I didn’t know about this event until this afternoon (after it had already gone live), but I still wanted to participate by sharing a post devoted to hunger. A few weeks ago, I reviewed the documentary, A Place at the Table (which can be viewed in your city or on demand at iTunes), and shared…

MIMM #4: Officially a Runner
Did everybody’s weekend fly by the way mine did? Despite feeling cheated of my days off, Monday began well with this energizing breakfast smoothie. Believe it or not, it actually kept me full until lunch (well, I did have a tiny handful of trail mix). Ingredients 2 handfuls spinach ½ cup Greek yogurt ½ banana…
Green Eats #3: Aaahh! Green Monsters
Remember these guys from Nickelodeon way back in the day? Well, I’m here to talk about a different kind of monster. The Green Monster. I don’t know who is responsible for first putting spinach (or any other leafy green) into the blender and calling it a smoothie, but to whomever you are, thank you. I…
Green Eats #2: Spinach and Sweet Pea Manicotti
Making pasta can be a simple and sneaky way to add vegetables to your diet—and I’m not just talking about a hearty marinara. Stuffed pasta is often decadent with its various meaty and cheesy fillings, but this delightful green manicotti stuffing is the perfect balance between indulgent and nutritious. Though Giada’s version is topped with…
Green Eats: “Edamummus”
In honor of St. Patrick’s Day next Sunday, this week I’ll be sharing some green recipes. Today’s involved 2 of my favorite foods: edamame and hummus! Though traditional chickpea and tahini hummus will always be my favorite, I will eat my weight in almost any kind of legume dip: flavored hummus (roasted red pepper is…
Whole Wheat Blueberry-Banana Muffins
Sundays are generally relaxed around here, and they’re the perfect lazy day for baking delicious treats for the work week. Since I had several over-ripe bananas chilling out (pun intended) in my freezer and blueberries were on sale at the grocery, I decided to revisit one of the first ever made-from-scratch (no boxed mix) recipes…
Having a (cake) ball on friday night…
How do you know that you’re an old married couple? When one of you spends Friday night baking these: And the other spends hours at a home improvement store buying materials to build this: Something possessed me to want to try my hand at cake balls, so that’s what I did. They’re cute, but truth…
Farro with Roasted Brussels Sprouts, Carrots, and Onion
After last week’s lackluster meals, which came together from anything we could find in the freezer, pantry, or refrigerator, we spent the weekend meal planning and grocery shopping. Tonight’s dinner is a marriage between one of the greatest, most under-rated (in the non-food blogging world, at least) vegetables, brussels sprouts, and my newest culinary obsession, farro. Farro…
10 Tried and True Vegetarian Meals for Lent
Though I’m not Catholic, I did attend a Catholic college and usually make some sort of sacrifice during Lent. Last year, we gave up alcohol during the week. Though we don’t drink a lot, we do often enjoy a beer or glass of wine with dinner. That honestly wasn’t too difficult, and we avoided consuming…
Crockpot Challenge #4: (The Best Ever) Slow Cooker Read Beans & Rice
My husband and I knew pretty early into our relationship that we would eventually marry and spend our lives together. Both somewhat phobic of relationships, we immediately clicked during my senior (his junior) year of college. Even our first Christmas was a special one, as he gave me one of my most cherished gifts I’ve…
