March 10, 2010

I woke up this morning with the urge to get in the kitchen. The sun had just come up – my shining hours. I love the mornings and always feel the most creative and alive when the day is young. I knew I wanted to spend this morning making something yummy before time slipped away [...]

Who You Callin’ Nuts – A Recipe for Stove Top Granola

March 3, 2010

I mentioned yesterday that we started an intensive module class this week. Two weeks of  Global Communications everyday from 10:00am to 6:00pm with other visits in addition.
 
Like this morning, for example… We were going to a conference at Cephalon Pharmaceuticals European headquarters and had to leave the house at 8:30am to arrive on time. [...]

The best way to spread Christmas cheer…

December 22, 2009

is baking granola for all to eat!

I’ve been channeling my inner Elf all morning and have been bonding with one of the “4 main food groups” in the kitchen…

“You like sugar, huh?”
“Is there sugar in syrup? Then YES!”

Since I am broke (what? Just tryin’ to be honest!) I decided to make Christmas presents [...]

Musical Potpourri

December 17, 2009

My yoga studio here in Tampa recently started a donation based community class on Thursday afternoons. All the proceeds from the class go to the Exalted Warrior Foundation which brings yoga to wounded soldiers and veterans.

And for my next trick, I will make these candies…DISAPPEAR!

December 16, 2009

This doesn’t look like much does it? Kind of boring,  not a very pretty shape, nothin’ special. I don’t know about you, but lookin’ at the bowl doesn’t do much for me.

But didn’t you listen to your Mom when you were a kid? It’s not what’s on the outside that counts, it’s what’s [...]

It’s not YOURami. It’s MYami.

December 4, 2009

Today was the big day! The last hurdle to jump before departure day, which by the way is in exactly four weeks from today. That’s right…in just one month I’ll be hopping on a plane, saying “Au Revoir,” and beginning what is sure to be an epic adventure.
 
Anyone staying for more than 90 days [...]

A Pair and a Pear

October 13, 2009

Happy Tuesday! Let’s talk about pairs. And pears.
 
In an effort to pinch my pennies, I am making a conscious effort to reduce the amount of money I spend on food, and make some different choices to save some mulah. I’ve been watering my money tree, but nothin’. Enter Plan B.
 
Last night, as I [...]

Back to the Kitchen

August 2, 2009

I realized this morning that I haven’t been in the kitchen in days! Who am I??? Clearly, this was a problem that needed to be fixed.
 
After way too much time spent at the grocery store, I finally got to work in the kitchen. I have had my mind set on making a Miso Ginger [...]

Good Habit

July 14, 2009

I’ve always known I’ve been a bit of a repetitive eater. You know the type, they eat the same thing for breakfast, lunch, and dinner day after day (after day, after day…) but are happy as a clam with their few favorites.  I never realized how boring the things I eat actually are….until now.

Jica, what?

July 9, 2009

I am so intrigued by jicama. Maybe it’s the fact that I always forget the silent j when talking about it (resulting in many instances of public humiliation), despite the fact that I know it’s pronounced “hickama.”  Or maybe it’s the fact that I just don’t really know what it is.
