Smoothies & Hummus–Adopting Heather of Gluten-Free Cat

July 6, 2011
misc 014

I think we have all established that some of my favorite food groups are hummus and bean dips of all kinds (but really, hummus above all) and smoothies.  Therefore, you will be hardly surprised by which recipes I picked out to try from the wonderful archives of recipes Heather has cooked up at the Gluten-Free […]

{Today’s Lunchbox} Sandwich Time

July 5, 2011
lunchboxes 017

Something about summer often makes me crave sandwiches and wraps – sure, I could make collard wraps, but after all the feckless tortillas talk on the mini road trip to Great Sage with Katie and Gena, I had to break one out. This lunchbox is actually from last week, incidentally, so this was fresh after […]

July 4 weekend 082

I hope all my U.S. friends had a lovely July 4.  We got home from seeing the fireworks a little while ago – somehow the long weekend got away from  though getting epically glutened mid-way through did not help – ah Firefly, you used to be such a great go-to place for me, but after […]

July 2, 2011
Self-care retreat badge

Welcome to the first installment of the virtual self-care retreat that Cheryl of Gluten-Free Goodness and I are hosting this month: Movement.  Uncharacteristically for me, I actually wanted to write on movement for this retreat – I say uncharacteristically, because I used to be far from naturally inclined to move, much less exercise.  This was […]

July 2011: Self Care Retreat

July 2, 2011
Self-care retreat badge

Happy July!  I know for many the beginning of summer is Memorial Day or the Summer Solstice, but for me, I always think of July as truly summer and a time for restoration – maybe it is the memories of childhood summers where I read book after book while sitting in the shade.  I am […]

lunchboxes 021

When I was under the weather a couple of weeks ago, I made Cheryl’s sniffle stew, which I have since made two more times – the last time, I substituted black eyed peas for the chickpeas, and it was just as delicious.  I am convinced it contributed to my feeling better – it is soothing […]

One of my very favorite flavor profiles is raspberry and chocolate.  This goes back as far as I can remember, when I was 4 or 5 and savoring chocolates in the shape of a mouse stuffed with a Cadbury crème egg like filling, only flavored with raspberry.  Incidentally, there were other mice chocolates with other […]

{Today’s Lunchbox} Bringing Whole Foods Salad Bar To the Lunchbox

June 28, 2011
Monday lunch 005

Happy Monday! Yesterday I had the worst craving for a big salad from Whole Foods (and yes, I know there is always potential for gluten cross-contamination, which is why I do not make a habit out of it, and scrutinize the offerings very closely) but we had a ton of food at home seeing as […]

Thank you for all the comments and tweets about my 360 Degree Tour of the Kitchen where the lunchbox series originates from.  I do agree it is small, but having that expanse of counter space is pretty key for me – and while that is hardly enormous, it is large enough that my husband and […]
