Tofu Toss

I bought a package of tofu last week at the store, and then I forgot about it until I looked in the fridge wondering what to make for lunch! I only started making tofu a couple months ago, but it’s really easy! I open the package, drain the water, and cut the tofu into slabs [...]

Last Meal

Well not really, of course, but it was my last meal at home in my own kitchen for a while! (Tomorrow I’m moving back into the dorm.) Thankfully, it was a really good one. I whipped up a salmon wrap: simply combine one can of salmon (for two people) with a couple spoonfuls of Greek [...]

Beware: even if you buy a fresh, boneless salmon fillet from the store, there could still be little bones. If you’re not careful, one of those said bones could get stuck in your throat. Thankfully, we have a lovely, local emergency room and I was in and out in probably under 20 minutes. That is [...]

Morning! My meals have been a little short on creativity since our kitchen supplies are running low thanks to traveling. But I did get to use a swag bag item: With my breakfast this morning! 1/3 cup oats with water, milk, one whole banana, flax, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Look at all that [...]

This morning was just nuts. I have no idea why, but I was rushing around and could barely keep anything straight. I finally left the house for work with (hopefully) everything in tow and in one piece. I did have time for a great breakfast, though, no worries. I started with this: Which I crumbled [...]

Ahh… Vacation was lovely! I enjoyed some good times, relaxed, and spent a little quality time with my current book (The Time Traveler’s Wife). Plus I took advantage of some good eats, of course. I visited a lovely restaurant, Blue Dahlia Bistro, which has a very cool mission that’s all about using organic products, considering [...]

Delicious Day

What a great day. I started it off with probably my best run ever, had lots of good eats, enjoyed a very luxurious nap, and am getting a lot of things crossed off my to-do list before I go out of town for the next two weekends. Fabulous day! There were halibut steaks on sale [...]

Excess Eggplant

I have so much eggplant in my fridge right now. Thanks to the persuasive powers of the guy at the farmers’ market last week, I have more than I need. I actually used some last night in my dinner, but it wasn’t that great so I didn’t post it. But today in lunch it was [...]

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 [...]

Since I’m going back to school in just a few weeks, I need to prep for those 5:30 dinners. Tonight was a perfect example. One of the best pizzas we’ve ever made…maybe the best? Tomato sauce, zucchini, summer squash, cherry tomatoes, mushrooms, red onion, olives, shrimp. I really do like pizza as a dinner (particularly [...]
