This was a delicious dish that I was able to create in no time. I worked all day seeing clients back to back, then got off and attended my bike meeting for BreakawayRVA, and then joined in at a networking event until 9:00pm. Yes, I was tired. I was drained, but my family still needed…
Pasta con le Sarde
Also know as, “Pasta with Sardines.” This meal originates from Sicily. My Italian roots shine through on this one. This is a national dish of Sicily. It’s either pasta with italian sauce only, pasta with italian sauce loaded with vegetables, or pasta with italian sauce, veggies, and sardines! At one point I would add boca crumbles…
Pep it up!
Pep it up by adding Bell peppers, also known as sweet peppers, to your daily dishes. You probably have noticed by now that staple ingredients to most of my meals include peppers. If your thinking its for spice or heat, your wrong. Bell Peppers are not only good, but they are good for you. Peppers have way…
Simple Sweet & Sour Tofu
As a working mother, I love simple and easy meals. I actually have a copy of a cookbook titled, A Man, A Can, A Plan, that was created for men with recipes that do not require tons of ingredients. The recipes within this book are quick, tasty, healthful meals based on canned and other convenience foods. When making…
Szechuan Salmon with Pepper Salsa
Tonight’s dinner was fish focused. Primarily we eat vegetarian dishes, but we still love our seafood. Pescatarianism is what we practice majority of the time. This is a diet that includes fish or other seafood, but not the flesh of other animals. Most pescatarians maintain a lacto-ovo vegetarian diet. This would include us as well….
Crispy Kale Chips
Potato Chips vs Kale Chips. Kale Chips wins. Most commercial chips, and this includes corn chips, potato chips, tortilla chips, you name it, are high in trans fat. Many also contain genetically engineered ingredients. I have heard people mention “kale chips” and decided to see what all the talk was about. I now see why….
Virginia Safari Park
Lets talk family fun. I am consistently researching and discoverying places to go, people to see, and new things to eat. My hubby and children are ofcourse my main reason. I try to ensure that we are not just sitting in the house and instead that we are actually living, exploring, experiencing, etc. Since I am…
Asian Inspired Ladies Night
When my friends and I get together its typically a night filled with chitter chatter, giggles, wine, and food! Instead of going out to restaurants we enjoy creating more of a “themed night” in which we decide what are the foodies of choice and what it might be inspired by. This particular night we decided…
Benefits of Bicycling
For the past month, I have been up by 5:00 or 5:30 in the morning road cycling before starting my day. In my other post Being Blown By the Wind, Mall Walkers & Bikers: Easy Does it, and Breakaway RVA: A Uniquely Richmond Experience, I share about my startum to cycling, the bike group I help found, and…
Richmond Mural Project: Mural Mapping 1
I love art! I am so intrigued by public art in public places. We are all used to art galleries, exhibits, and showings but to pass by everyday in your car or walk by on your daily stroll is really cool. Not graffiti, but real art. I am not from RVA, but I have lived here long enough…
Baked Egg & Plantain Frittata
This morning I was at a stuck point on what to cook for breakfast. I had just came in from doing a 10 mile bike ride, took a shower, helped my kids brush their teeth, and at that point I was just ready to eat. We do not usually have meat on the menu so…
West African Peanut Soup with Cod Fish
For starters, this was sooo good. My hubby made it a long time ago and in trying to decide what to eat for dinner on this night I recalled this dish and went for it. This was my first time making this. My hubby nor myself is West African, however he is Haitian and we…
