I’ve been on a really great health roll lately. I loved my second swim lesson this week, I’m still basking in the glow of my first beginning mountain bike rides in Tahoe, I took a yoga class with the BF+ (I didn’t even giggle when the teacher said I had perfect alignment – don’t worry [...]
What can I say? Kristina (aka Spabettie) ALWAYS makes me smile. She is creative and fearless in the kitchen, and her joy is contagious! Kristina’s recipes, photography and personality are all soul medicine for me (yes I’ve been known to troll her site for a quick pick me up). Enjoy this Mango and Onion Quinoa [...]
I’m kinda sick of chicken. Don’t get me wrong, my frozen bags of chicken breasts have been instrumental in shifting from an eat-out-all-the-time to a cook-my-own-food occasionally habit. But really, a girl needs more than just chicken, right? With the onset of lovely weather and a burst of confidence, I was feeling bold. And with [...]
I had high hopes for a cookie recipe makeover. In the end, I’m not doing the happy dance about the cookies, but I am happy to practice with my new camera (Canon EOS Rebel T1i). I had visions of my grandma’s tea balls but with healthy ingredients (whole grains, almond flour, applesauce, etc.). I divvied [...]
At the ripe age of 43, I’m discovering winter squashes, and I’m just giddy! I usually roast them and either stuff them, fork them, or mush mash them. But I’m on vacation with no time restraints, so I thought I’d give my new food processor a try with an assembler friendly Quick Butternut Squash Soup. [...]
The body snatchers are lurking, and the result is another baking experiment from this non-cook. This time it’s healthy coffee cake with Bob’s Red Mill 8 Grain Hot Cereal. I used Bob’s Original Recipe as the base, and since I had some of their pancake & waffle mix handy, I used that instead of the [...]
Confession: I’ve never taken a homemade dish to a party. I know this is shocking, but it’s true. So when my sis announced her big party, I immediately remembered my family’s Bacon Wrapped Rumaki dish. Now that I’m a grown up, and I want to be a polite party guest, I thought I should bring [...]
I can’t remember the last time I baked anything requiring baking soda. I pride myself on being an average “assembler” and since baking is chemistry and requires precise measurement, I’ve never really been a baker. But it’s cold out and I’m getting sucked into it by all the lovely posts and pics from my friends. [...]
“Whatever we think about gets bigger….” It was about 20 years ago when I first heard this, and it has always stuck with me. Over time, I’ve mainly applied this to my thinking. For example, focusing on the solution gets makes the solution grow in our mind, and is more productive than focusing on the [...]
Trying to incorporate new healthy habits has been a slow process. For me, making sustained changes requires baby steps that I can do one day at a time. I’m smart enough to know that I’m not going to swap a pizza for a cooking habit overnight. On that one, I started by committing to cook [...]
