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 [...]

I’m here, I swear! I’ve been totally slacking on the blog posting, but it’s because I’ve been totally slacking on anything worthy to eat that I’d even want to share. At the beginning of the week Funk and I were finishing off Super Bowl food leftovers like salads with huge scoops of salsa and guac [...]

I know, I know. This bowl of brown who-knows-what isn’t much to look at. But bear with me, because it tastes amazing. This month’s Recipe ReDux theme is “Fresh Start – A New Approach to Breakfast.” So you may be wondering why I made oatmeal for breakfast, since its really nothing new. The method I [...]

When it comes to sandwiches, I’m a little picky. I am completely bored by a regular ‘ol sandwich like pb+j or a grilled veggie sandwich. But when it comes to big, bulky, piping hot pressed paninis? Show me to them. I like when sandwiches are stuffed with all sorts of fillers and grilled to perfection. [...]

Phew! It is a hectic week over here in the Funk household. I have something scheduled every night this week and Funk finished up an intense week-long MBA class before we jet off to Colorado to visit friends of the long weekend. So I knew dinners would have to be easy this week, and planned [...]

My mom gave me a recipe for Ellie Krieger’s Autumn Vegetable Curry, and I love veggie curry almost as much as I love Ellie Krieger. Wait, does that make me sound stalker-ish and weird? Don’t answer that. But Ellie is a Food Network TV star and dietitian, which is basically my life goal, so I [...]

Lately I’ve been eating oats – lots and lots of oats. Usually I’ll make a humongous batch of steel cut oatmeal in the rice cooker made with coconut milk, nuts and dried fruit so I can pop it in the micro for a quick, hot breakfast each morning. For this meal, I made something savory [...]

I haven’t made a good homemade veggie burger in a while, even though we eat at least one Dr. Praeger’s veggie burgers each per week. Sometimes Funk makes these grand veggie burger meals with the Dr. Praeger’s that I call “Funk’s Special” because they always wind up so much better than when I just pop [...]

Over the weekend, Funk and I joined friends for a day of imbibing! We went to a tour and tasting at Westport Rivers Winery, then a tour and tasting at Just Beer brewery, followed by lunch at a little hole-in-the wall restaurant called Bayside. As soon as I saw the specials menu, I knew what [...]

As an Attune brand ambassador, I’ve been charged with spreading the good word about Attune foods, from the Erewhon cereals to Attune chocolate bars and New Morning graham crackers. They’re all products I eat and support as a dietitian, so I’m always more than happy to spread the food love to others. Over the weekend [...]
