How I Stir Fry

In my last post I talked about one of my two “go-to” meals, a big pot of yummy soup. I mentioned my other "go-to” was a big stir fry. Just like with my soup-making skillz, I feel like I’ve gotten pretty good at making a decent stir fry.
I press a block of extra-firm tofu between [...]

Black Bean Chipotle Soup

I think my two favorite things to cook are stir fries and soup. (Mmmm…fries….oh wait. Never mind). I love them because they are easy, relatively quick to pull together, and are so adaptable. Plus there’s the potential for lots of leftovers and the ability to basically throw whatever you have in the kitchen together for [...]

Have Twitter, will Roast Chicken

UGH I had this whole post written and then Windows Live Writer gave out on me. Serves me right for not saving often enough!
Tonight, I was going to pick up a rotisserie chicken for dinner, but when I got to the store, they were all out. Not wanting to drive to another store (what if [...]

Valentine’s Day Hike Recap and a Vegan Recipe

Hello! How was everyone’s weekend? I had yesterday off for President’s Day so today felt like a Monday, and not a normal one at that, since I was in an all-day seminar all about mobile media that was way over my head. And tomorrow at work we’re doing a press conference in the morning, which [...]

My New Crazy Endeavor, and Why I’m Becoming Popeye

In my last post I asked if you’ve ever done a workout that made you say “WTF AM I DOING” halfway through, and a few of you said yoga. Well, I think I have stumbled upon the craziest of “WTF yoga” out there—Bikram. A friend of mine talked me into going to a class, and [...]

Easy Appetizer: Just Add Puff Pastry!

Well, another football season has come and gone (I know, most of you are devastated). On Sunday we had 18 people over to watch the big game, which was a tight squeeze given our small condo, but we made it work. I think a good time was had by all, and as usual we had [...]

Rah Rah for Raw Kale and Running

Good evening! Have you entered my “blog birthday” giveaway yet? There aren’t that many entries, so your chances are pretty good!
(Don’t call it a “blogiversary.” I don’t know what but I’m not a fan of the term.
I think the two ladies who I share my CSA goodies with are sick of kale, because I got [...]

Caught the Photography Bug Today

Hello there! I was kind of in hiding last week. Well, I was still reading and commenting on your blogs, but I felt uninspired to post anything to mine. So I didn’t. But now I’m back!
Today, I took a photography class hosted by my museum. (We do all kinds of programs/classes/lectures and sometimes staff can [...]

Pinot and Pizza with the BFF

Happy Last Day of 2009!
My week off is not nearly as relaxing (meaning, not nearly enough TV time) as I was hoping but I have been cooking and exercising, which were two things I wanted to do as much as possible without that pesky job getting in my way. Right now I’m mid-prep for tonight’s [...]

Crock-Pot Mulligatawny Soup

Super-cool news at the bottom of this post!! Well, cool for me, anyway.
I had big plans to do lots of Christmas shopping today. Go ahead….ask me how much I got done. I did buy 1 1/2 presents online…so that’s something, right?
I was really lazy today, and honestly,  it was nice. Except for the fact that [...]
