Savory Sun-Dried Tomato and Goat Cheese Palmiers

02.04.2012

Every month I meet with several other savvy women (hi ladies!) for a time to talk, eat good food and drink wine book club.  Every month we meet somewhere new and all bring a small dish that we can share “tapas style” while chatting about travels, jobs, relationships the book. None of us grew-up in [...]

Cheese-Stuffed Portobello Mushrooms

02.02.2012

I used to be fearful of Portobello mushrooms.  Okay, all mushrooms. I grew-up without ever seeing them on a plate and they never found their way into our kitchen. I assumed I didn’t like them. And then I started working at an upscale Italian restaurant during college.  Where we had to try each of the [...]

French Onion Soup Tartines on French Baguettes

01.30.2012

France.  We were spoiled enough to spend several dream-like days walking through its cobblestone roads and peeking inside every bakery window. I should be feeling extremely grateful for the opportunity and the memories it provided, right? Right.  I agree.  And I do.  Except that I want to go back. Sure, I’d love to walk through [...]

Forks Over Knives: Vegetable Noodles with Peanut Sauce

01.29.2012

This weekend we watched “Forks Over Knives.”  Have you seen this?  It’s an incredible film with irrefutable evidence of the life-changing effects a whole foods, plant-based diet.  This film follows around several individuals with varying “chronic” medical conditions and shows how following this diet can not only control, but reverse, these conditions. It was a [...]

It’s bad. Like step-in-a-puddle-and-get-mud-all-over-your-favorite-dress-pants-before-a-big-meeting bad. Like stuck-in-the-airport-with-no-where-to-go-for-hours-and-hours-when-you-should-be-lying-on-the-beach bad. Like get-your-face-stuck-between-two-railings-on-a-family-vacation-and-freak-out-because-you-think-you’ll-be-stuck-there-forever bad. No, just me? Eh hem.  Moving on. Are you ready for the bad news?  Sit down. Brace yourself. The gym I go to no longer receives The Food Network. I know!  How am I ever going to make it past 20 minutes on the treadmill?   [...]

3 Things on Thursday: Vegetable Barley Soup

01.26.2012

1.  I received this Tea/Coffee Tumbler as a Christmas gift.  I’ve had a lot of loose leaf tea that I wasn’t able to drink “on the go”  because it required too many pieces and cleaning-up.  This solves all of those problems with a removable mesh tea infuser that you just put the loose leaf tea in, add hot [...]

Dark Chocolate, Pistachio, Toffee Oatmeal Cookies

01.25.2012

I know some people have an online shopping addiction.  Sure, there’s the appeal of no lines, being able to shop in your sweatpants and purchase a few things during your lunch-break.  Me?  When I go online, it’s either to gmail, the news or something food blog related.  I don’t have much patience for shopping around, [...]
