Recipes: Super Lean Turkey Chili
I make a mean turkey chili. One of the reasons I love it is because it’s really lean when it comes to fat, but super high in fiber and protein. My version has over 40 grams of protein per serving, and almost a days worth of fiber! Also, it’s delicious, and ridiculously easy to make, [...]

Happy Sunday! I never post on the weekend, seeing as how I like to give my fingers a wee bit of a break from the internet once and a while, but one of my August resolutions was to be more proactive in regard to planning my weeks. So, as I sat down at my computer [...]

I had a resolution to not buy any books for a while, but the calling of those bound, crisp pages got the better of me and I had a little book buying binge at Borders yesterday. I bought one as a gift (somehow buying something for someone else counteracts the selfish aspect of shopping, right?), [...]

The internets is a magical place, a place where you learn things like the fact that the movie you were in is not only premiering in New York, but also in California! I learned that yesterday while snooping around Facebook! Ahhhh! I understand that California is what some might call, a friggin’ huge state, but [...]

Last week there was an article in the New York Times, that pretty much everyone who as ever met me and seen me snap a photo of my daily nosh sent to me…it was announcing food blogging as a trend. Thanks NYT, but I think the word is out. Anyway, someone (not me) wrote about [...]

As usual, you all are right, I need to get my chin up and use my job for what it is: a stepping stone to the [...]

A couple of weeks ago the nice folks at Skinny Water sent me a box of libation to try. Normally I’m not big on food reviews of things I don’t buy myself, but my curiosity was peaked. You see, I kind of like flavored waters. It’s a guilty pleasure for a girl who otherwise exists [...]

I believe in signs. As my best friend and I braced ourselves for some competitive shopping over the weekend we came across the new light of my life, the Red KitchenAid Mixer. This can only mean one thing: One day, we will be together my love. Wait for me… Till that day comes I am [...]

Today, Black Friday, I did something I am very proud of. I decided to buy myself something, not now, but in about nine months. You see, I really, really want this (<– yup, that’s a link)super-duper-oh-my-god-I-can’t-breath-it’s–so-pretty stand mixer. I can’t really see spending $340 on a kitchen appliance right now, even if it is candy [...]

Sit back, relax, let me take you on a culinary journey that was my weekend. I have never eaten so much and so well in my entire gastronomical history. FRIDAY Friday started like any other day. Breakfast was an egg and avocado over whole grain toast. Lunch: brown rice with homemade daal and equally homemade [...]
