I am determined to not have another weekly recap which is actually three weeks’ worth – so even though this week is half over, here is a recap for last week and the week before. Let’s start with the week before last and what I managed to fit into my free time: 3 yoga classes […]

Adopt a Gluten-Free Blogger, an event created by Sea of Book of Yum and hosted this month by Lauren from As Good As Gluten, snuck up on me more than usual. I adopted Debi of Hunter’s Lyonesse and had plans to make her  Flourless Pumpkin Pie Cookies as well as her easy Horchata and Pumpkin […]

Spiced Quinoa

Curried Mango Quinoa 006

Happy Monday and Happy Halloween… in the spirit of quick recipes and behind-the-scenes lunchbox-ing (no, I am still not sure what to do about that series… ahem) I wanted to talk about using my rice cooker as a shortcut tool. I find it particularly useful for quick quinoa dishes, in addition to cooking dried beans.  […]

{Today’s Lunchbox} An Update

October 31, 2011
More kitchen pictures 001

Happy Sunday! As regular readers may have picked up, the lunchbox series has unofficially gone on a bit of a hiatus for a few… many reasons. Some of it is the bad light in the morning (can.not.wait.for.end.of.Daylight.savings), some of it is that after 13 months of nearly uninterrupted lunchbox blogging, I started running out of […]

Last weekend I attended the inaugural Take Back Your Health conference, an event organized by Robin Shirley and Ryan McGrath designed to be an educational platform about different alternatives and approaches to good health. You might remember that I wrote about this conference a few months ago when I  offered a giveaway for a ticket […]

Rustic Cranberry Pumpkin Spice Biscotti

cranberry pumpkin spice biscotti 022

Happy Monday! Have a biscotti. When I still ate gluten, biscotti were one of my absolute favorite things ever.  I liked them crunchy and small and would eat them with chai lattes, or slightly larger and softer, though I would invariably rail a bit that a biscotti should be small and crunchy.  Even then, I […]

October 23, 2011
various 011

This was this past Thursday’s lunchbox – you can see it has a kale salad and some of the components from lunchboxes earlier in the week (grey hummus, curry-spiced quinoa, leftover squash).  The highlight of my lunchbox, though, was the roasted sweet potato topped with Protein Fluff, a concept I saw on Gina’s blog, Fitnessista.  […]

{Today’s Lunchbox} Can we say grey is purple?

October 23, 2011
various 007

Yes, I know, there are grey blobs dollops in my lunch.  Mauve grey dollops, so maybe purple?  Purple dollops sounds marginally better than grey blobs.  Those dollops/blobs are hummus made with black beans and white beans. I actually debated skipping posting this lunchbox, but here is the thing: it was actually a really good lunch.  […]

Happy Sunday!  I am slowly but surely catching up on my lunchbox posts for this week.  I have an idea for how to change things up with the lunchbox series but first, here is this past Tuesday’s lunchbox: Chopped lettuce topped with a variety of leftovers and another experiment with curry-spiced quinoa (recipe coming next […]

crafty bastard 2011 (3)

So yes, I fell off the weekly recap phase – that said, I tend to write my weekly recaps as much for my own recollection as for you all, so I decided to do a mega recap of three weeks’ worth.    My birthday was in the middle of these past three weeks, so there were […]

Happy Monday – I did not bring a lunchbox to work today, so I thought I would share instead a Sunday lunchbox from a few weeks’ back, which included kale topped with curried quinoa (I think I finally have my spice ratio settled on this – recipe coming soon!), miso, cashews and chopped peppers, along […]

On Birthdays and Types and Movement

birthday 2009 dreamboard

It was my birthday last week. I celebrated my 33rd birthday, a birthday which I anticipated with a lot of trepidation.  I know aging is something I should embrace gracefully, but I don’t.  Part of it is fear, and part of it is identity.  I started school early, graduated from college at 19, and, even […]

I ended up not eating the crackers in this lunchbox, so this lunchbox is very similar to the one from the previous day: Speedy Butternut Squash and Black Bean Salad Masoor Dal Living Spoonful crackers, leftover from my September trip These crackers are, incidentally, really amazing if you like pesto, which I do. Even though […]
