Hi everyone! Hope you are having a fun summer and enjoying the 4th of July weekend! We’ll be grilling up a couple of bison burgers and making homemade fries! So yum! And of course it is time for the weekly menu again. This week I’m going to add another layer of restrictions to our diet because I’m having a lot of digestive issues lately. Last...
Homemade Cilantro Jalapeño Hummus I love me some hummus! And I really like it flavorful and spicy. We’ve been buying a new flavor from the store – Cilantro Jalapeño Hummus – and because I usually devour it in two days it was starting to get a little expensive. So it was time to try to make it at home. I like to add white...
Hi everyone! It’s time for the weekly menu May 16! Hope you had a great week. Last week was super positive for me having earned an ‘A’ in both my Intro to Bioinformatics & Coding classes at JHU. Yay! Part of the challenge has been eating really clean to keep my gut bacteria as happy as possible, exercising to keep stress down, and surrounding myself...
Hi friends! So this is always my favorite time of the year! I love April and spring and it’s my birthday month, but most of all I love the Austin Food and Wine Festival. We’ve been going to this event before it became “this event” (it used to be local before C3 took it to the next level) and way before I ever knew anything...
It’s time for the weekly menu plan April 11 edition! And we will get to that as always. But you might be wondering why I’ve been talking about the microbiome so much lately and trying to eat mindfully to encourage the growth of good bacteria in the gut. So what is the microbiome? This is a pretty new field of research and it is exciting...
Hello friends! It’s that time again – coming up with a game plan for the week to get us through this diet restricted life in the easiest way possible. So it’s time for the weekly menu March 28! Because my body is super sensitive, I have to eat and live in a way that reduces chemical exposures that stress out my immune system. As well...
Hello friends, it’s time to plan out the weekly menu for March 21. How was your week? Were you on Spring Break, too? Do anything exciting? SXSW? We had a nice relaxing week enjoying our amazing dinner at Counter 3.Five.VII – it was so fancy. We tried the five course menu and they adjusted some of the dishes to be gluten and dairy free for...
Hello Meatless Monday! So Asian Fried Rice? It’s been done before. Why blog it again? I’m sharing this recipe because Asian fried rice recipes have been a challenge for me. And trust me that I’ve tried to make ‘Chinese Fried Rice’ with old cooked rice and cold rice – all the ways they’ve said to make fried rice – but it just never works for...
Hi everyone! Hope you had a great week. Time for the weekly menu Feb 29, 2016. So if you are wondering what I’m doing besides blogging about food, taking pictures of food and tweeting about health, food safety, food choices, nutrition, science… Genomics and Bioinformatics Program I’m now working on a certificate in bioinformatics, which is a field that uses computer science techniques to analyze and...
The weekly menu Feb 15 is ready! So I’ve finished up my third week back at school online at Johns Hopkins University. And it has been a little overwhelming at times getting my bearings but also wonderful. Really wonderful. Because I like to learn and it’s all about learning something new – especially now since my brain is truly working again and the fog has...
This blog is about cooking real food from unprocessed ingredients to make simple and naturally gluten-free meals and mostly casein-free/dairy-free (except for a little aged Parmesan and goat milk). We try to "healthify” and clean up our favorite comfort foods using organic fresh veggies, lean proteins, healthy grains and lots of spice!
