In all fairness, I am a big fan of the weekend in general, however; Sunday has a special place in my heart. Growing up Sunday was a time for family. We slept in, went to church and spent the day relaxing together over a luscious brunch prepared by my dad and hearty early dinner. Living [...]
I returned to my parent’s home yesterday evening right in time for dinner. We had take out, however; this isn’t your ordinary fast-food meal. My dad picked up Mexican food from a local place called Alto Cinco. It is one of those eateries you find once in a blue moon and I always look forward [...]
I’ll be going home for the holidays, which means: cleaning out my fridge and preparing all of my gifts. So besides massive amounts of cookie baking, I have been busy trying to get myself together so I can relax at home with my loved ones. Last night I made an easy dinner, incorporating as much [...]
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 [...]

The theme of tonight’s dinner was “use it, or lose it.” As I mentioned yesterday, I had a whole pound of kale that needed to be used by today. I put about half of the bag in my soup last night and decided the best way to use more would be to have a family-size [...]
I have this thing. Whenever I see unusual food items I MUST try them. I have yet to try a cuisine that completely repulses me, and will give any food a chance. This curiosity has helped me discover some of my favorite foods. Escargot is a new favorite that I sometimes dream about. Who would [...]
WE DID IT! My dad and I completed 13.1 miles this morning both in under 2-hours(pictures to come…they are on my mom’s camera) . I’m so proud of my dad. It was the furthest he has ever run! I ran my first half-marathon 2-years ago and never thought I would do one again. All summer [...]
No, I’m not talking about Burger King. I’m talking about my favorite part about cooking and food: you can always make things exactly the way you like them. There is no real rhyme or reason to cooking, just preference. For breakfast this morning I was feeling a little cool, crunchy, chocolaty and sweet. I made [...]
