As you may have guessed based on the fact that I’m STILL (eye roll) posting recipes that I made 99 years ago, I haven’t been cooking much lately. Blah. I don’t wanna talk about it. Above: Salmon with quinoa and sliced tomatoes. Below: Seitan & quinoa bowl with sriracha vegan aioli on a bed of garden greens (chard). So guess what? If you’re a vegetarian or vegan, you can totally swap the seitan for the fish in the first recipe. And if you don’t dig seitan you can do fish in the second… Read more >

My parents are remodeling their kitchen (slash living room slash dining room slash house slash annoying) so it’s a good thing it was gorgeous and sunny this weekend. Because we had a birthday party for my dad!! He’s 59 years young! I’ll get to the party details later. I have lots of photos of people from this weekend and I know that’s all you guys my sister wants to see anyway. Food schmood right? P disagrees. He’s digging the solids. We had a slow start with carrots, but bananas and avocado have been… Read more >

This week was fun. Busy and not busy in perfect amounts. One thing I’ve noticed about working part time is there’s a big (HUGE) difference between 2 shifts and 3 shifts. It may not sound like it, but I feel like the time off allows me to get so much more done. And rather than fill it with errands and chores, I can actually hang out and relax and enjoy myself. It’s lovely. Here are some of the things I ate this week. Breakfasts Baked oatmeal bars with blueberries [sorry about the crappy pic]… Read more >

Summer salads are best served chilled with a cold beer am I right? Or wine if you’re too fancy for B minus. Or champagne if you’re Heather Dubrow. <— yep, I’m getting my Real Housewives fix on bravotv.com For the record, I’m not hating on Mrs. Dubrow. I happen to love the bubbly myself. And even though she’s nicknamed “fancy pants”, I bet you she’d like this salad. But I digress. You’re here for food not my take on D-list celebs. I don’t know what the heck to call this dish since every… Read more >

I know everyone loves summer produce, so why bother write a love letter to strawberries? We all love berries and melon and corn right? Right. Another present from my neighbor. I’m going to make ginger lemonade with the juicer. My own garden is doing pretty well too! Left to right: lime tree, spinach, tomato, parsley & basil. And then there’s the other greens… Kale and chard (in mega need of thinning out). I had my first salad with them last week. This delightful lunch time salad had home-grown kale and chard topped… Read more >
