It’s not surprise that I love granola. I’ve blogged about it a bunch of times (just type in granola in the search field at the top). Granola is one of those things that I can never find just right in the packaged version. As someone with a serious aversion to raisins I’m forever disappointed that [...]

At the end of 2009 I set a few food goals for myself (check them out here). One of my goals was to consume more fruits and vegetables. I figured juicing would be a good way to get more produce in on a daily basis. Believe it or not I have been juicing pretty consistently [...]
For me, when I’m home making dinner I’m usually doing one of two things. Either I’m watching The View (don’t judge) OR I’m listening to music.

The lovely ladies over at Coco & Lowe started a monthly dinner/dance party at Nyood a few months ago and this month I finally decided to check it out. Now those who know me know that I don’t go out a lot. I hate the crowds/scene on Saturdays, Fridays I’m often tuckered out and Monday [...]

Last year I had some fun blogging about my Food Goals for 2009. I fulfilled some of my goals, moved beyond some goals and plain forgot about others. With a new decade, a continuously evolving relationship with food and some more disposable income comes new food goals. Eat more fruits and vegetables – okay, I [...]
Last year I put together my wish list for the holiday season. While I haven’t acquired a single on that list I thought I’d put one together for those looking to get gifts for the food lovers in your life. My recommendations from last year still stand A Roasting Pan I was making ribs the [...]

The other day I was home sick and needed something to eat for lunch. My original plan was to venture downtown to get corn soup but as the morning progressed I started to get lazy. I began rummaging through my fridge in hopes of finding something to consume when I found leftover brown rice. My [...]
