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 […]
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 […]
Simple Food: Getting Started
I found the above quote last night and immediately knew that it was the perfect lead-in for this first honest-to-goodness we’re-really-starting-the-process post for my simple food project. It embodies my biggest shopping issue perfectly! I’ve been considering just how much to actually share publicly, and I’ve decided that sharing as much as possible is […]
Benefits of Simple Food
I’m quite excited to jump into the nitty-gritty of what I’m doing to simplify how I deal with food in my life, but I want to be sure to begin this process by defining what I’m thinking of when I talk about simple food. For me, simple food is created from whole, unprocessed or minimally […]
2016: The Year of Simple Food
When I was first diagnosed with Celiac disease, my aunt bought me a really fantastic book called “Gluten-Free Girl”, written by Shauna James Ahern back in 2007, the year I was diagnosed. I am incredibly grateful that this was the first book about celiac disease that I read, because it cast this huge diagnosis in […]
