After seeing last week’s Cook’s Mission competition, I knew I needed to get in on the game! I impatiently waited until Saturday when the ingredients were announced: Celeriac (celery root) and apples. I thought this would be a “no-brainer” because I have seen them prepared together before, and although I have never cooked with celeriac, [...]
My apartment smelled FANTASTIC this morning as I baked this dish. Now, you might think that spending a half hour making a weekday breakfast is silly, but I promise you that it is worth it. I have been thinking about banana bread the past few days, and love the combination of dates and walnut so [...]
Maybe it’s just me, but my daily food choices are DEFINITELY inspired by the weather. Reflecting on some of my daily eats, I realized that certain flavors and textures are more appealing to me based on the temperature. It was gorgeous and sunny around lunch time, and all I wanted was either a loaded salad [...]
I have been dying to “experience” chia seeds ever since I started reading about them on blogs. I think I may have entered every single chia giveaway in the blogsphere in hopes of obtaining some of these babies. Well, I was tired of waiting and finally made my purchase! What is so special about chia [...]
On Sunday I went to Target to treat myself to a few new items in honor of my birthday. Along with a new dress (they seriously always have the cutest clothes!), and 2 types of granola bars, I wound up with this:A beautiful new scarf, Bon Appetit and Mini Clif Bars. I am a huge [...]
I swear if I had to pick 5 things to live off of for the rest of my life they would be: Granola, Greek yogurt, almond butter, bananas and ice cream. Wow, that was actually a really hard decision, there are so many favorite foods I’m leaving out. Yes, today was another granola yogurt [...]
I really think I could eat “sweet” for every meal/snack of the day. Granted, if I don’t have some sort of vegetable in my day I feel a bit off. Shortly after my snacky breakfast, I decided to give the Chocolate Green SuperFood another try. I thought that I was cheating a bit by adding [...]
Oy Vey! This post is somewhat gross, but has a feel good ending so stay tuned. Having your eyes glued shut is NOT a good way to wake up in the morning. Lately I’ve been having a bit of sinus pressure, nothing serious, but it has come with post nasal drip and some eye puffiness. [...]
Okay…I’m definitely dedicated to this whole work out thing. After looking at the schedules for the yoga studio I went to this past weekend, I realized that the only time I could attend a class was at 5:45am today. I said I was going to do yoga once a week and I meant it! I [...]
With some inspiration from the “flavor of the month”, superfood, on foodbuzz.com I created this delectable dish: Pan-Seared Salmon with Spinach and Israeli Couscous, Berry and Walnut Pilaf. I have done some research on superfoods (see my “food facts” tab), and thought this meal pulled a few of my favorites together into a well balanced [...]
