Last Sunday, I hosted a small dinner party for some local D.C. bloggers at my house. Ericka coordinated the event and Sarah was our chef for the evening. Sarah is a Registered Dietician that recently started a small business called Why Food Works where she comes to your home for the evening to cook a […]
Well, helloooooo! You thought I forgot about ya, huh? WRONG! Gah, last week was sooooo busy with not only work, but I pretty much booked every single night with either CrossFit or something with my friends. Oh, and my weekend was just as packed. When I wasn’t at my friend Ericka’s amazing tropical themed bridal […]
I was by no means a serial dater growing up, but when the rare occasion would arise when someone asked me out to dinner, my mom was always right there to chime in and let them know that I was not a cheap date. I always have and more than likely always will love seafood, particularly shellfish (ie crab, […]
Over the last couple years, my meal planning has continued to evolve as I continue to learn more not only about my personal nutritional needs, but also more about what foods will benefit my goals best. Last weekend was the first time I actually planned out every single meal for the week, made a menu, […]
I can’t tell you how happy I am that I am almost done eating this God forsaken chicken. Don’t get me wrong, it was absolutely delicious, but how much chicken can one person eat?! I can only imagine how crazy I’d be right now if I had made a turkey… Despite the fact that I […]
Oh, Chipotle. How I love your tasty, cilantro rice mixed with corn and black beans and the like. However, I don’t like that you use white rice, I don’t like your chicken or beef, and I just don’t like spending $10 for a freaking burrito bowl that I could easily make 5 of for the […]
I know I’ve said it at least 1,596 times, but I seriously hate trying to figure out what I want to eat in the midst of a hunger attack. I want something I know is there and ready to go so that I can grab it and chow down immediately. If I have nothing available, […]
Hurricane Sandy When I moved to Washington, D.C. almost 4 years ago, I never would have thought that I would experience a snowpocalypse, an earthquake, and now my second hurricane. I may have chosen the wrong coast to move to… Source When I first learned of Hurricane Sandy on Friday, I immediately went out after […]
Oh, shrimp. I have missed you so much. Thank you for coming back into my diet. It’s obviously been a while since the last time I cooked any kind of shellfish, let alone shrimp. You would think I would go with my favorite shrimp dish (I’ll share that another time), but I decided to do […]
You may be wondering “why in the heck is she cooking fish?! Isn’t she vegetarian?” Well, I will explain that… after the recipe. I have actually never cooked tilapia before in my life and didn’t realize how easy it would be! 5 minutes under the broiler… that’s it! Not to mention, it has a very […]
