Mmmm…k

The titles I was considering with the letter “K” would all be flagged as inappropriate if taken out of context, so I will simply say, I had 3 different meals with “K” foods the other day.  The first was more of a breakfast snack really.  Enjoyed with a home-made cappuccino.  Make that a kappuccino (meaning it was dairy-free).  I frothed up a full cup of rice milk then heated it and added it to a shot of caffeine.  The foam took up half the cup, but the rest of the milk made the most rich… Read more >

Hearts and kisses (& a giveaway winner)

And all that mushy LOVE stuff. Right?  🙂 Truth be told, I’m pretty neutral on the whole Valentine’s thing…love it, hate it, love to hate it, whatever!  I think it’s cliché either way you look at it.  Side note: I used to think Valentine’s was so lame, so for the first two years that Kyle and I were dating I wouldn’t go out with him on the 14th because I just felt so hypocritical changing my tune once I had a BF.  This year, I consciously requested the day off of work, but I still… Read more >

Sights unseen

This weekend was so much fun.  I had Friday through Sunday off and Kyle was actually caught up with all his MBA shiz, so we got to spend a lot of time relaxing (together). I’ve shown you the d & e meals, but Superbowl Sunday was definitely the highlight.  PACKERS what whaaaat!    Friday morning started with an early breakfast for me.  I was up and at ‘em with the sun garbage trucks (which was fine since I had fallen asleep at 7:30 the night before).  I made myself a warm bowl of oats and buckwheat. … Read more >

You put the pear in the coconut

Is it just me, or does my coffee froth look like a person running? I could be going crazy.  It’s entirely possible.  It’s actually the more likely scenario.  Still, I couldn’t help but feel like my morning coffee was sending me subliminal messages.  I ignored them and went for a bike ride instead.  It was AWESOME.  Before hitting the road, I had a bowl of oats with a chopped apple.  Don’t be deceived by the above photo, though.  This batch of oats was anything but average. I bulked up the 1/2 cup rolled oats with… Read more >

Cach Dung Rice Noodles

How cute is this package?! I have no clue what it says, but dang if it isn’t adorable.  I’m guessing those (not at all Asian) people are doing something in the rice fields…that results in the production of these tasty rice noodles.  Nothing like a nice little tale on your pasta. It’s weird how the rice noodles are both pliable and crunchy when dried.  It seems like they should be stale.  Don’t worry, though.  This story has a happy ending… See?  Yummy.  🙂 Yesterday’s dinner was inspired by Lynn’s recent peanutty noodle dish, only it… Read more >
