For a while there, my CSA was giving me nothing but lettuce and more lettuce. (Okay, and other things, but I really had lettuce coming out of my ears at one point. More than 40 cups’ worth.) I prepped all the lettuce in one day – wash, chop, dry, then store – to keep in the fridge so I could just pull it out and throw together a quick salad whenever I needed to eat. This made my life super easy – a few heatwaves, the lack of desire to eat, busy workdays, I just opened the fridge and [...]

Every Thursday (and sometimes other days as well, I admit), I park myself in front of the TV for a few hours. Dinner is a necessity, and I have these adorable trays… so I Reinvent the TV Dinner and make myself something yummy to eat in a tray that I can place on my lap (or on a pillow on my lap, because sometimes dinner is HOT). Here’s the latest in my Reinventing the TV Dinner series. This was way before final projects and finals (I’m pretty far behind in pictures), so I’m not entirely sure but I think this [...]

Another Thursday, another TV night and TV dinner for me! This time, I whipped up a few simple items and made them work together for a healthy meal! Since the last potluck, I’d been wanting to approximate TT’s quiche, and finally had the opportunity to do so. Top left is sour cream & guacamole, next to that is the winner of Prevention.com’s 2011 best packaged foods for chips: Laurel Hill Multigrain Chips (which were actually REALLY good), a yummy juicy orange my mom gave me, a quick salad and a thrown together quiche slice. The story of this salad? Well, [...]

I am constantly trying to expand my horizons. I used to not really like wine, but I’ve explored my way through to find some wine I really enjoy, and am still learning to appreciate the finer vintages. I really detest beer, but since hiring Beer Boor to write about beer for the Feisty Foodie, I’ve tried many more beers than I ever thought I’d try in my lifetime. I mean, with most things, I’ll keep re-trying just to see if I’ll suddenly develop an appreciation for it, but with beer, being that I tend to dislike the taste of the [...]

Thursday’s TV dinners have become a kind of tradition for me now, and when I’m unable to have one that week for whatever reason, I feel a bit… thrown. I miss it, I do, and I really hope you guys enjoy reading about these as much as I enjoy making and eating them! A recent spell of cold weather had me craving pasta, carbs, anything hearty that I could really sink my teeth into. However, I wanted to avoid anything too heavy in terms of sauce, because warm weather IS coming and I am trying my hardest at the gym [...]
