juice me, baby

On January 23, 2012 · 8 Comments · In food, mayalife

Okay, after watching Fat Sick and Nearly Dead, I’m thinking I need a juicer. Plus, we went to a big museum full of people and their kids oogling the dinosaur bones (we looooove the dinosaur bones) and I was struck in a painful, eye-popping way by the huge percentage of hugely overweight and sickly looking [...]

raw for dessert by jennifer cornbleet

You might recall that Sophie and I went batshit crazy over apple pie last fall.  We baked gobs of delicious apple pies, trying different recipes, attempting to make the perfect crust and consuming butter by the pound.  Literally.  A pound of butter per pie.  This, um, wasn’t so good for us.  I mean, our [...]

What we’re doing right now:

Here’s the recipe from Post Punk Kitchen, a site I ran across on google this morning while looking for gingerbread people options.  The cookies are coming out fabulously, nice and spicy with a chewy, crispy texture.  Yum, yum, nom, nom.  They’re vegan, too, bonus [...]

taste bud transmogrification

On December 6, 2011 · 2 Comments · In food

I ate macrobiotically (is that a word?) for a while in my twenties and I hated every minute of it.  I tried to like it.  I really did.  And there were a few nice meals in there, I’ll admit, in two years, there were a couple of times when it was okay.  [...]

raw chocolate bliss spread, made by a pair of crazy Willa Wonkas

On October 20, 2011 · 3 Comments · In food

Lest anyone think we are betraying our chocolatey roots for our new love, the Green Smoothie (dandelion greens with pears and frozen rasberries this morning, yum), let me tell you about how Sophie and I turned into mad choco-geniuses the other night.  Recipe will be included.

Backstory: years ago I had a jar of this [...]

farmer’s market bounty

On October 16, 2011 · 2 Comments · In food

Our conversion to greens-eating people continues….

So, Sophie and I went to the local farmer’s market Saturday morning.  It’s a totally different experience walking the booths when you actually eat vegetables, versus when all things green are foreign evils masquerading as food, eaten by spiral-eyed zombies—I mean, these people must be brainwashed because why else [...]

invasion of the green smoothies

On October 11, 2011 · 4 Comments · In food

I just ate a head of Romaine lettuce.  SHOCKER.  But hang on—yesterday I had a bunch of kale, and the day before, an entire bunch of CHARD.  Go ahead and fall over.  I’ll get the smelling salts.

Clearly I have turned to the dark side.

I have previously mentioned my Iron Man drink, and, well, [...]

thor eats honey o’s!

On September 19, 2011 · 3 Comments · In food, kiddo life, reviews

Being the Avengers fans that we are, of course we watched Thor when it hit DVD.  Well, I mean, when I noticed that it had hit DVD.  We loved it, of course, because why not?  It’s full of spectacle and fun and we simply Can. Not. Wait. for the Avengers movie next summer.

But you [...]

epic pie: our attempt at the world’s best apple pie EVER

On September 15, 2011 · 1 Comment · In food

Sophie received a visitation in the night from the pie fairy and was gifted with a dream of a gigantic apple pie.  What could we do after such a vision, but make said gigantic apple pie?  And seeing as how I had never made a pie crust by hand (not counting graham cracker crusts, which [...]

i can quit any time I want to — plus the recipe for Perfect Pinto Beans, my favorite meal of all time

On June 21, 2011 · 7 Comments · In food, mayalife

Hurm.  I seem to be going through a period of profound lack of ambition in all things.  Skipping yoga.  Wearing my pajamas until noon.  Reading trashy books.  Eating absurd amounts of corn chips.  Hating my current novel with a wimpy tongue-stuck-out-Nnnnnn! but refusing to do anything about it.  Floating on the pond until I prune [...]
