Indulging in Crushes

March 28, 2013

Prepare for me to over share to a public audience. I have a crush. On a boy. Normally, this wouldn’t be a huge deal. I have a crush on the 18 year old cashier in Whole Foods because he remembers the last time I was in the store, can recognize when I just came from [...]

Caribbean Sweet Potato Soup

March 12, 2013

I’m pretty sure my diet has primarily consisted of soup for the past 5 weeks. This little tidbit was brought to my attention at work when one of my co-workers mentioned that I’ve been making a lot of soup lately. Nothing like being called out by my team. This soup obsession is real and I [...]

For the love of lemon

March 5, 2013

I seriously love lemon. Every day starts with hot lemon water. Lemon slices are always in my water bottle. Lemon bars, lemon muffins, lemon meringue pie, I’ll take it all. Minus that pesky wheat flour. I’m trying my best to adapt a lot of my favorite old recipes into paleo versions because then I can [...]

Bolognese Soup

February 12, 2013

You read that title correctly. Just go with me on this one. I love tomato soup. Like really love it. Always have, although my preference from age 2 to about 22 was Campbells. And now in my sophisticated mid-twenties I’ve moved up in the world to homemade. And by homemade I mean purchasing canned tomatoes [...]

Raw

February 4, 2013

They saw art imitates life, but sometimes so do recipes. I made a raw cheesecake two weeks ago to take to a friends house for dinner but little did I know how similarly I’d feel that night. Raw. Six hours before dinner I found out that my boyfriend had cheated on me with girl who [...]

Make me a winner!

January 8, 2013

Okay, my narcissistic side is saying “Well, duh, I’m already a winner” but I’m savoring five seconds of local fame. My gluten-free gingerbread cake recipe is one of the Whole Foods Cooking recipe finalists and I would absolutely love it if you, all of you, could take two seconds to vote for me. I don’t know [...]

The Blues

January 6, 2013

There is something about returning back to work and a somewhat normal schedule after the holidays that is always a let down. I love routine, more than most people, but I also really enjoyed sleeping in and not having responsibility for a few days. It snowed in Pennsylvania while I was in town for Christmas [...]

Comfort Cake

December 19, 2012

If there is one thing my Mother would tell you about me it is that I don’t like change. This is partially true, I’d like to think that I’m becoming more accepting of change, seeking it out on my own. But sometimes life gets rattled, things change too quickly for me. People come and go [...]

Thankful

November 13, 2012

I’m having a hard time believing that it is actually the middle of November and that Thanksgiving is a week away. Where is my time going? (photo credit) Between wrapping up training for three bridges, lots of cross training, becoming a lulu, and balancing increased work responsibilities with some fun freelance work, I’m forced to [...]

Zucchini Shrimp Scampi

October 26, 2012

I’ve had a vegetable spiralizer on my want list for a long time but couldn’t bring myself to buy one more kitchen thing. But leave it to my mom to find a great set of julienne peelers (although I’m sure she thought I was nuts wanting to make zucchini noodles). I first used the peelers [...]
