In law school, when I was short on cash (almost always), or on a health kick (every time my jeans felt too tight), I would decide to be good and pack myself lunch everyday. I ate the same thing every single day — turkey sandwich on wheat — but I never got bored of eating…read more »
Blueberry Muffins
I woke up this morning with the most intense craving for a gigantic blueberry muffin. You know, one of those sugar-crusted monstrosities from Costco that’s packed to bursting with fat blueberries. Those things are so bad for you, but they’re so delicious! They’re really just dessert masquerading as breakfast. (Which is fine by me —…read more »
Zucchini Cakes
I think it’s safe to say that the zucchinis have won. Dan and I are officially sick of the stuff — we’ve eaten zucchini in some form or another every single day this week. Roasted, mainly, but also sauteed, mixed in with scrambled eggs, and cut into strips for fries. These zucchini cakes were a…read more »
Pan Seared Tilapia with Avgolemono Sauce
I’ve been in kind of a cooking rut lately. I haven’t been reading as many cooking blogs, and no recipes have been particularly eye-catching or inspiring. So, we’ve been eating a lot of delivery — Chinese food, Domino’s…the usual junky suspects. And lets not forget the long weekend in Colorado, where we gorged ourselves on…read more »

Eggs-in-a-Hole
Dan (on the phone): “What are you up to?” Me: “I’m making eggs in a hole.” Dan: “…why are you in a hole?” Me: “No, I’m making eggs in a hole. Like…cooking eggs inside a piece of bread.” Dan: “Weird.” Actually, eggs-in-a-hole aren’t weird at all! Super delicious, maybe, but not weird. And it’s really easy…read more »
Eggs Florentine with Avocado
I woke up this morning with the worst craving for eggs. Probably because it’s the weekend, and I’ve got brunch on the brain. Alas, going out for brunch was out of the question — I just got back from a spring break cruise and can’t afford to be spending any more $$$. Fortunately, eggs and…read more »
Easy Veggie Pizza
Ah, Superbowl Sunday. A day of feasting on fat things — chips, dips, fried things, sweets, and every possible permutation of breaded chicken. Great for the taste buds, not so amazing for the waist line. Who was it that said “a moment on the lips, a lifetime on the hips”? So I decided to whip…read more »
