Yup... from last weeks post, you’re probably thinking this is a big step down. I was inspired by game, balanced cooking, Swedish and French cooking. I was and still am, but I want to be honest about this journey as well. Which means being honest about time and about the things I’m learning to balance.… Continue reading Adventures in Cooking: From the Freezer

Adventure in Cooking: Inspired to Game
If you read my other posts you know that I went to the book store recently... Well I got a cookbook. I have a few others and Nick has a whole freaking collection, but I think this is only the second one I have ever actually bought for myself. It’s about Swedish/ Norwegian cooking in… Continue reading Adventure in Cooking: Inspired to Game
Adventures in Cooking: Quinoa Bowl
Another first for me... making Quinoa. Which I’ll tell you now, I will be doing again. Love this grain in general, I’ve just been too lazy in the kitchen to diverge from rice. Mango, Avocado, and Black-bean Quinoa bowl. Also featuring red onion, fresh cilantro, and a lime honey olive oil dressing of sorts. Sliced… Continue reading Adventures in Cooking: Quinoa Bowl
Adventures in Cooking: Mushrooms go Mexican
Mushroom and Spinach Baked Quesadillas Mushrooms are right there with tofu, a little less baggage, but an even longer history of dislike and queasy encounters. Slimy, grey... they remind me of slugs. And while I’m fairly adventurous I can say that unless in a survival situation, I won’t be trying slugs. BUT, like tofu, I… Continue reading Adventures in Cooking: Mushrooms go Mexican
Health in a Nutshell… you know, one the size of Kansas.
Yup... going there. (That’s me trying to convince myself that I am in fact going to write about this.) Let me preface this by saying that I am not a doctor, dietician, or any other kind of professional. Everything that follows is just thoughts and feelings about my own health, my journey, the different seasons… Continue reading Health in a Nutshell… you know, one the size of Kansas.
Adventures in Cooking: Tofu and the Carry on
*this post is best enjoyed with a glass of wine or some iced coffee, in my personal opinion. .... got it? Ready? Okay, now sit back and lets jump in. Last week I tried to incorporate the complicated, diverse, misunderstood, and often misused Tofu into two dishes. But before we get into the details of… Continue reading Adventures in Cooking: Tofu and the Carry on
My Top 5 Indulgences I Have No Intention of Giving Up (and a giant F U to the toxic bullshit I see online)
If you write often enough, you also run into moments when you can’t think of what to write... even though you REALLY want to. Chances are you either gave up and came back later, smacked your head until you came up with some idea, or Googled prompts. I just did the later. Only to find… Continue reading My Top 5 Indulgences I Have No Intention of Giving Up (and a giant F U to the toxic bullshit I see online)
Adventures in Cooking: Roasted Veggies Attempt #2
If you read the first roasted veggie attempt you know it didn’t go well... but I’ve moved on from the rotten a$$ squash. I made sweet and spicy carrots... with cayenne, pepper, salt, and honey. And they turned out awesome. I cut them into similar shapes and sizes, marinated them in maple syrup, olive oil,… Continue reading Adventures in Cooking: Roasted Veggies Attempt #2
#monochromeathome challenge: Grey
A fun fashion challenge from @spagrettystylejournal and @moosoutfits on Instagram. This is the second time they’ve done this challenge, but my first. I missed day one and two but will do five outfits I think. Sweater is at least two years old and one of my favorites. Pants are from Target, a recent buy but… Continue reading #monochromeathome challenge: Grey
Through Style I’ll…. define not just my wardrobe.
Lifestyle... Style isn’t just about the hopefully timeless, beautiful closet. It’s about confidence, day to day living, and values. It’s a reflection of what you think is beautiful in the world. It’s on your body as you move through every day.... making it a part of every day and an influence on how your body… Continue reading Through Style I’ll…. define not just my wardrobe.
