I’d like to pretend everything is back to peace, love, bunnies, hippies and unicorns over here in Clean Eats, Fast Feets Land (it’s quite the menagerie), but that’s simply not the case. I’ve got a new project at work right now, and it’s kicking my ass; not gently either. I’ve put in more hours than I’d care…
Lemon Blueberry Granola Recipe
I’ve been a non-deliberate tease. Of course, there’s such a thing. I’ve been tormenting you with my Lemon Blueberry Granola for months now. What can I say? Perfection takes work and time; sometimes an ungodly amount of time. I made this granola far too many different ways over the past several months, and at long last, I finally, finally, finally…
Thinking Out Loud: The How to Combat the Plague Edition
I think it’s safe to say I’ve got a pretty high opinion of myself. Enough to call myself #vanillagorilla, despite the fact I’m only 5’2. Enough to feel like I’m qualified to give out healing advice, despite my distinct lack of any medical degree. Sadly, a simple belief that you know it all, doesn’t actually qualify you to know…
WIAW: The Let’s Pretend Edition
I think we should play a game of Let’s Pretend today. For example, we can pretend I’m still working on my goal of writing a shorter post, which is exactly why this What I Ate Wednesday is bound to be another quick one (cough, cough). We could pretend I didn’t leave the writing of said post…
Week In Review: The Thankful Edition
I’m not one to sugar coat things. Well unless we’re talking about food, in which case an occasional sugar-coated donut or scone is right up my alley. I’m not going to lie. Last week was shitty; it was a rough one. There were too many hiccups at work, I was stressed out and frustrated. I only…
WIAW: My Creative Well Has Run Dry Edition
My creativity comes in bursts. Unfortunately, I think I overexerted myself with my frenzied recipe testing because now I’m spent. Yep, that’s right. I’ve got nada, nothing, zilch, zip, zero…. but wait, that’s not true. I’ve got pictures; pictures of my Saturday eats when I was all wild and saucy in the kitchen. Well without the sauce part seeing as how I didn’t make any. I…
Week In Review: The Recipe Testing Edition: Acorn Squash Strawberry Bread
So I wrote a list this weekend. Shocking, I know. It would be more disturbing if I went all weekend without putting pen to paper and crafting an itemized itinerary. Yeah, that would be totally awkward. The very idea is making me slightly queasy. I actually made a special list. A list outside of my usual and daily…
Currently: March 2014
I’ve decided its high time I jump on the Currently train. For those of you who have no idea what I’m talking about, which is likely the case more often than I’d care to admit, “Currently” posts are popular in the Healthy Living blogosphere. The idea is to answer the same questions every month about the current goings…
An Open Letter to Mother Nature
Dear Mother Nature, I implore you to come to your senses and realize this winter stuff is for the birds. Honestly, I’ve had enough. If you need me to come right out and say it, then fine, I’ll say it: You win. I concede. I’m waving my white flag or really my twelve winter hats,…
Week In Review: How To Prepare A Week’s Worth of Meals Edition
I feed the Hubby all week long, despite the fact he spends most days and nights living in a different state. I feed myself too and our three ornery felines, one of whom is more food obsessed than me. I’m pretty sure feeding all these mouths on a regular basis makes me Superwoman. Then again,…
