Ready in the flashiest of flashes

The other night I pulled off dinner from start to finish in 10 minutes flat.  Now I’m fairly certain the leftovers on hand were the supporting actors that allowed this to go down, but I also think this meal could be reproduced in an almost similar time frame again (give or take a few seconds depending on my knife skills). Fresh (and very juicy) pineapple. Leftover quinoa + leftover steamed kale. Teriyaki tofu As you can see, simply dicing ingredients and tossing them together isn’t exactly rocket science, but it is tasty. All I added… Read more >

Ups-kale snacking

I have a plethora of kale on hand (in addition to time to think up pun filled post titles), so expect mucho leafy greens in the near future.  Kale chips?  Why not!  I’ve made them before (here), but (as you’d expect) Kyle’s parents don’t have nooch hanging around in their pantry, so I decided to make up a new recipe on the spot (and then crossed my fingers that it would turn out to be tasty)!  My previous batches of kale chips have all been “cheesy” ones, so this was my first non-nooch kale chip… Read more >

Qu’est-ce qu’on mange?

Mon ami, c’est Ratatouille! Pixar had it right: “Why do they call it that?  If you’re gonna name a food, you should give it a name that sounds delicious.  Ratatouille doesn’t sound delicious.  It sounds like "rat" and "patootie."  Rat-patootie, which does not sound delicious.” But trust me, it is très délicieux.  Tomatoes, onions, zucchini, bell peppers, and eggplant…all oiled up and ready for the grill. Isn’t it amazing that salt and extra virgin olive oil can work such magic on the barbecue?   All together now… Magnifique. To accompany the ratatouille, we threw together… Read more >

The raspberry festival

Lynden’s annual raspberry festival happened to fall on the same weekend that Kyle was in Vegas for his bachelor festivities.  In an effort to keep me distracted the entire time he was gone, Kyle’s parents entered me and his dad in a 5K fun run/walk.  Nothing like small town races to boost your ego!  Haha.  When I emailed this pic to my mom, she responded “That’s my girl — competitive in a "fun run." 🙂 ”  Well somebody had to win… Kyle’s dad and I donned our new race shirts to take a post-run pic. … Read more >

Out with the old, in with the new

My latest quinoa salad was fantastic, and the best part was that it yielded way more than I expected! What’s a girl to do?  This was an everything but the kitchen sink everything in the fridge kind of salad…including a Strawberry Shortcake coloring book.  It had leftover broccoli, leftover sweet potatoes, leftover quinoa, and a new product too! Quorn Naked Chik’n Cultets do have trace amounts of egg whites, so they aren’t vegan.  But I had never seen them before and they were on sale, so why the heck not? Here they are in all… Read more >
