Fresh Fig Pockets

July 17, 2009

tascabile/pocket size What began as a fleeting thought that my participation in the community garage sale would be small has turned into a half of a garage full of stuff. I have been trying to figure out how to “display” because of my lack of tables/surfaces. I am sorting through things and organizing, but the […]

Tempeh Tostada Salad with Tomatillo Salsa

July 16, 2009

vegetariano integrale/vegan How happy was I when I saw the sign at my subdivision entrance announcing a Community Garage Sale? Completely stoked (okay…that was an 80’s word…)! The sale falls in line with everything else. So, I have been buzzing around trying to gather stuff I want to purge. Wow, I have a lot of […]

Baked Eggplant Gratin with Ricotta Soufflé

July 15, 2009

ipocalorico/low calorie Admittedly, I did not get a ton done today. My body clock is all off, but that’s not a good excuse. I was able to get to the YMCA to join the the next month so I can continue to swim, since my knees are still not where they need to be. And, […]

Hearty Pancakes for a Healthy New Life

July 14, 2009

cambiamento tranquillo/peaceful change Well, it is official. I am back in Atlanta after four fabulous weeks in Utah. I ended my trip with a morning hike up to the Timpanogos Caves, and a delicious Friday night dinner on Kalyn’s new side deck with Kalyn, Maria, and beautiful weather.

Summer Avocado Chicken Salad

July 9, 2009

insalata di pollo/chicken salad It was yet another beautiful day in Utah today. Windy…but beautiful. Because I can’t go to boot camp anymore, for the time being, I decided to go to the pool before the swim team had their practice at 6:30. Happily, I was able to fit in ten 100 meter freestyles. Then, […]

July 7, 2009

mozzafiato/breathtaking It has been a while, I know! But, great things have been happening and lots of changes are in store for this girl. I am so excited for things to come and am really positive about what’s next for me. But, as I iron out details, I am keeping everything close to my belt. […]

Peanut Butter No-Bake Cookies

June 30, 2009

gnam gnam/yum yum Utah has been a wonderful experience for me. It has been just what I needed. And, if I can swing it, I would like to move out here. But, that’s stuff to think through later as I begin negotiations. 🙂 In the meantime, those of us in the house here are on […]

Bakewell Tart…er…pudding

June 27, 2009

sensazionale/sensational It’s Daring Baker Challenge time again! I actually baked this at the beginning of the month because I knew I was going to be in Utah. The timing worked out because I was able to bring the tarts to a BBQ. I was thrilled when one of the girls I work with stopped and […]

Quinoa Cakes with Eggplant-Tomato Ragù and Hiking at Donut Falls

June 24, 2009

rilassante/relaxing My stay in Utah has been one of self-reflection and an opportunity to prioritize life, yada..yada…yada. With my quest to return to “inner-simplicity”, I have also made a conscious effort to know each and every item I am consuming. Or, not consuming. Among some of the yums I have avoided include candy (and I […]
