“Rough Drafts”

December 19, 2011 in Travel

Jenn and Meow Cow

There have been many adjustments the last few months since we moved into an RV. The obvious being a small living space and the constant moving. What surprises me is those have been the easiest changes. I love having less stuff and less to clean. (I can’t even tell you how freeing it feels.) I […]

Hard to Balance

December 4, 2011 in Sugar Addiction

Jenn balancing Yosemite

This morning I lay in bed wondering about the state of my immune system and pancreas. That’s what most people think about upon waking, no? Since moving into an RV and hitting the road many things have changed.  I wake up to different surrounding almost every day.  I have a small refrigerator.  I have about […]

31 Days to a Better Body: Day 12 – Remember to Eat

August 12, 2011 in 31 Days to a Better Body

Ice cream Clock

Sounds silly but it’s really quite common. Life is busy and many of us have such jammed packed schedules that we can forget to eat until we are so hungry that we’d rather eat that half a box of stale crackers that’s been sitting on the shelf then wait  the 20 minutes it takes to […]

A Tale of Two Organs

July 27, 2011 in Musings, Recipes

IMG_2792

Intense workouts?  Vintage inspired Tulle clothing?  C.S. Lewis?  Beef heart?  Liver? Yes, yes, yes, yes, and I guess…well..yes. I wasn’t surprised when I found out blogger buddy, Charlotte from The Great Fitness Experiment (who happens to be one of the the funniest and most talented writers I know) and I had “matching organs” in our freezers.  After […]

How to (I) cook beans and save a lot of money.

July 27, 2011 in Recipes, Vegetables

Dry Beans 2

Feeding my family high quality food is a priority.  Even on a budget. Enter the humble legume. Cheap, easy, versatile? Check. Protein, vitamins, minerals, fiber? Yep, it’s all there.  Thank you, little beans. I buy beans in bulk and cook big batches at a time.  It’s easy and saves me a lot of money and […]

Chipotle Lime Roasted Chicken

IMG_0255

Whole chickens are one of the most economical sources of protein. I buy them in bulk every few months from Azure Standard. To get the most out of a single chicken, I’ll first, cook and serve it as the main course.  Then that night I’ll make chicken broth from the bones.  The next day, I’ll […]

Creamy Basil Peas with Chicken or Pasta (and The Motherload)

May 17, 2011 in Main Dish, Recipes, Vegetables

Veggies 2

Our CSA box this week. Seriously, 24 artichokes, albeit, they are small but still…24! We also got English peas, apricots, lettuce, bell peppers, Tokyo turnips, cauliflower, potatoes, parsley, and  summer squash. It’s the Motherload. Today, I made the English Peas recipe that I had on my meal planner for yesterday.  I’m all about flexibility. First, […]

Simple Sweet Potato Chips Save the Day

March 22, 2011 in Uncategorized

How and why (far more important) to make sweet potato chips. PMS, which I like to refer to as Present Monster Syndrome, presents a set of challenges almost every month not the least of which are the cravings.  C.R.A.V.I.N.G.S.  Cravings, if not managed, will leave unwanted additions to my thighs every month and over time, […]

Grill Hero’s Sweet and Tangy Halibut

March 1, 2011 in Health and Food, Main Dish, Recipes

If you can see past the smog, keep your sanity in traffic, avoid gangs, and don’t mind earthquakes then southern California is a pretty great place to live.  Not only do we have amazing weather but in our smallish town, we have almost two Trader Joe’s (I say almost because one is being built), multiple […]

Tasty Tuesday: Classic BBQ Chicken Pizza

November 29, 2010 in Main Dish, Recipes

I’ve not kept it secret that I enjoy the taste of junk food, especially pizza. I’ve also shared my food ideals and reality.  Most days, I pass on junk food including traditional pizza.  However, deprivation isn’t any fun (and can lead to a binge) so to satisfy my junk food cravings I make healthier substitutes.  Not long […]
