Aside from consuming copious amounts of cookies this week, I’ve also had some great foods and wine. I by no means want to bore you with every bowl of oatmeal or pita hummus sandwich (daily staples lately) but I will share a few highlights. Let’s start with the wine.Goose Watch 2009 Melody The Melody grape [...]
‘Tis the season to…VISIT THE FINGER LAKES! I literally ate food and drank wine all day long. A few months ago I was fortunate enough to win a pair of tickets to the Cayuga Wine Trail’s Holiday Shopping Spree (Thank you again to Finger Lakes Tourism–especially Sarah who helped find my lost ticket ), and [...]
At the end of the day I needed a little bit of this.Ravenswood Zinfandel And this.Walnut-Chocolate Chip Whole Wheat Cookies. I ended the day with two of my guilty pleasures: wine and dessert. It was a necessary measure after a hectic evening. Let’s just say that I had some malfunctioning pipes in my bathroom and [...]
Yesterday was simply amaizeing. Yes, I know that I am spelling “amazing” wrong. After work, a few of my coworkers and I did something WILD and CRAZY. We went to a corn maze. It was actually called, “The Amazing Maize Maze.” 1/2 cup old fashioned rolled oats cooked in 1/2 cup vanilla soy milk, 1 [...]
When ginger meets orange it’s a match made in heaven. I think I was still channeling my chocolate cream pie with gingersnap crust and orange whipped cream this morning. My spice drawer got the best of me and my oats were gingerlicious.1/2 cup rolled oats cooked in 1/2 cup vanilla soy milk, 1 cup water, [...]

The one thing I have come to love [...]
Dinner: Tarragon-Dijon Chicken topped with Cherry Tomatoes. Green Beans and Zucchini in a Green Sauce (Basil, Garlic, Dijon, Olive Oil, Shallot, Parsley) and Peccorino Cheese. Corn on the Cob. Served with Russian Jack Pinot Noir. I used lots of fresh herbs pureed to form a chicken marinade and veggie topping. These are the thing that [...]
After an interesting day of food yesterday, today was back to the same-old-same-old. Breakfast was a creamy, scrumptious bowl of overnight oatmeal. Overnight: 1/2 cup raw oatmeal, cinnamon, vanilla extract, 1/2 chopped banana, 1/2 TBS chia seeds, 1/2 cup vanilla soy milk. Morning: ~1/3 cup Chobani Plain Greek Yogurt, handful of blueberries raspberries and sunflower [...]
Dear Heat Wave, Please end. Kind Regards, Nora I have been on the go all day and so has my food. I’m avoiding the heat at all costs. Working in the bakery today was AMAZING! I had to stop working there about a month ago when I started my full-time internship. I truly miss the [...]
This afternoon a meeting invitation popped up on my computer with the subject line “Ice Cream” and the event details stating: “Come join us in Conference Room 1 to kick the weekend off right.” Imagine me jumping out from my cubicle and prancing around like a 5 year old. Ice cream is my favorite food. [...]
