Breakfast 9-26-11
It’s been a super long time since I did a What I Ate post. To be completely honest the more routine my days got, so did my meals. Now that I’m self-employed and summer is over I look forward to spending more time in the kitchen yet again.
Dinner 5-25-11
Turkey sandwiches with a bowl of kale + bean stew.
Camera: Nikon D700
Lens: Nikkor 105mm f/2.8 Micro
Kale + Bean Stew
Chris has been on a food detox for a while now, cutting back the processed foods and having little to no dairy. As I type he’s munching on the leftover kale stems from a salad I just made – this kid means business.
Angry Chocolate
Okay, this post has nothing to do with angry chocolate, but I’m about to chronicle my journey into candy land and I have to ask: Does anyone else find themselves giggling while reading about tempering chocolate? All I see in my head is a Hershey’s Kiss with a big frowny face and V-shaped brow.
Banana Date Bread, Revisited
Ever since Chris went gluten-free I have been evading bready recipes like the plague. And I’m not just being a sissy, either – the very first attempt I made at baking a GF treat for the hubs was a huge disaster.
Balsamic Strawberry Jam
I’ve always been a fan of weird food combos, as evidenced by this post where I basically grossed most everyone out, apparently. So, while others may have an opposite reaction, when I first read about a no-pectin strawberry jam made with balsamic vinegar, my first thought was “YUM!”
The recipe comes from Savory Sweet Life...
Coconut Date Balls
I post about food a lot, huh? ;)
What can I say – my life revolves around it. I love to cook, I love to eat and I love to take pictures of what I eat. So, naturally, I love to blog about what I eat, too.
Lunch 12-19-2010
The other day I had some great spur-of-the-moment fusion food. It looks a tad boring in the photo but I assure you it was bursting with flavor, and my nose was running before I was even halfway finished.
It happened like this: Chris was heating up some beans and rice.
Dinner 8-24-2010
Cheese tortellini from Trader Joe’s and homemade gluten-free Alfredo sauce (which is pretty pointless poured over traditional pasta, but I still made it for the sake of experimenting for future dinners). The garnish is just a leaf of basil and a few shakes of black pepper.
Afternoon Snack 8-4-2010
Curried mashed potatoes and soy sauce; leftovers from the night before.
A treat I first had at a dinner party with my favorite vegans, Tatton and Gina.
To prepare… Cook a medium pot full of your favorite potato until the skins begin to fall off the potatoes (about 20-30 minutes).
Dinner 5-20-2010
Pizza made with Bob’s Red Mill’s Gluten-Free Pizza Crust Mix.
Toppings in order of appearance: Trader Giotto’s pizza sauce, parmesan, New Zealand White Cheddar, prosciutto, diced tomato, fresh basil, chevre, black pepper and garlic powder.
Normally we make our own cornmeal crust from scratch, but Chris picked this mix up at the store on accident so we...
Fusilli Chili
Chili and pasta is one of those great comfort foods that really makes me think of home. I first had the dee-licious combo from my MIL, and considering we’re gearing up for a family road trip next weekend it’s no wonder I had the hugest craving for it last night.
