  But for now let’s just go with it. … Read more >

Clean Food Cornbread (with a side of eggs)

Another Clean Food success story.    Since I was working on the 25th, Kyle made me Christmas dinner, which included Terry Walters’ skillet cornbread recipe.  He made it in a casserole dish instead, with a few changes, indicated below.
