I have not bought ice cream since November 2011. True statement. I got an ice cream maker and have not looked back. As if by magic, when I got my ice cream maker blogger Kavey started her “Bloggers Scream for Ice Cream” challenge series. I have participated on most months, not always getting my posts […]
Another Friday Food post, in keeping with my “who says cooking is hard” theme. This week it is “one pot chicken”. This is super easy to make, done first on the stove and then into the oven to bake. I served ours with asparagus and rice. Super easy. Super yummy. Initially I thought about doing […]
I have a confession to make – I am #fatfluential. Train hard, eat lots. That’s me. For me, food is enjoyable and I don’t restrict myself. I don’t avoid certain foods. I eat, and I enjoy. Yes, I know. Not everyone *can* eat like this, and not everyone *chooses* to eat like this. But for […]
On Wednesday evening we got home from the gym and as an unexpected treat, DH took over in the kitchen. I know I am lucky in that my husband cooks – and cooks really really good food. He has been more adventurous recently – including a recent Friday evening meal that has become a new […]
On Wednesday evening I went to the gym after work, and then headed home to make dinner. We tend to eat on the late side of things, usually aiming to sit down at about 8pm. Seeing as I had gone to the gym first, I knew whatever we would cook would need to be quick […]
It’s autumn, and apple season. It is a time for the smells of cinnamon to waft through the house. To go to apple orchards, to have apples in the weekly vegetable box delivery, and to look for ways to cook with apples. I think this is my first ever Sunday blog post. I love Sundays […]
Last year I purchased a Vitamix – one of the few kitchen toys on my wish list – and since then I have religiously made morning juice cocktails. I have done green smoothies, berry smoothies, carrot and coconut water drinks – you name it. But a few months ago I hit on the “macadamia nut […]
There is something about summer – the weather warms up and the warmer evenings bring with them any excuse for a BBQ. We finished works on our house in late 2011 – which included a new outdoor bar-be-cue space. By April we made sure that things out back were tidied up, all the remaining building […]
If you follow me on Twitter, you’d be forgiven if you think that I eat only junk food. I mean, just last week I posted this photo. Yep. Homemade chips aka the best French Fries ever. Also the first ever time I have made these at home! In keeping with the “bad food” theme, I […]
On Sunday DH and I celebrated our 12th wedding anniversary. Couples who train together stay happy together – us, last year in front of Mother’s Beach in Maine. I woke up early on Sunday (before DH who was out like a light) and had time to think about what was in the fridge and what […]
