I got this recipe for Grilled Chicken with Kung Pao Sauce from the January issue of Shape magazine. I of course changed it a little bit, and I think it came out all right. It serves six, I made it with peas and brown rice. I'm not totally sure I dig it, but I never had Chicken … Continue reading Chicken Kung Pao

Apple Cinnamon Oatmeal
An oatmeal inspired by French Women Don't Get Fat by Mireille Guiliano. This book does have a peanut butter-banana oatmeal, but I go this idea when the idea of grated apple got into my head. Grated apple, with the peel and everything, no sugar necessary. Perfecto! Plus a bunch of cinnamon = love! Ingredients: Oatmeal, 1/2 cup … Continue reading Apple Cinnamon Oatmeal

I have enjoyed it from time to time. And I really do enjoy a good steak, but I know that it's not … Continue reading Almond Butter, Blueberry Oatmeal
Macaroni & Cheese
It is a snow day, which is wonderful, because it gives me four more days to study for my pre-calculus test. Wonderful! Hmm... perfect snow day involves be shut indoors with lots of movies, which makes me so happy that my Netflix came yesterday. And the other wonderful thing, we had all the ingredients to … Continue reading Macaroni & Cheese
Fiesta Eggs
I love an excuse to call something "fiesta." It sounds spicy and delicious, which, these eggs were. Well, they weren't spicy, but the were balanced: the onion-cheddar was a subtle undertone to the cilantro. The cilantro was evened out by the tomato-lime addition. I like lime juice and cilantro together so much! Ingredients (serves two): … Continue reading Fiesta Eggs

My mom made this sandwich up in the early 90s, back when I was a wee tot. She doesn't make it that much, but it is one of the tastiest sandwiches of all time! It is melty and meaty and well balanced by spinach and garlic, the best two foods I know. Mom had no … Continue reading Unnamed Sandwich
