I’m so glad to be half-way through the week and to leave behind the dreary, rainy, foggy weather of the last few days. It hasn’t been especially cold, but with the monochromatic grayness, it sure has looked like winter. Last week the high temperature was around 76°, yet tomorrow, there’s a possibility of morning snow showers…
And the Beet Goes On…The Salad
Simple meals that can be thrown together without fuss or preparation are a lifesaver for families on the go. While I love a minimalist soup or stir-fry, the ultimate simple dish is, of course, the salad. This beautiful salad combines some of my favorite ingredients (spinach, beets, goat cheese, and walnuts) with a creamy and…
Monday Morsels: You know you’re a food blogger when…
People at work already think I’m weird (yes, a coworker actually told me this), but if they paid attention to me photographing my lunches and typing blog entries during slow days, they’d realize my weirdness knows no bounds. With that said, I give you: You know you’re a food blogger when… 1) …you eat your lunch extra slowly…
Resolutions Check Up + WIAW #11
Just like that, we’re half-way through the second week of 2013; if you’ve made any resolutions, how are they working out for you? Me? Well, uh… Let’s start with my health-related goals: 1) My gymnastics class started back tonight. Although I’m feeling infinitely better than I did a few days ago, I took it easy…
Sometimes You Feel Like a Nut (Butter): Artisana Review
The Tuesday following Thanksgiving, I experienced Christmas a little early: my sample package from Premier Organics arrived full of raw, organic Artisana nut butters! According to their website, the folks at Artisana believe in sustainable living; minimizing our collective impact on the Earth; and through our community, supporting the organic and living foods movements, the Earth…
…In With the New + WIAW #10
Happy 2013! I can only hope that the rest of this brand new year is better than the first two days of it. Since just before Christmas, I’ve been battling a pretty severe (for me) cold. I felt absolutely miserable Christmas day, and while I thought I was hitting the home stretch New Year’s Eve,…
A Whirlwind of a Christmas
This Christmas was a whirlwind—both figuratively and literally. Before the in-laws arrived early Saturday evening, Mark and I did a little last minute grocery shopping and had some lunch at one of our favorite places, Mediterranean Sandwich Company. Their “mixed grill” is out of this world—I can’t get enough of the onion marmalade and béarnaise aioli!…
Hurray for Curr-ay!
Having survived the apocalypse, I feel that having a special pre-holiday lunch for the office was the perfect idea for today. One member of management prepared chicken curry, seasoned basmati rice, and yogurt sauce, while one of the leads supplied pizza as an alternative. Healthy Indian Cuisine, meet Standard American Diet. Meals like this one…
It’s the end of the world as we know it (and I feel fine)
While I may feel fine, many in my hometown do not. This morning Mobile and the surrounding area saw its share of severe weather. The National Weather Service confirmed an EF1 tornado touched down along I-65 and parts of Midtown. Several trees (even beautiful live oaks 🙁 ) were damaged or blown down, but luckily,…
Handling Holiday Treats + WIAW #9
With Christmas quickly approaching and another familial feast on the horizon, many foodies, like myself, are full of anticipation. If, however, you suffer from food allergies or have adopted a vegan, paleo, or some other seemingly unconventional lifestyle, you might have begun bracing for a panic attack or mentally preparing a defense of your food…
