Some stores don't have a Grocery section, but the ones that I've visited I've found International Orange Fanta, biscoff cookies, a HUGE jar of Garam Masala spice mix for $2!! Yes $2! There are also tons of no salt added, gluten free, organic and vegan packaged foods. Kashi is

In the interest of trying to save on money and calories. I've been trying to save making the green smoothie for days that I do strength training. But I still want to get the nutrients from the veggies, so I've been making kale juice instead. It has an orange juice base, lime juice, 4-5 chunks of frozen fruit and Kale. Its pretty tasty and I estimate its no more then 200 calories. I can have a

I've been making this pita pizza for a few years now. I love it for lunch and I've been making it about every day that I've been on break. Now, school is back in session and I'm not able to have it at lunchtime. Its great of you have access to a oven/ toaster oven.  Its very simple all you need is (authentic middle eastern) pita bread (or a flour tortilla), a whole tomato, shredded cheese,

This fall I started making green smoothies as a get out of the house quick, I have class from 8am to 12pm, breakfast. I was really surprised that I liked it, I just KNEW that I wouldn't.  I'm glad I tried it. It not too expensive to start. You really do not need those ridiculously expensive blenders, I bought my single serve blender from walmart it was between $9-$14. I don't

This is a post I started 4/2011. I can't believe I never finished it! Here ya go. I am so impatient when it comes to my cooking. I often make things that are browner then they are supposed to be because I like it dark (chocolate, food, my men! haha!) and slightly charred. The over browning often happens because I trying to cook my food faster then it wants to cook. I've recently been

I made these pancakes this morning for my little cousin. I've been wanting to use up this whole wheat pastry flour (WWPF) that has been unopened for a whole year. Initially I bought it because I watched Ellie Kreiger's Healthy Appetite on Food Network and for most of her baked goods she uses this flour. Well there have been no new episodes since March/April of 2009. I love pancakes with

This morning I ditched my usual breakfast fare of Kashi GoLean cereal (the non-crunch kind) and Greek Yogurt for a warm bowl of chicken soup from this batch I made last week.      This picture isn't too much to look at but I think it was one of my best batches of soup yet..I ended up using some baked chicken leftovers that I froze, the baked chicken was marinated in white

Welcome to my food blog! I hope to document and share recipes that I like, love and find across the internets. Recipes will mostly be on the healthier side of things and my (light) use of REAL butter for cooking plus a few indulging recipes such as birthday cake from scratch and my never-ending search for the perfect cake recipe even though I rarely bakes. I use real butter instead
