I thought it might be fun to spend some time talking about whole grains today. Have you ever wondered why eating whole grains is important? Or what the difference is between whole grains and refined grains? Or how to make brown rice without it tasting bland? Then keep reading! Whole grains are different from refined… Continue Reading

Kale Caesar Salad
I think my apartment is haunted. Some of my things have been showing up in really weird places lately and last night my bathroom light turned on by itself. I’m not kidding. I know that you will try and talk me into thinking that I just left the light on accidentally or that maybe my… Continue Reading
A little bit of life…
I thought it might be fun to take a break from the kitchen and show you a little bit of life right now. It’s busy. It’s thriving. It’s awesome. Before I was a blogger or ever felt compelled to take a photograph of my dinner, I used to create art. I used to paint, make… Continue Reading
Energizing Green Smoothie
Hey dude that works the gym front desk every morning at 5 am. I know I look like a crazy person. I know that you see me stroll in here, half asleep, most likely still in my pj’s. I know that you notice me sometimes glaring at you from my one-awake-eye, wondering how you can… Continue Reading
Sesame Coconut Bok Choy
When life gets really hectic, there are always a few tell-tale signs that I can count on to remind me that I need to slow down and create some more breathing room. This morning I misplaced my keys, started crying in my panicked search, and then stepped my bare foot right into my cat’s wet food… Continue Reading
Farmers Market Beans (and social change)
Last month I had the opportunity to attend two amazing conferences: one on farm-to-school education and another on hunger and obsesity. I don’t know about you, but the amount of scary statistics out there overwhelms me. 52% of fourth graders in the United States now qualify for subsidized lunch?! 1 in 3 children in the… Continue Reading
Tahini Broccoli Salad with Cashews
Do you have a special video gamer in your life? I do. And because of this relationship, I am always the first one to know about new video games, new video game accessories, and what’s happening with Angry Birds. This kind of information isn’t my cup of tea. I couldn’t tell you the difference between… Continue Reading
Creamy Mushroom Soup
I think I’m having an identity crisis. Instead of dreaming about kale I’ve been thinking about cupcakes. Instead of listening to Sara Bareilles or Jack Johnson I’ve been rocking out to Katy Perry. And instead of sporting my usual casual jeans and a plaid shirt I find myself wearing… skinny jeans and a blazer? Something… Continue Reading
Apple Cider Vinaigrette
Thank goodness for spell check. If it wasn’t for spell check, I would never be able to spell words like recommendation, license, disastrous, judgment, and fluorescent. And don’t even get me started on vinaigrette. You would think that for someone who has to use this word almost daily in their work that I would… Continue Reading
Simple Lentil Dal
Are you one of those people who has inspirational post-its taped to your computer monitor? Do you write weird random messages to yourself? I ask because I am one of those people. My co-workers are already used to many of my weird habits: my giant green smoothies for breakfast, how I have to talk… Continue Reading
