December 20, 2009 Snow in Dupont Circle

Happy Monday! I am so looking forward to this week being a short week.  And I am glad that the snow from a year ago exactly today is not here. I much prefer snow when I can stay home inside with some yummy hot chocolate.  I am submitting this photo to No Croutons Required‘s December […]

December 17, 2010
GVA to IAD

Before I get into how much I heart the rice cooker, the sequel, a little update.  The Today’s Lunchbox series is going back on hiatus until January 3.  Just a lunchbox series hiatus, not a blog hiatus.  My schedule the next couple of weeks is going to involve fewer lunchboxes than usual (seeing as I […]

December 16, 2010
jars 003

I was tempted to repack the celery in a jar just for the picture.  It has been freezing here in Washington and while I don’t like to bring soup to work (spillage central), I decided it was time for soup.  So here is lunch and two snacks (more like 1.5 snacks): Soups made of blended […]

{Today’s Lunchbox} Forgot the Sauce

December 15, 2010
Tuesday lunchbox 003

This was not a case of having made sauce and just forgotten. This was a case of rushing and not thinking that plain steamed and roasted vegetables might need a little more kick.  It happens. It was still a good lunch, but next time I would include a sauce of 2 tablespoons tahini, 1 tablespoon […]

Today was a Monday of running around between several appointments in the morning before going to work, so I wanted lunch to be spill-proof and lighter in terms of containers and parts.  So no green smoothies today, but lots of color nevertheless: Grain-free sushi rolls based on this recipe for pumpkin seed pate nori cigars […]

{Today’s Lunchbox} Winter Light

December 10, 2010
A mix

The lunchbox series held so much promise in terms of morning light, since I usually photograph my lunchboxes then – but today’s lunchbox is such a reminder of winter light being just, so, well gray. Today’s lunch and two snacks are definitely experimental: A mix of black beans, salsa, squash and quinoa, topped with pumpkin […]

scramble and mousse 004

Today’s lunchbox is all about comfort food for me:  Tofu scramble, based on Gena’s recipe – I like her recipe as it is very comforting and flavorful. Salt and vinegar kale chips (dehydrated instead of roasted, but otherwise the exact recipe) – I used Tuscan kale this time, which is why the shape looks so […]
