When Neil said he really liked this recipe, I asked him to come up with a name for it. All he had was smorgasbord, so this is the best I could do. This is kind of a stir-fry and kind of a sauce, and lots of deliciousness. First off, I have to give credit to [...]
Since Kansas City got a dusting last night, our flight this morning was delayed. Sadly, I didn’t find out about the delay until after I had woken up at 6 am and checked out of the hotel. Needless to say, I’m going to bed as soon as I hit publish on this.
On to happier [...]
I love, love, love roasted vegetables. I make them at least a few times a week with a variety of veggies: broccoli, squash (summer and winter), sweet potatoes, brussel sprouts, peppers, onions….you name it, I’ll roast it! A few weeks ago I attempted to make a roasted vegetable casserole so I could include my favorite [...]
I’m feeling the beginning of a cold today, so I’m lucky that I had already planned to work from home. I plan on resting a lot, some smoothies and maybe making soup. I started the day with a baking experiment.

Yesterday I went on what I like to call a “baking binge.” I spent the morning cooking stuff that I could freeze and have once I returned to work:
Frittatas, one of my favorite, easy-to-make and freezable 2 point breakfasts:
Lentil Soup Lentil Barley Burgers Black Bean Burgers. I froze all of these [...]
Last week I had the most delicious veggie burgers at Meridian Pint. They were Lentil Barley burgers. I tried to recreate them at home, but mine weren’t quite as “meaty” tasting. These are still delicious and will become a part of my regular cooking rotation.
Lentil Barley Burgers
Ingredients:
½ cup dry lentils 1 cup [...]
I’ve had sore hamstrings all day from yesterday’s boot camp, so I’ve taken it easy on the exercise front: a walk/hike in Rock Creek Park this morning and 20 minutes on the stationary bike. I also spent some time rolling my hamstrings out on the foam roller – it hurt so good.
Neil had basketball [...]
Last night after browsing a bunch of recipes online, I decided to wing it and put together my own pasta casserole. It turned out tasty, except I burned it a little at the end, d’oh!
Butternut Squash Pasta Bake
Ingredients
Butternut Squash, 2 cup, cubes Olive Oil, 2 tsp Kale, 3 cup, chopped (you could probably [...]
In addition to setting goals for my race, I’ve set some mini goals for the week.
Include carbs at every meal. I thought this would be the easy part, but it’s actually been a little bit of a challenge. OK it really hasn’t been that hard but does take some planning. Aside from the [...]
The trees in DC are slowly but surely changing colors. There is still a quite a bit of green though.
I <3 fall colors and fall food, especially squash.
My brother and his fiancé have been coming over once a week to watch Dexter (my current favorite TV show) since they don’t [...]
