Fun Cooking For One

Written by Nora on July 29, 2010 — 8 Comments

I have way too much fun cooking for one. Coconut Curry Shrimp. Cilantro-Ginger Brown Basmati/Wild Rice. Sesame Snap Peas. Hermann J. Wiemer 2008 Dry Gewurztraminer. At the end of the day I want three things: sweat pants, a glass of wine and a good meal. Typically I am cooking for one. All the more reason [...]

Hot Feet, Cold Brews

Written by Nora on July 29, 2010 — 7 Comments

I know it’s only Thursday, but I am already excited for Sunday. While I was at work yesterday I received a special e-mail from my dad: “Hot Feet run in the morning, then cold brews in the afternoon.” YES PLEASE! I was having a crazy day so his message was really appreciated. I spent much [...]

Dinner: Lemon-Rosemary Marinated Chicken Breast. Lemon Scented Green Beans with Walnuts and Pecorino Cheese. Corn on the Cob. Russian Jack Sauvignon Blanc. I needed that wine more than anything tonight. While I was prepping dinner I dug into some hummus and carrots. The hummus had a few little pinkish spots that I scraped away and [...]

It Makes Me Happy

Written by Nora on July 14, 2010 — 15 Comments

Today has been silly and smiley. To best address all of the things that made me happy, I generated a ‘top 10′ list. Working backwards:1) Dessert. I have a sweet tooth. Tonight I had exactly what I was craving: cool & creamy Chobani Greek Yogurt, chopped sweet cherries from the farmers market and dark chocolate [...]

Chocolate, Wine and a Good Meal

Written by Nora on July 13, 2010 — 10 Comments

Here me out. It has been one of those days. I spent FAR to many hours sitting at a computer during work, and then…it rained. Although I didn’t do anything physically exhausting today, I felt completely drained and stiff from my desk chair. All I wanted was chocolate, wine and a good meal. I have [...]

Parisian Dreams

Written by Nora on July 8, 2010 — 9 Comments

I’m convinced that I belong in France. The land if bread, cheese and wine…I could live off that . During my personal picnic dinner last night (*ahem* lame) I kept alternating between bites of my caprese baguette and berries. It made my heart sing. For lunch (or dinner….I packed 2 meals and can’t decide what [...]

Living and Loving Life

Dinner last night was simple and satisfying. For some reason warm weather always makes me crave grilled items and fresh produce. I marinated a chicken breast in barbecue sauce and grilled it on my cast iron skillet. I wish I had access to a real grill but my make shift grill pan over an open [...]

Fight The Feeling

If I have learned one thing in college it is that Two Finals + One Paper + Sore Throat = miserable finals week. I really wanted to make something fun for breakfast this morning like pancakes or a big omelet but my body felt like it was in the early stages of a cold. I’m [...]

Motivation

Oatmeal and fuzzy slippers are my motivation to rise from my cozy bed and warm sheets each and every morning. I love these slippers. They are the most comfortable shoe I’ve ever owned and never fail to provide my feet with warmth. As I ritually slid them on today I became a bit sentimental. It [...]
