I’ve been very uninspired lately. In the kitchen, in my day-to-day routine, in lots of ways…I just feel like I’m tired and bored all the time. It’s weird. My days off are so lazy. I read, I draw, I read some more. But I miss my desire to be in the kitchen. I don’t know where it’s gone. Thinking of dinner ideas is hard for some reason. And it’s never been like that before. I ask Kyle to suggest things since I seem incapable of coming up with anything other than eggs and toast and… Read more >

My AM meals were boring and hardly worth an explanation so I’ll get them out of the way quickly. Breakfast: Cascadian Farms’ multi grain squares + co-op bulk bins flakes & clusters cereal + nectarine + almond milk Lunch: leftover Caprese Caesar pasta salad (I added carrots and extra iceberg lettuce to bulk it up) [Unpictured snack: pretzels and hummus] [Lots] And now for dinner. We decided to do a pizza night, but we cheated a bit by using pre-made crusts. We decided to try Rustic Crust’s organic pizza crusts. One for each of… Read more >

After a really exhausting day, we were all ready for an early dinner. I’m talking 5 pm early. And so we made our way to Founding Farmers. This place was recommended to me by a few different people, so I was really looking forward to it. Unfortunately, I had a less than great interaction with the staff when I called ahead inquiring about the ability to accommodate our party of five (including one person in a wheelchair). Not only did they tell me they don’t take reservations (which I later found out was false –… Read more >

First thing I did when I got up was inhale deeply. Even though our bedroom is upstairs, the aromas from the kitchen still make their way up to us overnight. Especially when I make bread right before bedtime. I took a few slices of each for breakfast (and general morning snacking). Excellent. I don’t have photos of all my work food. I brought pizza and other stuff. The dough was soooo good. Fluffy and soft. The sauce had too much garlic. FODMAPs fail. The cheese was melty. Really and truly. It melted. If you see… Read more >

Nacho cheese! <— cringe Last week I decided it wasn’t worth it to make bagels from scratch. Buying them is fine by me. Tortilla chips, on the other hand, are now going in the “home-made” column. Easy – yes. Delicious – yes. Cheap – yes. I’m not joking, this was probably the most simple and tasty thing I’ve “made” in a while. Did I mention how cheap they were? A bag of 100 corn tortillas from Costco set me back a whole $2.99. They are made by Guerrero, and when I researched… Read more >
