I can’t believe I’ve been doing my bootcamp program for a month! Honestly, I’m ready for it to be over, but I haven’t reached my goals yet, so I’ll keep on trucking. I’m having trouble dealing with the fact that my eating plan goes against many of my personal beliefs about food/hunger/losing weight, etc. But [...]

Finally, Fish That’s Not Dried-Out
Happy Sunday! I need to make this quick because I’m seeing a play with my mom tonight, but I wanted to check in and share a cool trick I learned for preparing fish. I don’t cook fish that often because Mitch doesn’t like it, but I love fish so I’m glad my new meal plan [...]
Baked Beans for a Lazy Independence Day
HAPPY 4th OF JULY! I hope everyone has been out having fun today. Me? I’ve been a total lazy bum I know, I live 2 miles from the beach, but honestly, going to the beach, with the tons of people and drunken antics just wasn’t appealing to me. Instead, I stayed home with my sweetie [...]
My, How Time Flies

Seasonal Selections: Hoppin’ Jalapeños
Hoppin’ Jalapeños (yeah I know that’s a crappy photo. And that pepper is on it’s way OUT. But you know what they look like, and I think I’m going to make a marinade out of that sad, sad pepper) We’re getting into pepper season, so I decided to feature the fiery jalapeño for today’s Seasonal [...]
Pasta Salad for the Potluck
My work is having a potluck lunch tomorrow to celebrate a few birthdays. And I almost wasn’t going to go, because I haven’t been feeling very happy about my food choices lately and I didn’t want to be tempted by the treats—and my coworkers can COOK, let me tell you. There’s usually the same fare [...]
Tzimmes, in Honor of Passover
As I mentioned in my last post, I consider myself a “cultural” Jew (or secular, or “bad” depending on who you ask). And if there’s one thing about the culture, it’s that some good eatin’ goes on inside Jewish homes. Since last night was the first night of Passover, I wanted to update a classic [...]
