Not that Nestle

I don’t get too political on HHH, but still, it shouldn’t come as a huge surprise that I’m a big fan of Marion Nestle. FYI, the fact she shares her name with this company makes Kyle giggle.    Considering what she promotes, it is pretty ironic. I subscribe to her blog Food Politics, which I highly recommend for anyone looking to stay current on important issues like pink slime, organic farming, GMO legislature, and other hot topics.  Her latest post deals with diet and weight loss which she addresses in her new book Why Calories… Read more >

Just a Wednesday

You must be sick of non-food (aka house progress) posts by now, huh? Ok, how about my work food for a change of pace (slash return to the real reason I blog). Breakfast…   Oats, puffed millet, white chia seeds and sunflower seed butter on top. You want me to back up with that?   1 cup whole rolled oats + 1 1/2 cups boiling water + 1/4 cup puffed millet + 1 tbsp chia seeds   Once I let them sit a bit, the water got soaked up and the chia seeds gelled, so… Read more >

p.s. chai love you

Is there anything better than a warm mug of chai tea with almond milk? If so, I’d love to try it.  Chai infused breakfasts oats are a start.  And Chai cookies are in my future.  But for now, I’m going to delight in the simplicity of this tea. Work food. Oatmeal with ground flax seeds, blueberries and vanilla almond milk. Fried millet with veggie and hard boiled egg. Carrots, banana, candied ginger as snacks.  Not my usual haul because this was for an 8 hour day, not the full 12.  Luckily we were done with… Read more >

Pancake afternoons

I like to make more luxurious breakfasts for myself on the days that I work night shift.    I try and sleep in as long as possible and make breakfast fare later in the day as a means of tricking myself into thinking it’s early in the day (when it’s actually the afternoon).  That way it doesn’t seem to bizarre going to work in the evening.  It’s silly, but it’s what I do.    Today I made pancakes, which I topped in chocolate peanut sauce and maple syrup.   Thanks to Bob’s Red Mill and… Read more >

Warm crispy crunch

This is not a recipe. It’s completely measurement-free. Here’s the assembly in photo format… GF cocoa rice crisp cereal *It’s not certified gluten free, but the ingredients are GF, so the only source of gluten would be from contamination in it’s processing/production.  Basically, I’m guessing Whole Foods didn’t want to pay more to get certified or use a separate factory/co-packer. GF peanut flour + USV almond milk And bananas. Mashed. Mixed. Microwaved. Munched.  🙂 These are the kinds of things I create for myself when my GI system is being lame and I need fodmaps… Read more >
