I’m not sure what came over me today, but I decided I needed to make Medjool Date and Walnut Bread.Spinach, Roasted Sweet Potato, Roasted Brussels Sprouts, Tomato, Carrot, Hummus and an Apple. I had a light late lunch as this puppy baked. The smell of cinnamon was getting to me. I needed food.It took all [...]
Sweet-Heat Lovin’! Sweet Potato, Spinach and Chickpea Curry. Whole Wheat Pita Bread. 2% Greek Yogurt. Cilantro. Cayuga Ridge Cayuga Cuvee. “It’s just another manic Monday”. I can COMPLETELY relate to this song. Monday is often a crazy/busy day for me and at the end of it, all I want is good wine and good food [...]
I’m inspired by ‘food bloggers’. I have learned so much about food and life through their fantastic dishes and positive, ambitious attitudes. Without blogs, I would have never known about the wonders of oatmeal, chia seeds or ‘Green Monsters’. This week I have decided to pay a breakfast tribute (since it is my favorite meal [...]
Why yes, I did just make a Spice Girls reference…super. I was having one of those “blah-humm-drum-blah-blah-blah” days. I needed to spice up my life. Literally. When I am bored, have free time or need a change of pace, I turn to the kitchen. I like to experiment with new dishes and let my culinary [...]
Sometimes I feel like a mathematician in the kitchen. I get the music going, pour myself a glass of wine, and let the equations roll. (Isn’t this the way mathematicians operate?) For example: one single girl + one jar of chunky marinara sauce = infinite meal possibilities. Just when I thought I reached my dinner [...]
To my dismay, I woke up this morning to a torrential down pour. My dad and I were going to go on a bike ride but had to cancel our plans due to the massive puddles that had accumulated. Instead, we decided to go to the local high school track and run. Before we left [...]
Did I really just complete my undergraduate college education? Ladies and gentleman, at 4pm this afternoon I emerged from the confines of my minuscule apartment looking half-human and walked to campus to hand in my last college paper ever. It still hasn’t hit me yet. Do I really not have any readings to do? Tests [...]
Hey everyone! I hope you all survived this Manic Monday! What makes Monday such a crazy day anyways? I swear I always feel like I’m being pulled in 7 directions, running around like a chicken with my head cut off (what a bizarre phrase.). I have lots of studying to get done this evening but [...]
I’m not sure what my deal is but I am having the HARDEST time focusing on my exam. I think it is a combination of uninteresting material and the thoughts of finishing school looming in my head. I have been doing work at a snail’s pace, finding things to distract me left and right. Initially, [...]
Enter: A Day in My Life: This is my dinner on my coffee table. It is one of the three places in my apartment where I tend to settle down for meals. Breakfast is almost always in bed (and dinner on occasion) and when I am home for lunch/dinner, these meals are often enjoyed sitting [...]
