One of my guilty pleasures is Martha Stewart’s living. I don’t think I’ve ever done one of her arts and crafts or even made a recipe straight out of there, but I love to look at it anyway. Her Halloween edition has always been one of my faves. This year, I saw her broken glass… [read more]
Mocking Macaroni: It’s not a Laughing Matter
My favorite meal of all time is probably macaroni and cheese. I like mine best crispy on top, creamy in the middle and made from scratch. I love it so much that even the Kraft blue box will do. I’ve been known to consume an entire box in one sitting. I used to get those… [read more]
Eat Like the Animals: Pachyderm Potatoes
Before I start the recipe for this post, I am going to put my two cents in about the influx of sweet potato fries to every fast food restaurant and burger joint in town. Personally, I think sweet potato fries are more tasty than regular potato fries. Regular fries don’t have a lot of flavor… [read more]
Transformers, Pasta in Disguise: Spaghetti Squash
I don’t like most fake pastas. I’ve tried those shirataki noodles that Hungry Girl raves about and they made me sick. I just can’t take the weird mouth feel of them. I’m not even a big fan of wheat pasta. I like Dreamfields, but my blood sugar reacts to that almost like it does normal… [read more]
Kohlrabi : Bake me to Your Leader
I think most grocery store produce departments have what I call the “wtf section.” I just imagine that the poor produce manager hits a key and accidentally orders something like lycee fruit or nopales. When then these things show up to the store, they exclaim, “WTF is this stuff?” The people at the cash registers… [read more]
Eat Like the Animals: Maned Wolf Munchies
This is another in my zoo animal series. It’s a project I did this summer that centers around teaching kids what the animals eat and encouraging healthy eating habits. This treat is designed for a canid. The maned wolf is the largest canid of South America, resembling a large fox with reddish fur. I… [read more]
Peanut Butter & Pumpkin Dog Snacks: Tootie’s Birthday
T Even though this blog is about human food, I’m going to take a little space here to show you something for your furry friends. They deserve whole, healthy living too. My dog’s birthday was a few weeks ago and I like to make her “cookies” occasionally. I don’t really like to buy those store… [read more]
If You Can’t Beet Them, Enjoy Them
Beets are another one of those foods that I think people only hate because they haven’t really had them prepared properly. I remember those pickled, salad bar type beets of my youth. They tasted like dirt to me and made a big mess. We ate them a lot in my house, and I’m not sure… [read more]
Parsnips Attacked: The Scared Carrot
With the low carb fad in full swing, it seems like everything in the grocery store wants to masquerade as a potato for a day. There’s celery root, cauliflower and jicama to name a few. Low carb dieters must crave french fries and bacon more than anything. Today’s masquerader is parsnip. Someone told me that… [read more]
You Got Peanut Butter in my Protein Bar
I’ve been training for a marathon, and I mentioned that I sometimes make my own protein bars to use when I’m running. I really can’t stand traditional protein bars or running “fuel.” Cliff bars make me gag. Gu or sports gels make me throw up. Besides, if you read the ingredients on these things, they… [read more]
