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 [...] 
My wisdom tooth is out, and honestly the whole procedure and recovery has been WAY more mellow than I was afraid it would be. I’m not supposed to run until Monday (boooo) but other than that, things are pretty good. I made a raw kale salad (and a couscous-chickpea [...] 
I will readily admit, I don’t come up with that many original recipes (It’s really something I should work on). 99% of the time I head into the kitchen with the laptop open to a blog, or a cookbook, or a page torn out of a magazine. But last [...] 
I hope you had a great Valentines Day! Mine was nice and low-key and perfect. Because I love my students, I bought them some treats. And ate waaaay too many of them myself. (That, on top of the cupcakes a couple of students brought meant I was completely over-sugared [...] 
There are a million things to love about San Francisco, but this is one of my favorites: We’re members, and this weekend, we gave Ellie her first science museum experience. Our first stop was the living roof, which is covered with native plants and absorbs 98% of the water [...] 
I think I have a good schedule worked out that will let me get in all the things I want to do. At least, it’s worked so far this week: 5 AM – wake up, make breakfast, write blog post 6 AM – shower, get ready 6:30 AM – [...] 
I’ve reached the sugar-saturation point in the holiday season. The last week has been intensely cookie-and candy-filled, and now I want nothing more than vegetables, and tons of them. I didn’t eat all of those, but I came close. We had a couple holiday parties this weekend, and since [...] 
This weekend I went from being completely anti-Christmas (I did not listen to a single Christmas song until Saturday) to a little too holiday-ready given the fact that it’s not even Thanksgiving yet. I blame Michael’s, where I bought some holiday baking supplies… I just started a Holiday Baking [...] Last night, Mike and I put a huge dent in that bowl of leftover Halloween candy. I don’t want to think about it. At least we had this for dinner…nothing like kale and lentils to make you feel really healthy, even if you just ate far too many Whoppers [...] We had our week of summer and now it’s casserole weather! I have mixed feelings about casseroles. When they’re based on cream-of-whatever soup I definitely am not a fan. When they have rice and vegetables and just the right amount of cheese, though, I love them. It’s also perfect [...] |
