Keen on quinoa

My titles are just oh-so-clever, aren’t they? In my previous post, I professed my love for Terry Walters and her brilliant cookbook, Clean Food. Well, as you can see, I just can’t get enough of her recipes.  And since quinoa is one of my favorite foods ever (and thanks to Costco we just bought enough to feed all of the Middle East), it was an obvious choice for dinner.  In true Elise fashion, I made several adjustments to the recipe.  Does anyone ever follow them verbatim? Based on what we had on hand, our personal… Read more >

Terry Walters can do no wrong

No seriously.  She has never let me down; not once. I love her recipes so much that her cookbook, Clean Food, was the only one that escaped a 3 month hibernation (in a So Cal storage facility).  Everything else was packed up in NYC, shipped off to a remote location in LA, and has been waiting for us to move into our new Santa Monica apartment…but I just couldn’t part with this one.  Sure, my SoniCare toothbrush I forget, but not my beloved cookbook.  Priorities people, priorities. Anyways, in an effort to expand my in-laws’… Read more >

Blackberries and apricots

Being an aunt is fun…

Because at the end of the day, you can give the kiddos back to the parents. Alternate title for this post: the four-time-reheated coffee. Seriously.  I don’t think I had two sips in sequence.  It all started bright and early…at 7:30 AM to be exact. We served up breakfast… …but at you can see, the kids were a bit distracted. Ernie has a tendency to do that.  I’d like to say orange skinned puppets aren’t my thing, but they must have some sort of audience… Anyways, once we cleaned up the hash browns, toast, eggs,… Read more >

The brown version

Can you tell I’ve been behind on my reviews? Last time I enlisted the help from my fam in consuming Nature’s Pride Country White bun.  Now it’s time for the brown buns. The 100% Whole Wheat ones, that is! Like last time, I have Foodbuzz to thank for these goodies.  And also like last time, I have my fam-bam to thank for the help in reviewing. The table was set with all the necessary accessories (BBQ sauce, dijon mustard, ketchup, tomatoes, and of course avocado) There was some confusion at the store, and I couldn’t… Read more >
