Breakfast is my favorite. It used to be my favorite because it was a great excuse to eat giant amounts of sugar in a socially acceptable way. Cinnamon buns, I’m looking at you. But these days, I’m pretty obsessed with eggs. And hollandaise. Oh, hollandaise, you make my heart skip a beat. When I go […]
I try not to eat too much ice cream anymore (although it is one of the hardest things to turn down—which is how I sometimes end up with four scoops instead of one, which is why I must circle back to the try-not-to-indulge plan). But. July is National Ice Cream Month. And as I was pondering […]
I am on a breakfast kick. You already know I love eating my greens for breakfast, and I think you should too. I could seriously be happy eating breakfast all day. So, introducing: the best egg casserole in the whole world! True, there is no sausage in it. Actually, for me, that is exactly what makes […]
“Greens” is like a love word for me. If someone tells me they made a dish with greens (or any specific version of greens, like chard or kale or spinach), I basically swoon. I love greens. My theory is that we begin to crave the things we eat a lot. I eat a lot of […]
It’s the middle of February. Classically a time of year when folks lose interest in all their healthy intentions. How are you doing with your healthy goals? One of my ongoing goals is to eat greens in as many meals as possible. To be totally honest, I have realized that this usually means spinach, which […]
I’ve become kind of obsessed with cauliflower. Lately, I’ve been eating it almost every day, with beet hummus, for breakfast scrambled with eggs, instead of rice with Indian food. And then Sarah and I decided to combine our powers for good and make a colorful, healthy lunch totally based on cauliflower. I am NOT on […]
When I was in high school, my best friend and I liked to take walks through Carytown. We almost always started our jaunts at Montana Gold Bread Co., where we would snag a free slice of challah and slather it with butter before venturing out to a bench to people-watch and pretend we were cool. […]
I was a ripe 13-year-old when I first took a formal German class. Middle schoolers are delighted by the idea of pretending to be someone they are not, so it probably comes as no surprise that I thoroughly enjoyed picking out a German name to go by. (I’m still a little sad that this tradition […]
So it’s Spring, which is a beautiful thing. Except that my children have been rising with the sun. The very early sun. Before we go any further, I must come out as strongly against The Morning. Specifically, all of the hours before 8:00 am. I cannot get behind anything that causes me to get up […]
It may surprise you to learn that I don’t actually eat a lot of vegetables. I can go entire days without a vegetable, if you don’t count the tomato sauce in pizza. The problem obviously isn’t that I don’t like vegetables…I love them! The real problem is that I am busy and tired, and preparing […]
