So I lost all my nutrition points as expected because dinner was pizza and salad. I considered eating just salad until they dumped a bunch of cheese on it making it illegal too. But, you should see what I didn’t eat! I got here and my secretary for the weekend who didn’t know about my [...]
I’ve been taking an online Chinese food therapy course. I’m most of the way through the lectures so I decided to start making some of the foods and testing them out on my pets. First up – asparagus: I kept hearing over and over in lectures that cats love asparagus. That seems odd. But last [...]

I’ve been working diligently to keep up with the blog feed I subscribed to for Vegan Month of Food. I’ve learned a few things. From Veggie Converter I learned about putting veggie scraps (the ones I’m too lazy to carry to the compost pile) into a freezer bag until I have enough for homemade veggie [...]
It’s Vegan Mofo time again! All through October vegan blogs across the universe are posting daily recipes, food thoughts, menus, etc. There is a group of RSS feeds that you can sign up for since there are WAY too blogs involved to be able to get to every one. I signed up for the Healthy, [...]

The SO mentioned Saturday that we were invited to a picnic on Sunday. On Sunday as he was running around between acting in a play and tearing down the set. He stopped home to change his clothes. As he was literally walking out the door he turned around and said, “What are we taking to [...]

I was minding my own business reading my Facebook page when I came across this story from NPR. San Francisco city council has voted to ban toys in kids’ meals that are unhealthy. They define that as over 600 calories, over 600 mg of sodium, and over 35 grams of fat. I hate those cheap [...]

I crawled into bed last night after the SO had already gone to sleep. He woke up and rolled over and cuddled up to me. Then he said ever so sweetly, “Can I ask you for a favor?” Yeah, so my brain goes right to, “How is this even possible? You were just asleep seconds [...]
Another weekend, another chance to torture small children with vegetables. This weekend’s secret weapon for making eating better fun was fondue. The first course was cheese. Z hates cheese. We had bread, apples, and cauliflower to dip. She ate some of the apples but no cheese. That’s ok. She’s been crazily ambivalent about apples. One [...]
Since I’ve been home I’ve been catching up on shows I missed. One of them was Jamie Oliver’s Food Revolution. After watching Z eat french fries all week I was ready to fight to get her to eat some decent food. I just had to convince her father not to give in. He’s great at [...]

I have a coworker who is doing a YMCA fitness challenge and needs to keep a food journal. After reviewing her journal for the first week her trainer told her that she needs to eat more veggies. She wasn’t sure how to go about doing this since she doesn’t like them so she showed me [...]

I think part of the reason I’m not losing weight is that I’m being lazy with my cooking. I’m eating way too many carbs because they are fast and easy. I’ve written before about my love affair with soup. Soup is going to be my answer. It can be made up in advance and is [...]

I recently bought a slow cooker. So far I haven’t had great luck with it. I love the idea but everything I make is coming out all mushy even though I’m cooking it for less than half the time indicated. I went to the library today to see if I could get a certain vegetarian [...]
My brother and sister in law are proud anti-environmentalists. They are anti-organic, vegetarian, etc. My brother works for a church and they do a 40 day modified fast every year. This year the first 21 days are a so called Daniel Fast. My SIL is participating this year and was whining to me today about [...]
It is 6:30 in the AM. Not only am I awake but I’ve already exercised. The world must be coming to an end. I came up with another plan. I like plans. It is the follow through that I have problems with. Lately I’ve been hitting snooze too many times in the morning because I [...]

I saw this recipe at Joanna’s blog. It sounded delicious and horribly fattening. Hers were peppermint flavored but I’m not a huge fan of peppermint so I modified the recipe some. 1 cup butter 2 cups confectioners sugar 16 oz. semi-sweet chocolate, melted 4 eggs 2 tsp. vanilla 2 cups crushed chocolate Graham cracker crumbs [...]
