One of the things I made sure to do while visiting my parents in Switzerland was to discuss risotto with my mom. As far back as I can remember, she has made perfect and seemingly effortless risotto.  There is no endless stirring, no anxious monitoring, and every time herrisotto turns out exactly right. She does […]

Happy Friday! I do not know about you all, but Fridays and Saturdays tend to be days where we are almost completely out of vegetables and my lunchboxes tend to get a little more bare.  This lunchbox is from last Saturday, when I had to go to work and needed an unanticipated lunchbox. We went […]

Happy Wednesday! I just got back from yoga – morning yoga still seems to make me more sore than evening yoga, but I am getting a real sense of accomplishment from the fact I made it.  As I blogged here, morning exercise does not come easily to me.  Today’s lunch and two snacks: Leftover Time-Crunch […]

Sometimes I wonder if my lunches are boring.  I did not use to feel that way, but then 6+ months of posting lunchboxes has been thinking about this more often.  At this point you all know my quirks – I like spinach smoothies rather than spinach salads when packing to-go, tofu is a favorite lunchtime […]

Sunrise Time
