Pie crust scares me. There is a whole section of desserts that are the stuff of cravings and a good end to a bad day. Unfortunately, I’m a wuss and haven’t tried one of the pies yet. I got locked into it last night, though, when I assumed Quiche would be a quick and easy [...]
Somehow, this missed my radar a few months ago. There are two types of Muesli in this cookbook. One for summer and one for winter. Honestly, I am glad this is a blog and not a show or podcast, cos I am pretty sure I don’t know how to pronounce Muesli. Technically, I’m not even [...]
I seriously have found my egg fix. This was taken from the Basic Omelette recipe, but why stick with the basics when there are modifications? And when the modifications include avocado… I’m getting a little better at the omelette in a cast iron skillet trick. Nevermind that the picture looks just about identical to the [...]
After a few months of just walking for exercise and a few days without even that, I decided to pick up some yoga again. Not just any yoga, P90X yoga. Don’t worry, I didn’t do it all. I could barely get passed Warrior 2. Lots of DVD skipping was involved, but I did get lots [...]
My intent was (and is) to post a Freezer Meal Plan and a regular meal plan very soon, but let’s face it- I was starving. Breakfast is key. The wrong breakfast- i.e. indulging that donut craving or making sugary cinnamon rolls- can really mess with a day. While I was vigilant with Fuz to eat [...]
Have you noticed that most of my food posts lately have been breakfast? It’s kindof indicative of how the last few weeks have been. I’ve had good intentions at the start of the day, but by lunchtime it all goes downhill. Either I’m making something familiar or copping out on cooking entirely. Hopefully, that is [...]
For some reason, granola has become the mascot of natural living, a la “You’re such a hippie, aren’t you? One of those granola types.” You don’t have to exhibit any particular number of naturalist tendencies to get such an accusation, as it were. Depending on what part of the country you are in and how [...]
I pretty much adore fall. It’s not my favorite season. That would be spring. But I do love the chilly reprieve after a sweaty, stinky summer. It’s really just that I’m a weather snob. Summer is miserable. Winter is miserable. I just don’t thrive in extremes. After marrying a guy whose family is from San [...]
This post was supposed to be written yesterday, but I had a prenatal that threw my whole day off whack. It worked out, though, because this was the prenatal where I found out I am not anemic. This is the first pregnancy my iron hasn’t been really low on the first check. It is also [...]
So this is a bit more of a breakfasty breakfast. We have done oats a lot of ways. This one takes the cake (except maybe for making an actual coffee cake crumble). A lot of times, homemade whole oats wind up either mushy, slimy or both. Nobody really wants that. It makes for good mush [...]
