Phew, I’ve been hoarding quite the stash of food photos from the last few days, so brace yourself. Friday Let’s begin with Friday, when the hub and I decided to redeem one of our latest Real Deal coupons. I am becoming sliiiightly obsessed with this whole Groupon-movement! And by slightly, I mean extremely. The deal … Continue reading

My First Green Monster
Hey y’all. Haven’t posted in a couple days, but with good reason. My dinners the last two nights were recipe repeats, and didn’t want to bore you by double-posting them! So Tuesday night I made White Bean & Avocado Wraps again. Remember these, made during my recent Vegetarian Week? I love this recipe! And Wednesday … Continue reading
Mexican Meatloaf and Brown Rice with Veggies and Green Chilies. And Cashew Cookies!
Mexican Meatloaf Fresh out of my recent self-imposed Vegetarian Week, I am making MEATLOAF. I have never made meatloaf before. In fact, I have rarely eaten meatloaf. I saw this recipe for Mexican Meatloaf in my most recent issue of Healthy Cooking magazine and well, maybe it was my slightly guilty subconscious wanting to make … Continue reading
Another Beefy Weekend
The end of another weekend. Phew, they sure do fly by. Friday Friday evening we braved the cold and headed downtown to Tio’s for dinner. I could barely walk the two blocks from where we parked our car to the restaurant. I simply do not know how I handled the cold back when I was … Continue reading
Breaking the Streak
Alright, time to come clean. I haven’t been the best food blogger the last couple of days. And I’m okay with that. I tried, I really did. This past weekend I made this recipe for Chilean Corn and Un-Turkey Chowder from vegetariantimes.com and it was BLAH. Tasteless. I partially blame the SUPER LOW sodium vegetable … Continue reading
Chickpea and Artichoke Masala and Pureed Broccoli Soup
Tonight I tried two new recipes. They were both just decent. Season with salt and pepper. I also seasoned with bouillon granules. To serve, stir in half-and-half if desired, and garnish with cheddar (this was my own addition). This Recipe is from EatingWell. Broccoli Soup Rating: 6.5/10 Up next… A vegetarian recipe from Aarti … Continue reading
Greek Avgolemono Soup Fail
Hey y’all. Today I did a ton of cooking! Can you believe I made THREE soups!? Two are currently residing in my fridge for consumption later this week, while the third was prepared for dinner tonight. Unfortunately it wasn’t the greatest. I had a mini internal spaz-out at the grocery store when I couldn’t find … Continue reading
Vegetarian Week – Day #7: Spinach Lasagna at Pizza House
Saturday was Day 7 of my self-proclaimed ‘Vegetarian Week.’ It was also ‘date night’ for me and the huz, so I printed out my latest Groupon purchase, highly-discounted tickets to the School of Music, Theatre & Dance’s Collage Concert. Before the show, the hub and I went to Pizza House for din-din. Started things out … Continue reading
Vegetarian Week – Day #6: Black Bean Tacos + Fried Pickles
Made it to Friday! Still going strong on the meatless meals. Veggie Lunch #6: Friday’s lunch, eaten in haste in my cubicle, consisted of cottage cheese + fresh pineapple, and, for the main event, a bowl of leftover pizza toppings. Remember the night before I made Black Bean Taco Pizza? I had a few leftover … Continue reading
Vegetarian Week – Day #5: Black Bean Taco Pizza
Veggie Lunch #5: Do you know what Whole Foods did? They changed their salad bar boxes! What? That’s not exciting news to you? Okay, it really isn’t to me either. But I will say that these new boxes, which are about two inches deeper, really do make you feel as if your salad is small, … Continue reading
