It’s 7pm. You have mushrooms, kale and tomatoes to use before going home for the Holidays. You also have a baguette. “PERFECT!” you think, “I’ll make bruschetta!” Bruschetta is easy, fast and hey–you love lots of garlic. You reach for the baguette….the knife will not cut through. Little saw-dust-like particles fall to the floor. Your [...]
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 [...]
1/4 cup rolled oats, 1/8 cup instant oats, 1/2 cup vanilla soy milk, 1/2 cup water, 1/2 banana, 1/2 TBS chia seeds, cinnamon, sunshine raspberries, blackberries, almond butter, dark chocolate peanut butter. It has been such a busy week. I haven’t had time to post many of my foods. I have had this exact bowl [...]
Yep, I am one of those suckers who loves the Fall for early sunsets and chilly temperatures. I don’t feel obligated to do anything but relax at the end of my day. I look forward to the moment when I can finely settle down with my favorites: wine, chocolate, and fuzzy slippers. Throw in a [...]
Roasted Butternut Squash; All Day Boston Baked Beans; Baked Parmesan Kale; Cabernet SauvignonMy dinner last night was inspired by Caitlin‘s Sweet Potato and Baked Beans combination. I tried this meal a while back and loved how something so simple could be completely satisfying. I thought I’d give it a twist with my All Day Boston [...]

Southern girl at heart. Dinner tonight was leftovers. Typically I dislike leftovers. I love cooking and they deprive me of the opportunity to make something new. Even though [...]
I have not lived. Dinner was ridiculously simple and delicious: Slow Cooked Boston Baked Beans; Homemade Skillet Cornbread; Kale Sauteed in Olive Oil, Garlic and Lemon topped with Cherry Tomatoes and Grated Parmesan Cheese; and a glass of Cabernet Sauvignon. Photos first, then words. This knocked my socks off. Er…well flip flops. Sandal season is [...]
Are you shocked by the color of this drink? Don’t let the color intimidate you, the taste more than makes up for it. I have been wanting to try a fresh vegetable/fruit juice for a while now, but always end up with a fruit smoothie instead. After a long day of studying, I decided to [...]
I suppose I’ll be a repeat “food diary” blogger today since it is Deja Vu Wednesday. I wanted to post once more today about my fantastic…or should I say “snacktastic” afternoon snack, but I have documentation of other daily eats so why not? When I last left you I was on cloud 9 relishing in [...]
