I know that technically it’s autumn.. but unfortunately the Bay Area hasn’t gotten the message. 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…

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…
Yes, but is it Clean?
Last night I made Fettuccini Alfredo for dinner. I was craving it and I decided to give in to that craving. After I served it up “The Man” looked at his plate.. and then looked at me and said “This doesn’t seem particularly clean to me”. I replied that -technically- it was clean. But it got me to thinking. Fettucini…

Flirting with Twoterville
At this point I’m flirting with Twoterville. Friday I’m firmly in Twoterville.. then Saturday/Sunday push me above so that by weigh in day (Tuesday) I’m a smidge (2-3 lbs) above. Luckily week-by-week that smidge is getting smaller. It’s my own fault and I recognize that. I need to show more restraint when it comes to brownies and bread. Speaking of…
