It has been almost two months since my last new post, and after several weeks of feeling guilt and pressure (self-imposed, of course), I finally let go and allowed myself to embrace the fact that, in my life, minimalism serves me best when it’s lived. Yes, I want to talk and blog and share about […]
Awareness
I have noticed that as I am making even the smallest of changes to my lifestyle or the way I eat, as I’m doing with my Simple Food project, I need to bring a lot of awareness to the process in order to make the changes successful and see the benefit of the change. Sometimes […]
Week 5: Recipes
I had several recipes this past week that ended up being successes, so here they are; I hope you enjoy them as much as we did! *** Roasted Vegetables over Buckwheat (Inspired by a recipe in the Great Vegetarian Cookbook) 1 acorn squash, peeled, seeded and cut into bit-sized pieces 1 lb small new potatoes, halved […]
Week 5: Welcome to February!
Week 5 has come and gone, so it’s time for a recap. I’m going to keep it short this week because it was a pretty uneventful week, and because I have some recipes that I really like from week 5 that I’m itching to write up and share in a separate post! Last week I […]
I’ll take those cookies gluten-free, please…
One of the things that I think most of us with celiac disease would really like to do at some point is modify our favorite recipe (recipes?) to make them gluten-free. Don’t get me wrong – there are a lot of great recipes out there that were designed from scratch to be gluten-free; one can […]
Simple Food: Week 4 and January Wrap-up
Week 4 of my Simple Food project has come to a close; I’m on to week 5 and the month of February! As I anticipated, it was a busy and somewhat stressful week; I managed to catch myself a nasty little cold as the week wrapped up, so I was particularly glad that I had […]
Simple Food: Week 3
I could not be more excited to talk about how things went during week 3 of my Simple Food project! This week was completely nuts for me. Not busy like the previous week was when I was running my oldest daughter to rehearsals every night and spending my weekend wrapping brownies and trying to schedule […]
Simple Food: Week 2 Recipes
As promised, I offer the recipes I have created for the two improvised meals during week 2 (Jan 10th-16th). Bear in mind that these were created playfully, so treat them more like a guideline than an actual recipe to be adhered to, and be sure to have a little fun making them yours! *** Eggplant […]
Simple Food: Week 2
I found some chai tea buried in the back of my tea cupboard (yes, I realize that may mean that it’s not the tastiest this point, but don’t worry; I doubled up on it), so I’ve decided that this is the perfect moment to sit down and account for week 2, lest you think that […]
Simple Food: Jan 1st – 8th
I’m well into my second full week of January, so it is definitely time to account for the first full week of my simple food project! I don’t have the menu plans for the first two days of January, but thanks to my Mindful Budgeting 2016 Planner, I do have all the financials. I will […]
