new food crush and everything wholesale
20. May 2009
So the new PBA of eating salads four times a week has been way easier to accomplish thanks to this bag of vegetable sunshine. It costs about $4.50 from Trader Joe’s and has three servings of baby spinach with dried cranberries, blue cheese, candied pecans, and raspberry vinaigrette (three lunches for just $1.50!*). If anyone [...]
weekend update: PBA, macy*s designer preview, etc.
18. May 2009
Good morning and welcome to a fresh week. I hope you had a good weekend! Mine was full of running (did a half marathon on Saturday to prep for the San Fransisco Marathon this fall), cooking (created a wonderful meal with friends for my running partner’s birthday), and eating (everything under the sun including two [...]
end of the week exfoliation
8. May 2009
There are a lot of exfoliations here, something tells me that the organiK Revolution giveaway might be slightly to blame. This batch is an eclectic bunch including a salad spinner and human hair. Isn’t hair a great exfoliation idea? Wait, let me preface this by saying only head hair counts (let’s keep this rated G, [...]
cheesecake cupcakes
27. April 2009
What a great weekend! Despite the erratic Chicago weather, I managed to get my long run completed with my running buddy, Bernard, on a windy 80* Friday and help observe Erwin assemble his bike (shipped from Michigan) on Saturday. We stayed home on Saturday night (recovering from Friday night’s antics) and watched The Namesake. Anyone [...]
food gawker + business questions
20. April 2009
Today seems to have a food theme and I’m okay with that. As I was drooling over the images of my dinner tonight, Natalie, a Jess LC lady, asked me about Food Gawker. I had never heard of the site, but my first visit certainly made me hungry. And my second visit inspired my treat [...]
grandma’s macaroni and cheese
20. April 2009
Yum. This wonderfulness is my dinner tonight. I got the recipe from my mom, but the cheese sauce is actually from my Grandma’s Cheesy Onion recipe. Since I had all the ingredients on hand except for the cheese, this was a logical, delicious, and inexpensive dish to make. I used to be intimidated by the [...]
cheesy oatmeal: super awesome
13. April 2009
I have debated about posting this recipe for the past three weeks. I got the savory oatmeal idea from Mark Bitman’s book Food Matters. And though oatmeal with cheese and pepper flakes is fantastic (and I have ate it 19 out of the last 21 days), it sounds a bit… weird. Nevertheless it is definitely [...]
blueberry muffins
2. April 2009
This week my aunt, uncle, cousins, and Grandpa were visiting me in Chicago during the kid’s spring break. I had a great time showing them around the city. I was even able to offer morning sustenance while they stayed at their hotel because I happened to bake these blueberry muffins found on The Pioneer Woman. [...]
pan-seared mushrooms
30. March 2009
Yesterday Erwin and I postponed our biweekly Trader Joe’s trip on account of the freak snow storm that hit Chicago for 22 hours. Normally we go before noon to avoid the congestion, but on account of the blistery weather we waited until the clouds (and crowds) parted at 4:00. Once we got home, I set [...]
pretty sweet peacock: party ideas
29. March 2009
I spent Friday night at an awesome jewelry party to raise money for a Team in Training participant. It is always fun to see how people prepare for these events. Generally some awesome appetizers and wine are included. But this event had unique twists on traditional finger food. Check out the awesome peacock, above. The [...]
naan pizza: serve yourself supper party
23. March 2009
This weekend Erwin and I hosted an impromptu dinner party with out friends Pete and Kaitlyn, of eatmyblog.org. In an effort to save time and money, I challenged myself to cook the meal using ingredients I had on hand. The result was personal pizzas made with Indian naan bread and topping choices including: chicken strips, [...]
pesto presto
20. March 2009
Easy homemade pesto, just like mom used to make should have made Last night I was busy watching the Michigan basketball game with my insanely excited boyfriend, Erwin. While we watched a surprisingly well played game, I tested this easy homemade pesto recipe by Curtis Stone. The ingredients are simple (all I needed to buy [...]
