Hello folks! It’s been awhile since I’ve given you a run-down of my daily eats. I’m still eating a LOT…gotta build some more muscle.. and finding fun ways to fit all those calories in without overloading my stomach. Breakfast stays pretty tried and true… today I had my usual green smoothie made with frozen pineapple, …
This hearty parmesan eggplant bake is quick enough for a weeknight supper, oozing enough with cheese for the kids to accept the eggplant underneath… and delicious enough to be at extreme risk of being eaten before the photo shoot is done… gulp! Did you ever notice I don’t post too many main dish recipes? Yeah, …
Watch it wiggle… see it jiggle… It’s full-on summertime here in Philippines, and any kind of dessert we can make without turning on the oven is likely to be a BIG WINNER. Sara went to a birthday party the other day and came home asking if we could make Jello sometime, because they’d had it …
Howdy, friends! Hopefully you are a big fan of the concept “better late than never”… because this post was meant to go out last Friday… Good Friday… the day you’re actually supposed to make Hot Cross Buns. But stuff happens. Like you take your daughters out for a day of girlie shopping and giggling… or you …
Hello, friends! I’ve been out of pocket lately… in Jakarta, to be exact! Sara and I spent 5 days there last week for her Honors Choir Festival with the Association for Music in International Schools (AMIS). It was a glorious festival of singing, with 172 kids qualifiying from 14 schools throughout Asia. I have to …
This beetroot hummus proves you can train for a bikini fitness competition without following the “standard” diet. Before I committed to doing a bodybuilding competition, I really did my research. As in, I wanted to make sure I could eat something besides oatmeal, egg whites, chicken breast, and broccoli! Haha. Because all over the internet …
These no-bake sweet potato brownies have been my best sweet potato discovery since around Thanksgiving 2004… when I discovered (a bit too late for that meal!) that there actually are really great taters here in Philippines! We had lived here for less than 6 months, and I was newly pregnant with Sara, when we thought it would …
This blueberry protein smoothie bowl has had to wait 5 days and as many writing attempts before finally coming to you… but life is sometimes messy like that… very much like this smoothie bowl! But that doesn’t mean it isn’t still good… the smoothie bowl, I mean… and life too! These past 2 weeks have …
Hello friends! The week that started slowly in bed with a cough & cold is ramping up and racing to the finish line with hosting 3 middle school kids from abroad for a band festival this weekend. And more kids= more food, am I right?? I’ll have 6 kids in my house for 5 days… and …
These spicy tofu wraps with citrus tahini dressing just might be the solution to all your lunchtime woes… Lunch is sometimes a problem, do you get me? Like, breakfast is a no-brainer (good thing at 5:45am!) and dinner… well, I usually have some idea of what I’m going to cook. But lunch… it’s usually the …
