Truth: I sort of forgot I had this blog, until I got a message that someone had commented this week. Turns out, 8-10 of you visit this little project every day, which is WAY more than I deserve given it’s been about 18 months since last I posted. And I am not about to promise [...]

Whole Foods’ Answer to the Economic Downturn
Posted in Organic Food on May 11, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
I’ve been following Whole Foods on twitter (@wholefoods) and I was interested to see them link to their blog site last week on the topic of making budget friendly choices at their stores. The link was to a video they use to train store staff, and it was mostly one long ad for their house [...]
Buddha Dog, Toronto
Posted in Blogroll, Organic Food, Restaurant, Travel, Vegetarian on March 28, 2009 | 1 Comment »
We’re in Toronto this weekend and last night ventured down to Roncesvalles Ave (the Polish neighborhood – I felt so at home!). We ate at a little spot called Buddah Dog, where they specialize in hot dogs. Yes, you heard me. And these are not some sloppy dogs boiled in questionable water, oh no sir-ee. [...]
Whole Foods Answers the Call

In the universe’s usual way, my question of “what’s for dinner” got a boost from Whole Foods, via Twitter. I started on Twitter a few weeks ago (@jgswanson) and found Whole Foods (@wholefoods) and their blog, The Whole Story, has a feature called “Share your Best Meal of the Week.” Good inspiration there, y’all! (Though [...]
Looking for Inspiration

Maybe it’s the head cold, maybe it’s the sleep deprivation. Maybe it’s the fact that I feel stuck in the not-quite-winter-not-quite-spring season, but OY, I am in a rut with dinner. We still seem to run out of steam at the end of the day, and I hate giving up a minute of the play [...]
1,001 Things to do with a Roasted Chicken
Posted in Food and Entertaining, Main Dishes, Organic Food, Salad and Veggies on March 10, 2009 | 1 Comment »
I’ve been trying to think about which foodie joke to lead off with in this post, about the multitudes of things to do with a chicken. Our most basic of meats can, at times, feel like an old shoe – comfy, but hardly what you want to be wearing when you crave a more sophisticated [...]
Canning Demystified

My friend Jess came over today and taught me how to can tomatoes. So much fun! It was a pretty big mess and hot work (thank goodness for central air conditioning!) but so very satisfying. Brent and I have been enjoying the chorus of “pings” from the vacuum seals going off all afternoon. It was [...]
The Last Person to Discover Midtown Global Market
Posted in Food and Entertaining, Gluten Free, Main Dishes, Organic Food, Restaurant on January 6, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
Just a quick post to start getting back into blogging post-Christmas – Brent and I met friends at the Midtown Global Market on Friday night for dinner. I know I am the last foodie in Minneapolis to discover this place, but I was so impressed. I have no idea what took me so long to [...]
Add Dairy-Free to my list of High-Maintenance Needs
Posted in Gluten Free, Main Dishes, Organic Food, vegan, tagged cooking, dairy-free, food, Gluten Free on October 25, 2007 | 2 Comments »
I’ve continued to try to figure out why my body seems to reject everything I eat, and while I’m officially not dealing with Celiac (thank god), it may in fact be dairy that’s been the culprit all along. I am on day 2 of a total dairy-free diet (10 days), which it turns out is [...]
Cooking in Corfu

Preparing Kabobs Originally uploaded by brennifer We just got back from a fabulous trip to the Greek Island of Corfu – and aside from the wonderful, relaxing, exciting experiences of the vacation, we also ate some seriously good food. We found some authentic local tavernas, and tried just about everything we could between the 6 [...]
