This weekend has come and gone, but it was pretty marvelous. We managed to get out and enjoy the sunny (and hot!) weather and relax for the upcoming week. Friday night, we ventured out to try the new(ish) Lap’s on the Causeway, but with an hour and 15 minute wait, we were too hungry and…
To Everything There Is a Season… {+ WIAW}
We’re into our second week of September, which, in the blogosphere, means that pumpkin season is in full swing! I’ve even jumped on the bandwagon this week by digging into a salvaged can of last year’s pumpkin purée (that may or may not have been expired for a few months—oops!) for yesterday’s overnight oats (with…
Tuesday Thoughts {09.10.13}
1. You know you’re a grammar nerd when this Buzzfeed article makes your day. I especially love the “Comma Sutra.” 2. Those pesky love bugs have shown up in Alabama. Despite the fact that the front of my car will be covered in the less fortunate bugs, it’s good news—because AUTUMN is approaching!! 3. Speaking…
Roux Dat: The Best Gumbo in ‘Bama
Gumbo is something special. Every family along the Gulf Coast has their favorite, and it’s usually a family recipe, handed down through several generations. I may be biased, but I’m here to tell you that the Davis-Miele gumbo truly is the best in Alabama. If Mark’s spaghetti and meatballs (which I promise to share soon)…
Tuesday Thoughts {09.03.13}
1. This article is pretty hilarious, mostly because until very recently, I didn’t even realize what twerking was. (I may still be in my 20s, but I clearly don’t get out much.) 2. The best way to get through a slow afternoon at work? Desk chair dance party to the Pitch Perfect soundtrack! 3. Apparently…
Labor Day Wrap-Up
I hope everybody enjoyed a lazy (or fun-filled) day off work this Labor Day. And if you had to work, well, I hope you had a marvelous Monday to begin your week. This past weekend was full of fun and family. We took it easy Friday night after my in-laws arrived. Saturday we drove to…
Progress at Bikram
Today I realized how little fitness talk I’ve shared around these parts. Yes, foodiEcology is primarily a food blog (it’s in the name—hello?), but blogging is also a way to hold myself accountable to a fitness routine. I’ve met a couple of my exercise-related goals on my 30 Before 30 list (trying a yoga class…
What I’ve Been Reading Wednesday
Some days I just don’t feel like embracing my inner food voyeur by sharing what I’ve eaten recently (it gets kind of boring since I eat a lot of the same things week to week, not to mention my appetite today was all but nonexistent). Even so, I do enjoy participating in the lovely Jen’s…
Beer, Sunshine, Gators, and Frittatas…
Mondays never cease to creep up, do they? At least today—and the preceding weekend—was a pretty marvelous one. Saturday I decided to sleep in (well, try to—my body just couldn’t lie in bed past 8:00 or so) and skip yoga. I did spend some quality time cuddling in the chair with Iggy, so it was…
Lentil & Quinoa Salad With Grapes, Cucumber, and Hazelnuts
Some foods and flavors are obvious matches: peanut butter and jelly (though I will admit I didn’t enjoy that combination until recently), French fries and ketchup, cookies and cream, etc. Other pairings are strange on the surface, however, but work just as magically as “the classics.” I’m talking about avocado and chocolate (like in this…
