Lasagna

Possibly good with oregano and parsley added to the meat sauce and cheese layer. Still good without. Lasagna Original from Eat Clean Live Green: Ingredients no-bake lasagna noodles 1 pound ground beef (preferably organic…

My So Called Life

Pants Pants Pants

I had an interesting experience yesterday. A few months ago I grew out of my jeans. I could kind of still wear them but they were too small through the thighs. So I ordered two new pairs of jeans. The new jeans were the right size in the thigh but too big in the waist. Regardless, I needed jeans with…

AB Grilled Chicken

Not everyone has two and half hours available to prep/cook dinner. Seriously, if I followed Alton’s recipe verbatum I’d have to start at it LONG before I got home from work OR we’d be eating at 10pm. Neither of those are acceptable so I’m running through my short-cut options. Option 1 – Skip the brine. I hate to miss out…

Vegetables

Balsamic & Parmesan Roasted Cauliflower

Cauliflower isn’t exactly the most exciting vegetable. I mean it’s white.. and it tastes.. well kinda white and vegetable-y. I don’t mind cauliflower… but normally it’s a “have-to” as in “I have to eat my cauliflower”. I’ve never anticipated or craved cauliflower. This recipe might just change my mind. The sweet of the balsamic plays nicely with the salty of…

The quick downhill slide

Last night I had a headache. I’d had the headache for most of the day. I think it’s a combination of a side effect of the eyedrops my eye Doctor prescribed.. and a bit left over from getting carsick on the way into work. Anyway I had the headache for most of the day and just felt drained. When I…
