low-fat (Greek-style) quinoa burgers.

06.29.2011

I’ve incorporated the pseudo-grain into vegan apricot almond muffins, quick cinnamon quinoa ‘cakes, and many simple quinoa and black bean bowls after late-night sweat sessions. Now that I have 8lbs. of the stuff, quinoa recipes are here to stay!   On [...]

over the rainbow.

… along the river, and through the foggy Redwood-lined roads to Chico I drove. One of the things that I thought of as I was trying to keep my mind off of the slick, rainy roads and ugly motorcycle accident as I drove over the mountains today, were the items I had packed in the [...]

Hi. Hope you had a fabulous Fitness Friday :) 10 days ago I posted a tweet out of frustration from trying to make sundried tomato pesto in my blender. I don’t recommended it. I grew up with a full-equip kitchen, including a food processor and a KitchenAid stand mixer. I thought this was normal – [...]

one of those days.

06.22.2011

Hey hey. Hope you had a lovely Waffle/Workout Wednesday… whichever you prefer. Today was one of those days. One in which my morning bowl of creamy, oaty goodness was the highlight of my entire day. I get excited over oatmeal easily, and today I was extra enthused because I tried a new-to-me hot cereal and [...]

twenty two.

06.19.2011

If that isn’t one delicious way to begin my 22nd year, I don’t know what is. Per my request, my mom made lemon poppy seed challah French toast topped with Greek yogurt and fresh berries for my birthday breakfast. I enjoyed two scrumptious slices.    … and perhaps the most special part of our meal [...]
