Keepin’ it simple

June 3, 2009

It may be humpday to you, but not to me!  :D  Today is like my Sunday, because I worked all this past weekend through Monday.  Accordingly, I made myself a nice, eggy brekky today: An omelette with sauteed red peppers and feta.  First, I sauteed thinly sliced red pepper in a little olive oil over [...]

Salads going head to head

June 2, 2009

Tonight I made a lovely plate of two salads – a tabouli and a chili chickpea veggie mixture.   The chickpea recipe was inspired by the Food Network, recipe here.  I pretty much followed the recipe except I didn’t bother to measure the veggies, AND I used a spice blend I had on hand rather than [...]

Ode to The Biscuit

June 2, 2009

Good morning, faithful readers!  Thanks for bearing with me through a few uneventful days.  I promised some updates, and alas, I have not completed them.  But I have an excuse – I’ve been busy working, yes, over the weekend. I finally have a couple days off.  I only have one weekend left at this job, [...]

Oat me happy

May 28, 2009

Many people embrace warm oatmeal in the winter, and crave cereal with ice-box cold milk right in the summer.  Me?  I’ll take whatever I’m in the mood for!  As it happens, I got completely OFF my oatmeal kick this past winter.  Instead, I was in the habit of making muffins.  I would make a double [...]

Who says energy can’t be created?!

May 27, 2009

For breakfast today, I pulled 2 sweet potato pancakes from the freezer.  I had forgotten how scrumptious these were!  I don’t remember the exact recipe, but it’s somewhere on the internet ;O  I topped my cakes with a little cinnamon butter and maple syrup (100% pure Vermont, of course ). Before heading to spinning class, I decided [...]

Sittin’ Pretty at Ula Cafe

May 26, 2009

Yesterday I told you about Flour, one of my favorite bakery/cafes. Well today, I am hangin’ at Ula Cafe, another Boston gem. This one really is a diamond in the rough (in spots, anyway) neighborhood of Jamaica Plain. But before I got there, breakfast was chez-moi!  Two weetabix biscuits with soymilk and a plum.  Oh [...]

COOKIES!!!

May 25, 2009

I am a lucky ducky today!  While biking on my way to work, I was crossing the Mass Ave bridge.  Now for those of you not from Boston, the Mass Ave bridge is a looonnng bridge that crosses the Charles River and links Cambridge (my hometown) to Boston.  About 2/3 of the way over the bridge, [...]

Heathy on the Go

May 19, 2009

Today was a good example of eating healthy on the go, as I did no cooking today, but managed to eat pretty balanced (although I did prepare a sandwich this morning for lunch).  The weird thing today was that I had a hard boiled egg at every meal.   Breakfast was purchased at work.  Unfortunately the [...]

Borscht & Best Hummus Evah

May 17, 2009

I used about half the chickpeas I had soaked earlier in the day to make this hummus, which my roommate unsolicited claimed to be the best hummus she’d ever had.  Whatta compliment!  Must have been all the olive oil I used, which was a high quality type that I only use in uncooked dishes.  The [...]

Day to write (and of course, cook!)

May 17, 2009

Today is starting off rainy, but it is far from a drag.  The light is soft and glowy.  The air is cool like it’s from an AC.  The chartruese springy leaves that dangle on the trees outside my third floor window are blowing, and the birds chirping their morning calls.  With this as my backdrop, [...]
