Leftover Remix

February 12, 2010

Leftovers.
 
Even just the word doesn’t sound too appealing, not to me at least. Nope, I’ve never been much of a leftovers kinda gal, but lately I’ve been inspired to jazz them up a bit and make something new.
Some leftovers are easy to use. Like this jar for example. It’s technically a leftover, recycled [...]

Everything But Rice

October 15, 2009

Oh, I’m good. Really good.
 
Tonight I made something delicious in the rice cooker. Nope, not rice. A stir-fry, with a new ingredient:

I zapped the sweet potato (which was $0.45!) in the microwave while  I went to work on the veggies. I chopped up the chicken sausage first and let it sizzle for a bit [...]

I Need A Drink

June 1, 2009

After a long day of cooking, errand running, doggie watching and working at the studio, I was ready for a cocktail.
 
I knew I needed something strong. A good, stiff drink…

Hey, wait a second. That’s not a cocktail.  Or is it? It sure had me feelin’ good! Just the same as yesterday. A simple [...]

You Just Can’t Beet It

May 25, 2009

Say hello to my new favorite food…
 
Yep, I love ‘em. I’ve been wanting to make these since my first taste the other night. They are so easy, and so healthy for you (click this link for lots of great beet info!). All you have to do is chop the greens off the top, stick ‘em [...]

Spinach and Feta Stuffed Chicken

April 8, 2009

Cooking is like my moving meditation. I get totally lost in the flow of chopping, dicing, stirring, sautéing, baking. Hours could go by in the kitchen and I wouldn’t even know it. Something about preparing healthy, delicious food is so deeply satisfying and calming. Between making tofu and veggie kebabs for lunch, and preparing tonight’s [...]

Almost Home

April 1, 2009

I think after my intense monitoring of weather.com today I should consider a career in meteorology. According to my calculations (see? I sound so official.) I should have the all clear to drive home tonight! YIPEE.
 
In between looking at the radar and reading the hourly forecast, I managed to do a little bit of [...]

Microwave Magic

March 24, 2009

This morning’s yoga session with Ashley went great! I had a lot of fun “teaching” her (so weird!). She is not new to yoga and is very strong and flexible so I got to play with some more challenging sequences and balances. We worked up a sweat with some rigorous sun salutations and warriors, detoxified [...]

Not So N.E.A.T.

February 2, 2009

The other day, Kath did a post on NEAT, which is basically non-exercise exercise! Well, I participated in absolutely NO NEAT today! This really is a neat concept and makes a lot of sense however, today I have been deskbound save for my outing to Publix. Oh exams, the toll you take on me! It’s [...]
