Over the weekend I was holed up in bed with a miserable head cold. The Nyquil-dependent kind of head cold that leaves me craving carbs in a serious way: toast, noodles, candy, and nothing more. Come Sunday night, I wanted something a little fancier than toast with jam, so I googled “vegan cornbread” and happily [...]

Recently I’ve had tomatoes on the brain. I’ve been craving things like tomato soup and veggie lasagna (with loads of chunky tomatoes) now that it’s so cold out, and I’ve officially stopped buying fresh tomatoes at the grocery store until they’re back in season. There’s nothing worse than mealy, dry, colorless “fresh” tomatoes in the [...]

          I did it! I fi-na-lly successfully made bread in my bread machine! Funk’s grandma gave me her old bread machine a few years ago, and after two failed attempts at bread, I put it away in the basement. I wanted to give it another try this weekend, since everyone says [...]

Over the weekend my parents hosted a New Year’s brunch with the usual spread of bagels, lox, fruit salad, sweets, and kugel. Wanting to add something to the meal, I flipped through my copy of Vegan Brunch, which is full of so many mouth-watering recipes (and photos to go with them) of all vegan brunch [...]

Tis the season for holiday parties and finger foods galore. I loooove me some party food – specifically chips and salsa! But I can’t always guarantee there will be something at a party that isn’t slathered in cheese or butter, so I always make a point to bring something that I know will satisfy me and [...]

This past weekend Funk went grocery shopping before I had time to brainstorm dinner ideas and jot some foods down on our shopping list. I hate going into the week unprepared food-wise, but this is a short week for food since we’re heading away for our friends Katherine and Craig’s wedding! So when Sunday night [...]

Recently I was contacted by someone from Lucini Italia Co. about reviewing a product called Cinque e’ Cinque. I read the description: “Cinque is a simple Tuscan chickpea flour baking mix that, when prepared with extra virgin olive oil and water, bakes into a mouthwatering frittata. It is high in fiber, contains 9 grams of [...]

This past weekend, Elizabeth and I packed our (day) bags and headed out to visit Jess for a little Stay-cation day of R & R & Food. Obviously. What do 2 dietitians and 1 RD-to-be like to do for fun? Hit up Chili and Salsa festivals in New Hampshire, of course. We went to a hoppin’ [...]

With Passover starting this week, we decided to use up some bread that was taking up space in the freezer. So Sunday night I whipped up some grilled Mushroom Mozzarella Paninis for a quick dinner. I started by grilling portabella mushrooms on our grill pan for a few minutes on each side. Next I spread [...]

It’s rare when produce goes bad in our kitchen, but after a few days of eating out birthday-style, we noticed the bananas were rapidly rotting in our kitchen. I stashed them in the fridge and came back to them Sunday night when I decided to “whip up” banana bread. When it comes to baking, I [...]
