First things first, my husband is an amazingly easy person to cook for. Pretty much anything I set down in front of him, he’ll eat. When he asks what’s for dinner and I tell him it’s lentils or chard or vegan or full of nutritional yeast, he generally replies [...] 
My first Mother’s Day was a great one. Breakfast in the city, a new pair of shoes, and a run with my two favorite people, one of whom clearly had the time of her life. Ellie (okay, fine… Mike) gave me a 12-pack of Gu, which was a little [...] 
Even though I started Saturday morning with a four hour math test, I grade this weekend A+++. Perfect weather, good coffee, lots of time with Mike and Ellie, a run and brunch with good friends, and a lot of time in the kitchen; that’s pretty tough to beat. We [...] This is my take on yet another amazing recipe from Plenty. I roasted the mushrooms instead of marinating them (because even though I don’t consider myself a picky eater at all, I just can’t do raw mushrooms). I also omitted the fava beans because I really don’t care for [...] 
I really love soba noodles. It all started with the recipe for Otsu in Super Natural Cooking, and grew from there into a mild obsession. I pretty much insist on eating them at least once a week, and I love the way they provide a pleasantly earthy backdrop for [...] 
So I’m running a marathon on Sunday, my seventh! I’m incredibly excited, even though I know there’s pretty much a 0.000032% chance that I’ll PR. It’s okay, though. I signed up way back in August when I had no idea what life with a baby would be like, and [...] 
I momentarily forgot about it, but yesterday was National Grilled Cheese Day! I created a recipe for Tillamook (which will be up on their blog sometime this month), but here’s a sneak peek: So, Black Bean Bulgur Burgers. Yep, that’s some nice alliteration. I’ve been trying to figure out [...] 
I know it’s a totally overdone and annoying blogger move to complain about how busy you are. But it’s my blog, and JEEZ I’m busy right now. I have a marathon in 2 weeks, a huge and difficult math test to take in 3 weeks, and I’m trying to [...] 
On Saturday, Ellie helped me dye some eggs. I was really excited to using natural colors from red cabbage, turmeric, and beets, but the result was VERY pale eggs, so we ended up using the fizzy tablets from a kit we bought two years ago but never used. After moving [...] 
I don’t think I ever ate kale when I was growing up, but I ADORE it now. Raw in salad or smoothies, cooked with pasta or in soup, it’s great. Lets not kid ourselves, though. If given a choice between a plate of kale or a brownie, I’ll probably take [...] |
