What’s in my mug today? (I can see almond butter on top.) Oatmeal! The cup is filled with oats (cooked in water and skim on the stovetop with half a banana mashed in) and topped with blueberries, flax, and obviously almond butter. Yum! And in case you don’t believe there are oats under there… Mmm. [...]

It’s been quite the busy day! This morning, I had the pleasure (and the challenge) of planning a gluten-free brunch. I decided on a frittata as the main entree. Into my ovensafe pan went (in order of cooking): onions, mushrooms, zucchini, tomatoes, diced apple, olives, and spinach. I let those cook together, added two whole [...]
All I really wanted for dinner was veggies, so my mother made this lovely simple pasta dish. The base was whole wheat penne with a tomato-veggie sauce. To start, sauté shallots and garlic in a little bit of olive oil. Add lots of quartered cherry tomatoes, tomato paste, chopped mushrooms, olives, and spinach. Mix sauce [...]

I don’t think I’ve ever had pasta e fagioli (the classic Italian pasta and beans) so I decided to make some of my own for lunch. This one was good, but not great. I couldn’t even tell you exactly what I thought was missing, but it was something! I’ll try it again soon. While some [...]
