I usually don’t post on the weekends but since I don’t want to clean the kitchen love you so much, I thought I’d share a fun workout Brent and I did this evening.  As the weather was perfect and the sun was just starting to set, we decided to workout in the backyard.  Who said kettlebells […]

I’ve mentioned it before but I’m not crazy about vegetables.  I like vegetables and will choose to choke down a plate of plain swiss chard because I know it’s good for me.  However, if I didn’t know the things I know about food, I’d probably eat things like fish & chips or pizza (and I’m […]

Like motivation, inspiration comes and goes. Sometimes, I go weeks eating the same thing day after day. Then suddenly, I’m inspired and spend the next 3 weeks experimenting and creating new recipes all crazy like Willie Wonka…but without the sugar…and the top hat. Here is one of my newest recipes.  It’s easy and healthy.  I’m […]

I love Trader Joe’s.  LOVE it.  I love it so much that I have been seen waiting outside 15 minutes before they open their doors with the other crazies.  I’ve also said many times that I couldn’t live in a town where there wasn’t a Trader Joe’s.  That’s not spoiled, that’s being realistic.  However, believe […]

Let’s just pretend summer started this week and I’m actually on top of things.  As promised, introducing the summer salad series.  Over the next few months I’m going to do my best to try out a new salad every week.   This week Pears and Peppers.  I was going to say “peppered pears” but that […]

I could eat pizza everyday.  Except that I try to limit white flour products and most “whole wheat” pizza crusts at the store aren’t really whole wheat.  Not to mention in an “ideal world” I would only eat sprouted wheat but unfortunately that is not my real world.  Enter the Ezekiel tortilla.  Ezekiel bread has […]

Salmon regularly makes the different so called “superfoods” lists. (Here, here, and here.) Unlike broccoli I actually enjoy eating salmon. Especially when someone else cooks it. A few months ago Brent put together this recipe. It’s been a favorite of mine since. Salmon Patties 6 oz Can of Wild Salmon 2 pieces of Ezekiel Bread 2 […]

Went to the cupboard. Despite being close to the show. When she got there The cupboard should have been bare Since she has trouble with “NO”. Here’s a recap of the competition from yesterday. The competition was an hour away from my house (w/o traffic) in Hollywood so I had decided I’d drive down in […]

artichokes!!!!!  Leave’em out if ya don’t like’em. This is one of my last minute “I don’t know what to cook” recipes because the ingredients are all staples in my kitchen.  It’s that easy and quick and most importantly good for you.  And honestly I don’t really know if you can even call this Chicken Piccata. […]

I happen to love chicken and will often go for days having meal upon meal of chicken.  Even so sometimes I need a change. The other night was one of those nights so I ran to Trader Joe’s and splurged on sashimi grade ahi tuna. We seared it and I threw together a super simple […]
