If I could outline the last two weeks of my life, it’d basically be a sandwich of INCREDIBLY INTENSE WORK DAYS and SUPER FUN WEEKENDS before an incredibly intense workday crashed into a super fun weekend and I was on a conference call at 9am on a Saturday getting made fun of for a voice…
*This is not at all true However! My Imperfect Foods box has made me feel like a domestic goddess because it has expanded what I’m cooking with its delicious products, not just produce. Behold, mahi mahi with carrot greens pesto over sauteed chard and kale: WTF is carrot greens pesto? Idk, I literally had to…
Now I have a new dumpling obsession after last night’s Luxe Magazine‘s Battle of the Chefs event where I ate Tanuki‘s scallop dumplings (they won the competition). I brought a couple of friends and my mom, which brought back so many memories of all the Orange Coast events I attended! Ah, a different chapter of…
Halloween is my least favorite dress up holiday because it’s so broad: you can be literally anything and you’re on theme. I abhor people asking “so what are you?” Nope. I want a theme and to creatively riff off of that. Alas, I am apparently in the minority and am actually attending a Halloween party this year—well, Hollaween…
This is not even an April Fool’s joke. I really did eat all the casseroles this week. All week. I am digging the casserole. You know what’s annoying? Food prep really makes life a LOT easier. It makes meals foolproof. It saves money. And calories. And it makes me happy. Here are the three recipes…
I agreed to do a Whole30 with a couple of friends. I volunteered, if we’re being honest. Why not? I was feeling less in shape after some very boozy pre-holidays and still searching for the next thing to be training for, so it seemed like a reasonable way to kickstart myself while figuring out what…
A followup to Half a Burrito! and Eat ALL the Pasta … in which I ate ALL the breads but it was okay because they’re BFreeFoods sliced breads and rolls and bagels—BAGELS!—and they’re low cal and gluten free and even relatively low carb. Buy at Ralphs or online (where it appears they’re currently sold out of most…
LOOK AT THIS HALF OF A BURRITO! I know you’re thinking why do I want to see a half-eaten burrito? BECAUSE I ate half the burrito and it didn’t fall apart! Because it’s like a real burrito! But without gluten! It’s not grainy like Ezekial and it’s not corn like corn tortillas and it doesn’t break…
This baby, found on the Banza website, is basically me. For as long as I’ve been able to eat it, I’ve LOVED pasta. After Paleo-ing for many many years, I don’t eat much pasta (but if it’s homemade, OH PLEASE I’M EATING ALLLLL OF IT), so I was pretty thrilled to find a pasta with…
(No)Bake Your Own Protein Bar Protein bars are an integral part of life for any athlete, and more and more for regular people. Protein is critical to staying lean, energized, and healthy. But commercial protein bars can be as bad for you as candy bars, and filled with all sorts of crazy stuff. I found…
