February 16, 2012

Healthy eating does not mean a lot of extra time in the kitchen. In fact, this healthy lunch (lunch!) only took about 20 minutes. The halibut steaks and kale came from Trader Joe’s, and the carrots came from Whole Foods (though I could’ve one-stop-shopped those at TJ’s if I’d wanted to). You don’t need anything [...]

I eat kale all the time. My favorite way to eat kale is to sauté it, but I’ll eat it in a salad, with baked eggs, in soup, and will even drink it in Green Monster-style smoothie-form. Kale is a staple in this house, a regular grocery store item. I spent the last two weeks [...]

The winter farmers’ market here in Portland is in full swing, and I found a couple of new veggies and some old favorites on the day that it opened. Kale Kale is my favorite vegetable. Maybe just for right now, maybe for all time, I’m not sure. But it’s so good, and so easy. I’m [...]

Green and Purple Monsters

August 4, 2011

I’ve been reading a lot of “healthy living” blogs lately, trying to find some new inspiration in recipes, watching these amazingly dedicated runners and triathletes set up training plans and run a whole bunch of races (since I’m training for my first 5k!). It’s been inspiring to not only get some new recipe ideas, but [...]

A Midsummer Farmers’ Market Bounty

July 19, 2011

I just couldn’t help myself this weekend. I went to three farmers’ markets in three days. First, the PSU Portland Farmers’ Market. It’s the biggest, right by my place, and is becoming just part of our weekend routine to grab Saturday morning coffee and breakfast there. On Sunday, I made my way to the Hillsdale [...]

I remember the first time I had a raw fruit/veggie juice. It was at the Whole Foods in Boulder (before it closed down), and my friend Monica had just been CRAVING this particular juice from the juice bar that had a name like “Juice Goddess,” or “Veggie Diva,” or something like that. I watched as [...]

Baked Eggs with Parmesan Kale and Cream

July 7, 2011

While I know the Internet is a wonderful and vast land of recipes and photos galore… I’m still a sucker for a good actual cookbook. Paper pages. Hard cover. Glossy photos. I could spend days in just the cookbook section of any bookstore or library. When I was last in Minnesota, Miranda (my sister) and [...]

Green Living : Replace Packaged Foods with Real Foods

April 22, 2011

I think that how we cook and consider food is an important component of green apartment living. On paper, we’re doing it right: I live in a LEED-certified building. We recycle, and use the recycling containers that our building provides on our floors. Being LEED-certified means our apartment is so efficient that we haven’t once [...]
