Good news! I’ve got an awesomely healthy delicious snack to share with you. Bad news. I’m not actually sharing this with you. I’m only sharing the recipe. If you want some you’ll have to make it yourself. Good news: Zak is still on his juice fast. Bad news: You can’t juice an avocado. Good news: …

Good News Bad News Chocolate Avocado Pudding
May 16th, 2013 | Posted by in Short or Sweet - (4 Comments)Well, we made it. It’s the last day of The Greener March Challenge. Whether you ate greens every day for the last 31 days or not, you endured my month long green stream of posts. I’m not sure if I should say “Congrats!” or “I’m sorry.” There were certainly a few highlights for me for …

This is quite possibly the greenest lunch I’ve eaten all month. It might even be the greenest lunch I’ve ever eaten. Like, ever ever. My dad reads the blog and sometimes he calls to comment on cute baby pictures or if I made something that looked appealing to him. But the other day he called …

I made beef chili this morning. It smelled so good that I decided to throw together an impromptu taco salad for breakfast. Yes, taco salad for breakfast. Stop looking at me like that.

A few days ago my dad (who is also a runner) asked if I was going to run the “Johnny’s Runnin’ of the Green” on Saturday, the annual St. Patrick’s Day race here in Rochester. I said no, I was too busy with half marathon training – and besides, I’d rather be Eatin’ of the …

I’ve got too many ripe avocados right now. Although I think this is comparable to complaining that your pants are too loose or that you have too much money. I like avocado and egg salad sandwiches, so I decided to throw some of my abundant avocado onto my over easy eggs this morning. This was an …

A Chili Morning (for a Not-So-Chilly Kitchen)
January 28th, 2013 | Posted by in Morning Craziness - (6 Comments)It’s cold here. (Like, really cold.) It’s so cold that it’s possible some mornings I turn the oven on before I even turn the coffee maker on. Just kidding. (Let’s not get ridiculous.) But it’s true that it’s cold, and it’s also true that cooking in the morning is a great way to warm up …

A lunch time quickie today! When I was a vegetarian, I truly didn’t miss meat. Truly. But now that I’ve been eating some meat again, I must admit. It’s good. Especially bacon. When I get good quality bacon from the local markets – or in this case, from Zak’s mom and step dad who raised …
