This meal was entirely centered around the smallest thing on the dish. The babaganoush! If you want to make a real legit baba ganoush, David Lebovitz is your man. I had read his recipe long ago and thought I could go off memory. I totally botched it (forgetting almost every ingredient aside from the eggplant) but the main thing I took away from his recipe (and did implement in my version) was charring the skin first. We have an electric coil stove which is not ideal, but I made it work. Kyle came home… Read more >

How smart is Costco? I mean, they charge for membership. Then they entice you with samples. And they have EVERYTHING. All for a cheaper price than you’d find (almost) anywhere else. But here’s the downside. You don’t need a 10 pound block of cheese or 50 veggie burgers at once. Unless you’re about to cater a party, for vegetarians, that’s an insane amount of food to have at your house. And really, who has enough fridge/freezer space for that? So how do you use Costco (or Sam’s Club or whatever bulk store you shop at)… Read more >

This weekend was just plain awesome. I don’t know what else to say. My sister came to visit. My friends threw me a baby shower. And I just felt so loved. And fortunate. Things are good. Thursday night was tree decorating and burrito bar. On Friday, my sister arrived! Hooray 🙂 While she was doing the oh-so-hideous I-5 drive, I woke up early, made breakfast (the standard egg and GF bread with Earth Balance), and read. I had a snack a little later. Rice cakes with nut butter & dried fruit is becoming… Read more >

Contrary to what my posting may indicate, I do still work! Sorry I’ve been withholding my packed eats from you guys. I have only been taking pictures of 50% of them, though, so here’s what I’ve got. Hope this helps you with some ideas! Oats. Veggies. Pretzels. Sabra hummus (x2). Lasagna (leftover). Cookies. Apple. Candied ginger. Oat preference as of late: nuts, cinnamon & dried cherries. When the cherries soak overnight they plump up to get to be the size of full cherries. It’s pretty cool. Now that we are meal planning, my real real… Read more >

I always feel a little weird about these blog award things. I’m not saying I get them all the time, but I do get nominated every so often. And I like it. It feels good to be recognized for something I put my heart and soul into day after day. That said, I feel pretty odd showing off said awards in a post. I mean. You guys are already readers. You come to the site by choice, so presumably you enjoy reading what I write or cook or whatever. I really doubt there are people… Read more >
