Dear fiber, I am sorry that my recent culinary forays have led me to forsake you. Really, I am sorry. I will not ever forget the good times we have had, your study mouthfeel. The way you have always made me feel, after an encounter with you, that I have done something good for myself.… Continue reading Love letter

Everybody loves salad!
This week was a week of poor morning planning. Translation: I didn’t bring my lunch to work as much as I normally do. One day when I was wandering around wondering what I was going to buy for lunch, I noticed that Potbelly’s had a sign in the window for some new salads. So, I… Continue reading Everybody loves salad!
Breakfast Pizza
Well, it actually turned out to be breakfast pizza, then leftover pizza. And then, with remaining ingredients, I made a very similar dinner pizza. I found the recipe here.
Coconut Tapioca
I have been meaning to make bubble tea for forever and a day. Okay, right, that is obviously an exaggeration, but seriously it has been years. I even have the boba tapioca pearls in my pantry. Still it hasn’t happened. Today was not the day either. However, being recently sick and propped up in my… Continue reading Coconut Tapioca
Goal 16
The recipe goal. One might say that 100 new recipes is just too much, but not I! ( Says she who is behind on this goal.) March 9 was the halfway point of the year o’ goals. I am now only at recipe number 48. You see efforts number 46, 47 and 48 in the… Continue reading Goal 16
Old Standby
Everyone has that old standby recipe, right? There is that one ingredient that whispers at you, cat calls perhaps, as you walk by it in the grocery store. My ingredient is kale. When there is a bunch of kale, it will not go bad. I will dress it simply and devour it. Fortunately, Alex too,… Continue reading Old Standby
Berry Blue Marshmallows
The other day, when I was sick and in bed, I was perusing the April 2010 Food Network Magazine. There, I saw an awesome picture of these pretty pastel marshmallows. And as pictures like these are supposed to, they ignited a desire for marshmallows. So, I went online to find the site where these came… Continue reading Berry Blue Marshmallows
Comfort food
Everyone has her ultimate comfort food. Mine is grits. Every time I don’t feel well, be it a headache or an upset stomach, I look to the grits to help me feel better. I don’t know how grits came to hold this special place. In fact, I wonder if oatmeal feels that grits have stolen… Continue reading Comfort food
Eggs in Purgatory
I had never heard of “eggs in purgatory” until very recently. I saw it once, thought it interesting, then saw it everywhere. This morning was the perfect morning for a breakfast such of this. I was sick enough to be sort of slow and uncomfortable, but not sick enough to justify calling in sick when… Continue reading Eggs in Purgatory
Nutella love
I love Nutella. It is an obsessive improper love. I struggle to manage it. I am shy about the peanut butter aisle because if I make eye contact with the Nutella it is going to come home with me. My mouth waters at the thought. I can’t be alone with a virgin jar of Nutella… Continue reading Nutella love
