If there’s one thing I pride myself on, it’s my ability to create meals out of the most random hodgepodge assortment of leftovers. This should come as no surprise given my love for everything-but-the-kitchen-sink salads, but I definitely think I have a knack for making cupboard scraps and a nearly empty fridge into a fairly decent dish. Oats are the perfect central ingredient for this little something-out-of-nothing trick. If I’m going the savory route with oats, there’s one ingredient I turn to without fail, and that’s nutritional yeast… Welcome to nooch mountain. Full of fresh… Read more >

Last week I had one of those days where my appetite just wouldn’t quit. I hate those kinds of days, honestly. They either mean my metabolism is psychotically fast (here’s hoping!) or I’m nursing a tapeworm (shudder). Unfortunately, I didn’t handle it in a healthy or mindful way.

I started the morning sans cafe because I just wasn’t in the mood. The wind was pretty ferosh outside, which always makes me want to snuggle up with a book. So I read on the couch while enjoying a plate of grapes and strawberries. Later on a made an oat, cinnamon, raisin elixir. Here’s a confession: I like raw oats. As in, uncooked whole rolled oats. When I was little I used to pour the instant Quaker packs in a bowl, add milk, and eat it like cold cereal. Obviously, my palate hasn’t matured very… Read more >
