Salad

everything but the kitchen sink.

06.17.2011

My crepe lunch kept me full all.day.long, so when dinner hour rolled around, I wasn’t in the mood for much more than a summer salad. We threw everything but the kitchen sink into our bowls. Say hey to Nutrition!     greens from the garden, organic peppers, avocado, fresh English shelling peas, sweet corn, grated [...]

Why I Eat The Way I Do

05.17.2011

    I don’t eat a pile of organic spinach with crisp red onion, creamy avocado, tart chevre, raw sunflower seeds, quinoa with basil pesto and a grilled vegetable burger because I’m on a diet, because it’s the cool thing to do, or because my peers are doing it. I eat the way I do… [...]

seeing green.

03.17.2011

I am not a wee bit Irish. I don’t know why I felt it important to wear green today – I just really like this Abercrombie hoodie my roomie gave me – but I did feel it important to consume my greens today. I passed by the cruciferous cabbage for other green edibles at the [...]

Omega 3s Please

Sometimes I get the urge to put effort into making dinner. …but most of the time I prefer to let someone else wear the apron in the evening. I think it was all of the restaurant eating this week that gave me the urge to cook a simple, “clean” meal tonight. Wild Salmon w. Lentils [...]

Pizza for the Parents

I bought three dark chocolate bars at Trader Joe’s yesterday. Three. After lunch today, two remained. During my weekly [I kid not] Thursday trip to Target today, where I happened to stroll down the “chocolate aisle”, a new bar fell into my basket. It just fell right off the shelf, I tell you.

The second day of October kept the good vibes of yesterday alive. The blue October skies say it all. I enjoyed sleeping in this morning and getting woken up by my MOM :) Because we both wanted to get outside and enjoy the lovely fall day, we decided to leave the waffle iron for tomorrow; [...]

Beet Dead

09.18.2010

After dominating my race this morning, I proceeded to dominate my kitchen the remainder of the day. It had nothing on me! My banana peach waffle and latte held me over quite nicely. Then the clock struck 3:00pm and the carbs were called out of their cupboards. They proceeded to make themselves easily accessible all [...]

Can you hear my cheering? It’s the weekend – woot woot!! When you’re a full-time student, you quickly appreciate the weekends so much more, that’s for certain. Monday feels like forever ago. I hope that’s not an indication of how slowly the semester will progress. I just keep thinking of that diploma hanging on my [...]
