My dad is going to cringe when he reads this post. It’s officially packing week, and I’m working on cleaning out my refrigerator and freezer. I had leftover taco fixings, and a frozen tilapia filet. More fish tacos with spicy red cabbage slaw and avocado anyone? The slaw was spot on, and the tacos were [...]
I’m still working on “Spring-Cleaning” my freezer. What do you get when you have: Sourdough Baguette, Bone-in Chicken Breast and Frozen Artichokes? Sounds like bruschetta to me! Sourdough Baguette drizzled in Olive Oil and Coated with Garlic & Parmesan Cheese. Topped with Baby Spinach Sauteed in a mix of Olive Oil, Garlic and White Wine. [...]
While ‘Spring Cleaning’ my cluttered apartment, I realized that other areas of my living space needed more attention–aka my freezer. I’m almost embarrassed to show you this disaster. Something is very wrong here. When you are cooking for one, and love to cook and eat different things every night this is bound to happen. I’m [...]
I often wake up thinking, “I wish I could stay in my pajamas all day and bake.” If I didn’t have a guilt complex, I would probably play hooky JUST to bake all day long. The weekends are the perfect excuse to accomplish these goals. Yesterday I ate good food and drank wine all day [...]
So long home cooked meals and lazy days watching football (which I still don’t completely understand). Hello work week. Before leaving the company of my parents, we shared one last meal together. My mom took advantage of a few of our leftovers, and made pork for the sake of a white meat that wasn’t turkey. [...]
I had such an amazing day! I went out to lunch with a co-worker (thanks Aaron!) for an extra cheesy slice of ricotta, spinach and artichoke pizza and made an epic (that’s right…epic.) work-related trip to my hometown in the afternoon. I felt awful because we encountered some road work on the way and were [...]
Leftover Zucchini and Fried Pepper Casserole. Sauteed Broccoli. A clean kitchen is my happy place. By 8pm tonight, I was happily tucked into my blanket watching House with a mug of hot chocolate and a raspberry-coconut lemon bar. I was completely relaxed and my kitchen was pristine. The one thing I have come to love [...]
It’s FRIDAY!! WOOH Let’s celebrate with good food! Starting with breakfast in a fun bowl. I decided to give my over-sized tea cups a break this morning and put my overnight oats in a fancy dish. Banana-Chia Overnight Oats (1/3 cup rolled oats, 1/3 cup vanilla soy milk, 1/3 cup 2% Greek Yogurt, 2 tsp [...]
Leftover Rosemary-Thyme Roasted Chicken, Green and Red Leaf Lettuce, Tomato, Green Beans, Dried Cranberries, Walnuts and Goat Cheese dressed in a mixture of Olive Oil, Honey and Balsamic. Leftover Roasted Chicken Lift-up #1: Harvest Salad Beauty.Whole Wheat Toast dusted with Cinnamon and topped with Homemade Blackberry Jam from the Farmer’s Market. Lunch was a pleasure [...]
Today started just like any other Monday. I woke up WAY too early to travel back in time for work. I packed my overnight oats to go and gobbled them up ferociously as I assembled lunch, attempting to race time.Overnight Oats in a Take-Out Container: 1/2 cup rolled oats, 1/2 cup vanilla soy milk, 1/2 [...]
