Happy New Year!!! While 2011 was incredibly good to me, I’m feeling especially excited for 2012. I have a feeling it’s going to be a huge year and can’t wait to see what’s to come in the next 12 months. I hope you and yours had a nice New Years, however you decided to ring [...]

I get many of my recipe inspiration from blogs, twitter, or random google searches. Most of the time, if I’m craving a certain food, I’ll just type it into the EatingWell.com recipe database and see what they recommend. But every so often, I tear out recipes from good ‘ol fashioned magazines (I subscribe to Eating [...]

I don’t have many words for this post except: make this dish. Immediately. It’s another absolutely perfect Eating Well recipe and you can click here for the preparation instructions. If you love butternut squash, dark leafy greens, smokey tofu, a little spice, and hearty pasta dishes, you’ll want to make this asap. Ingredients: 2 teaspoons [...]

Have you tried brown basmati rice before? It’s my favorite variety of rice because 1) its whole grain and 2) it smells like popcorn when it cooks. I made a big batch of it over the weekend in the rice cooker, then headed to EatingWell.com to see what basmati rice recipes they had in store. [...]

I’m not really a big coffee drinker…anymore. See, I really do love it, but I don’t love the caffeine. About a year and a half ago when I was drinking coffee near-daily, I cut it out of my life, to see if I could get through a morning decaffeinated. And I found not only was [...]

Note: I just got a Mac (yay!) and it doesn’t work with my usual blogging program so I’m trying to figure out how to get my pretty layouts back. In the meantime, I leave you with this poorly laid out post that I can’t figure out how to fix. Whoopsie! I’m slightly embarassed to hit [...]

I took my inspiration for last night’s dinner from – surprise surprise! – Eating Well. Would you expect anything else from me? The recipe was for Wild Mushroom & Barley Risotto and I knew right away I’d use my rice cooker instead of standing over the stove stirring my night away over a pan of [...]

 I have two bags of Bob’s Red Mill bulgur in my kitchen and wanted to make a dent in them. In the past I’ve made tabouli with bulgur, using the easy soak method. But I found bulgur was just as easy to cook when I made a modified version of Eating Well’s Mustard Greens & [...]
