Tasty Tidbits (Oatmeal) and Kitchen Dreams

Well, today is super busy at work, which means it isn’t allowed to be super busy anywhere else.  That’s how it should work, at least.  But before I got to work this morning, my mind was racing in a different direction.  Scott and I have been meaning to buy a kitchen island (or the cabinets…

Grown-up Life Habits

I’ve lived on my own for a while now–going on eight years.  Don’t get confused by that statement.  I’m happily married and have had roommates off and on for years before the whole marriage thing happened.  But for the purpose of this post, I’m going to define “on my own” as a time in which…

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…

Teriyaki Salmon with Sriracha Cream Sauce

Avocado Green: Soup Edition

Smoky Bacon Mac Experiment

You know that new macaroni and cheese cookbook that I bought right before I decided I needed to be eating healthier food?  Well, I couldn’t take it anymore.  Scott and I dove in with our first recipe from it the other day–Smoky Bacon Mac.  Sounds healthy, right? Wrong.  Cheese and pasta and milk and more…

Perfect Snow Day (and the food that goes with it)

I haven’t been posting about food much lately, mostly because of that silly flu bug that got me.  Food just isn’t as exciting when you’re A) not eating or B) barely making it through the work day.  But thanks to today’s magically beautiful snow day, I found some love for food again.   First, I’ll…
