I have just returned from Iowa! Did ya miss me? Did ya happen to see a 5 month pregnant woman running through the Atlanta airport last night in an effort to catch her connecting flight back to New York on time? If you did, let’s just pretend that wasn’t me. No, instead let’s chat about … Read more
Birds of a Feather. In Iowa. Eating Black Bean Brownies.
February 4th, 2012 | Posted by in Short or Sweet - (10 Comments)I get these “Your Pregnancy This Week” emails that list a myriad of facts and tidbits about the wee babe growing inside my uterus, along with any other timely pregnancy notes.

Let’s say you laid down on the couch this afternoon, kids busy and frolicking to and fro, and you decide to close your eyes for “just a minute”.

I’m on reprieve from my usual cooking, cleaning and other domestic duties for a bit here thanks to an early Christmas gift for the girls. We’re in Toronto! Me, two girlies, one fetus and one Granny Weeds. We had to leave Dad at home to go to that pesky thing called work. Don’t feel too … Read more

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 … Read more
One day last week I read a post by blog friend Erin who shared a simple recipe for a white bean dip. Seriously simple, seriously fast and seriously delicious-looking, thus totally qualifing as the perfect unplanned dinner. Beans, herbs, salt, oil, into the food processor, contents scraped into a bowl, veggies prepped, Ezekiel bread into … Read more
Have you ever run your finger along the side of the near empty Sabra container and wondered: “how the heck do they make hummus so dang smooth?” Have you then stuck that hummus covered finger in your mouth and wondered: “how the heck do they make it so dang creamy?” Well wonder no more.
