Good morning Greener March Challenge Day 20! Here in the northeast we’re all reeaaally ready for some greenery outside too. Today’s juice was so bright green it …

I love eating salad out of this big blue bowl. It was a GO! GO! GO! kind of day, one of those days that I was very appreciative of the stock pile of greens prepped and ready to go because it made a green lunch really easy. My salad might not be very pretty, and …

Pizza Night

March 15th, 2013 | Posted by Alison Spath in Dinner Time - (5 Comments)

It’s homemade pizza night! Wait, scratch that.  It’s EASY homemade pizza night. A couple packages of Naan (Indian flat bread) for some fast, deliciously soft pizza crusts, veggie toppings, tomato sauce, shredded mozzerella cheese, and a glass of Cabernet in the corner up there. (For me, not for the pizza.) Pasta sauce, pizza sauce. Tomato, …

I am smack dab in the middle of a string of crazy days here. Not hard days, just very full days.  This morning started out with a 4 mile run, then it was a few hours at home to get some work done around here before taking the girls to an afternoon class while Kaz …

I am on a green smoothie kick. This Greener March Challenge has gone straight to my head.  And straight to my blender.  And then straight to my stomach.  I haven’t made green smoothies in ages, and now I can’t seem to stop. None of my the avocados from my most recent haul are ripe yet, …

These are a Few of My Favorite Greens

February 16th, 2013 | Posted by Alison Spath in Lunch - (1 Comments)

At this very moment, my house is quiet. Zak is at drum practice, the girls are off on a mini-adventure with a beloved aunt, the boy is napping. I can hear crickets. Yes, crickets in the winter. Hard to believe, eh? Well believe this – I just finished this kick-ass salad for lunch. The ass-kicking …

I had a bunch of kale in my fridge that was about to be past its prime, so I decided this was the perfect excuse to try out a new dinner side and (bonus!) make myself a snack at the same time. With a small baby man on the prowl, I do most of my …
