Happy July 1! I know I’m getting older because I’ve turned into one of those people who keep saying things like, “HOW is it July already?” I don’t even have anything all that exciting going on right now, and time is flying by.
Anyone doing anything fun this weekend? My agenda includes things like: running 6 [...]

Product Review: TofuXPress
Quinoa and Countdowns
Two more days…two more days…two more days of work until my vacation! I’m totally doing the pre-vacation dance. And the countdown.
Actually, that’s not even true that I’m done in two days. I’m working overtime at my museum on Saturday and Sunday, and we leave for Boston on Monday. Somewhere in there I need to do [...]
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.

Caught the Photography Bug Today

Speaking of contests, Julia Go Lean is holding a great one. [...]
Stir Fry Success: Warm Asian-style Slaw
Earlier today, we went hiking with Nina, Mitch’s mom, and her dog Cookie. We were out for a few hours and coming home, I was HANGRY. Like, falling asleep in the car and cursing every red light. Therefore, I had a big lunch (including the last of my vegetable soup) and wanted a lighter dinner. [...]
Not my best stir fry
Two nights, two blog posts! Not bad if I do say so myself.
For dinner tonight, I was on my own since Mitch has night class. When I’m cooking for one, I either a) get lazy and eat something from the freezer, e.g., the amazing vegan enchiladas from Trader Joe’s, or b) I cook something for [...]
