I like to eat food in bowls with a fork. I like salads. I like varying flavors [sweet + savory] and textures [soft + crunchy} I also like chocolate and buttercream, but sadly this lunch did not contain them. It did contain green leaf lettuce, aged balsamic, a carrot, half a bell pepper, an egg [...]

Breakfast in a jar. Since I didn’t have any vegetables for dinner last night, I tied some into breakfast. [Really, I just like kale in smoothies!] When I was training for my half marathon last year, the only food I could stomach after a long run was a kale smoothie. I have no idea why, [...]

Matt and I had many meetings this afternoon – with each other. Discussing the holidays, doing the recon (it worked!), paying sales taxes, taste-testing ginger cookies…[they are SO GOOD!] I’ve been working on the full-color Christmas menu + gift guide this week – it’s finally in print!   Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Christmas trees were test [...]

This bowl of oatmeal was soft and fluffy like a huge soft robe. Thank the chia seeds and ripe banana for that one! Whenever Matt is around this is how oatmeal turns out (even if he’s in the shower while I’m making it). Today he was – he slept in a bit and just biked [...]

Three years ago, on April 29, 2008 to be exact, I made these omelet muffins. I’ve been considering them for dinners ever since and have no idea why they haven’t actually made it to my plate because they are DAlicious! Super super easy too – just mix a batter of eggs, whole wheat flour, cottage [...]

Matt and I both have meetings downtown this afternoon, so he asked me out on a lunch date to add some excitement to this rainy day. We both walked here in the rain – I refuse to drive downtown when we live so close [with the exception being a massive thunderstorm with sideways rain, in [...]
