Every month when my trusty Real Simple comes in the mail, I start by flipping to the end of the magazine to check out the recipes featured in the back-of-book. I usually pick one or two from every issue to try out, and depending on the results (and time/ease of preparation), the meal will sometimes…
No bake? No problem.
Do you remember the first time you ate a no-bake cookie? When I was little, my mom could whip up oatmeal raisin, chocolate chip cookies and snickerdoodles so fluffy you’d think they were pillows (really, my friends were always mega impressed when I pulled them out of my lunchbox), but no-bake cookies were never her…
Eat your vegetables
When I was a freshman in college, one of the dining halls (Eva J’s — woot, woot!) periodically served up one of my all-time favorite vegetables, though every time I slid my tray to this veggie-filled hot spot with balls of greeny goodness overflowing from the warming dishes, I got the distinct impression that I…
We might be giants
When I was a little girl, no food seemed quite as fancy as tiny hors d’oeuvres served on big platters. The is probably largely because we only did hors d’oeuvres for special occasions (i.e. Christmas and New Year’s Eve), so the presence of tiny food meant happy holidays, late nights, pretty clothes and sparkling cider….
Vegetarian Thanksgiving. Tofurky, anyone?
Have you ever gone vegetarian for Thanksgiving? Jared and I know a guy whose daughter started college a few years ago and not long after decided to go vegan. Suddenly the impending holiday season was a whole new kind of challenge, with her parents trying to figure out how to cook an entire Thanksgiving meal…
Do you know the muffin (wo)man? Yep, that’s me.
Have you seen the Kashi commercials that show all those rugged, sporty folks in T-shirts and hiking boots scouring the earth for the world’s “best-tasting healthy foods”? Well these cranberry wheat muffins (made with everyone’s fave breakfast food, cracked wheat) turned out to be amazingly yummy little guys. And in the crazy world of muffins…
Wheat: All it’s cracked up to be.
For the past couple of years, Jared and I have been on a quest to healthier eating. We started with revamping a lot of what we cooked at home (meaning we started cooking a lot at home instead of going out to eat all the time). We coasted comfortably on the sea of healthy home-cookin’…
Here’s the dish
I’m a big believer that when it comes to things like food or gifts, half the points lie in the presentation. Just ask Jared, who kindly keeps his comments to himself when I spend just as much on gift wrap as I do on the actual present. It might seem a little nonsensical (or incredibly…
Countdown to Thanksgiving
Well, if that photo is any indication, I’ve entered full-on planning mode. Thanksgiving is a mere 14 days away. Eek! We’re celebrating the holiday with Jared’s folks, and though his mom does most of the Thanksgiving-ing, I’ve been searching for new recipes so I can contribute some foodie goodness, too. And that, my friends, means…
