Chicken N Dumplings

It’s the day before payday.. and all we have in the house is hamburger (which we had yesterday), fish (which is destined for dinner on Thursday) and pre-cooked AB chicken breasts that are a wee bit dry (I think I over-grilled them). So I grepped the Internet looking for ideas. Initially I wanted to use the chicken in a Chicken…

Ones

Yesterday I forgot to pack an afternoon snack. Frankly I’ve had such a bad habit of packing the snack and then not eating it that it just slipped my mind in the morning. Of course that totally meant that at 3 o’clock I was starving for an afternoon snack. Now in the bad-old-days this would have meant a trip to…

Green Salad with citrus vinaigrette

When I called “the man” to let him know I was heading home from the office he suggested that maybe I should stay at the office.. and sleep on my office couch.. since it was air conditioned. The last gasp of summer is frying my…

Naturally grown food is a luxury

This morning I read the following: “Cheap food – once again – has turned properly made food into a luxury… to the point where people don’t even want to address issues of quality.” – A black girl’s guide to weight loss This struck a chord with me and put a finger directly on the thing which has been bugging me…

Flaxseed, Bee Pollen and Fairy Dust

I hereby reserve the right to change my mind at any point whether that’s in the next 10 minutes or the next 10 years. That said.. the suggestion that I should sprinkle my morning oatmeal (which I don’t eat) with flaxseed and bee pollen was initially greeted with a “Yeah, right. F’king hippies”. Upon further reflection and reading I’ve changed…

Stuffed Peppers

Costco sells a bag of 2 red/2 yellow/2 orange bell peppers for $7. To me that’s a total steal. I snapped up a few bags and have been adding colored peppers to everything. Last night I did stuffed peppers. SO . GOOD!! Frankly also so easy. Stuffed Red Peppers 6 bell peppers (I prefer red) 1/2 lb italian sausage or…
