the veggie-hating husband's homemade falafel and hummus

The good news: I worked 52 hours last week. The bad news: I worked 52 hours last week. While it’s rewarding on many levels, I miss everyone in blogland! By the time I get home and eat dinner it’s hard to put together a coherent post that’s good enough to publish. Even plans to write […]

new food friday 08.06.10

If you’re looking for a new food to try for might I recommend this recipe which contains eggplant? I actually had a few options to post for this week, but ended up with… Reed avocados. I couldn’t find anything to add to the photo for scale, but this seemingly-normal avocado weighs in at 14.75 ounces […]

pasta alla norma

Have you ever been to Sicily? A little over two years ago my Mom and I spent a few weeks there. It was a bit of a spontaneous trip so we didn’t do much research before going; we were amazed at the beauty and all of the delicious food. The island’s climate supports almost all […]

sunshine breakfast bowls

Breakfast: the most important meal of the day. Right? Right. Do you eat breakfast? I’ve always been a breakfast person. My morning routine was the same for years growing up: studiously avoid being spoken to by my obnoxiously-cheery morning bird mother, stare glassy-eyed at the comics page and aim cold cereal at the general vicinity […]

rhubarb upside down cake

Before we get to cake (“Awwwwww”) I just want to thank everyone so much for the supportive thoughts and words in the last few weeks, especially after my last post. I haven’t had a chance to respond to them yet, but I wanted to acknowledge you all and make sure you know you’re appreciated. As […]

life imitates food, or food imitates life

Have you had those times when you wake up each morning and just think, “Ok Life, what have you got for me today?” The past few months have been like that for me. On balance, my outlook is positive; each uncertainty on its own isn’t that bad, but as they pile on top of one […]

mindful multi-colored potato salad

Have you ever heard of mindful eating? The first time I heard about the concept was from an article my acupuncturist posted on Twitter. I was eating an ice cream sundae at the time despite her advice to avoid both sugar and dairy. As the dessert turned to creamy ash in my mouth, I replied […]

Ready or not, it’s time for another Considering that I haven’t even managed to post the recipe I made using purple potatoes from last week, I had to stretch a little for today. Thank goodness I managed something because my […]
