There are plenty of good reasons to eat a salad – but I know that if I don’t make salad eating easy, it’s less likely to happen.
I went a stretch of days without eating a salad (gasp!) and it took me a second to realize it was because I’d fallen behind on food prep.
I’m all caught up now though! A bunch of greens have been torn up and washed and are ready to go – now I’ve got a couple days worth of leafy handfuls to throw into large bowls and then doll up for quick and healthy meals.
When I bought my bag of flax seed over the weekend, I snagged a bag of another now-infamous pseudo-grain/seed –>
oh, Quinoa – it’s been a while!
And with quinoa in my cupboard, suddenly I had quinoa stuffed peppers on the brain. That meant digging through the blog archives to remind myself how I made Quinoa Stuffed Red Peppers in the past.
Ummm, that was like my second post. Ever.

Me: Good morning everybody!
Condiments: Hi Alison!
Me: Who wants to be turned into dinner tonight?!
Condiments: [cheers]
Crock Pot enters stage left
Me: What about you, Crock Pot? You wanna play too?
Crock Pot: Yeah, sure. I guess so.
Me: [ignoring Crock Pot’s unenthusiastic response] OK, then – listen up.
Today is a full day. We’ve got a jam packed schedule of hiking with friends this morning, a meeting tonight, not to mention the usual house work plus tidying up for visitors tomorrow and hopefully squeezing in a ridiculous blog post where I pretend my condiments are actors in this weird dinner time play I’m putting on.
If you’re looking to catch fruit flies and don’t want to practice nabbing them with chopsticks, you can use this easy combo of ingredients to rid yourself of a fruit fly invasion.
All you need is a little dish, some apple cider vinegar and dish soap to make your own fruit fly trap.
Pour apple cider into dish and stir in a squirt or two of dish soap. Set dish in an out of the way place somewhere near the fruit flies.
Walk away whistling and pretend that you aren’t watching. A couple of hours or overnight, those suckers can’t resist.
