When My Blog Grows Up

I was looking for recipe inspiration today (grocery store day got delayed to Tuesday, so the recipe hunt is on), when I ran into this little gem: Sure, it might just look like a cookbook, but it’s also a beautiful blog.  I love it!  I might not have tested a single recipe, but the photography/watercolor…

Good Morning Things

I am not a morning person.  It’s a credit to my mom that she never resorted to throwing ice water on me to wake me up in high school, because I’m sure that wasn’t a fun job.  She did sometimes play the grand piano that was a few feet from my head, which I now…

(Swirly) Crustless Quiche!

It’s going to be an interesting week full of night shifts for one of us, day shifts for the other.  For me, that means trying to make good, healthy food to get us through our respective challenges.  That also means that if I feel the need to eat a candy bar at work, I’m getting…

Late Night Asian Turkey Cabbage Cups

Yesterday was a long day.  It wasn’t necessarily bad, but it started with me forgetting to drink coffee.  The day continued along relatively bump-free for a while.  Then came the headache.  It was a big honkin’ headache. When work finally came to a close, I found my way home for a quick yoga session and…
