What I Love vs. What I Eat, vol. 6.1: MOAR BISCUITS

Posted on September 8, 2011 by Andrea

Wheeee! I made more biscuits! And I totally confirmed my suspicion that the coconut flour (and prevalent coconut flavor) can be pushed in one direction (sweet and delicious!) or another (coconut, what?!) depending on the additional ingredient combinations. Here’s your starting point. For savory biscuits, I swapped out the coconut oil for unsalted butter, removed [...]

But we were on a break!

Posted on August 29, 2011 by Andrea

Dammit, August. I was trying to simplify. Relax. Enjoy the moment. Stop recording life and try living it. But then you had to go and be awesome, and I have no record of it for The Posterity. There was great cooking (despite the so-called x diet), family vacations, beautiful beer money (what?!) and of course, [...]

What I Love vs. What I Eat, Vol. 5: “Toastless” French Toast

Posted on July 22, 2011 by Andrea

(For more on this once-and-future series, see this post. Or find all the harebrained episodes via tag in the sidebar.) It’s a new dawn of eating and food preparation in our household. Cynically I call it the x diet, where x is anything I want but can’t have. Dairy free, gluten free, sugar free. There [...]

What I Love vs. What I Eat, Vol. 4: Fish Tacos & Tomatilla Salsa

Posted on June 28, 2011 by Andrea

(For more on this once-and-future series, see this post. Or find all the harebrained episodes via tag in the sidebar.) I love fish tacos. My friends love fish tacos. My friends still eat fish tacos (or any tacos, actually), but alas, I do not. Too many empty calories in the common taco delivery system, be [...]

What I Love vs. What I Eat, vol. 3: Banana & Coconut

Posted on May 31, 2011 by Andrea

(For more on this once-and-future series, see this post.) You’ve been to Nicky’s, right? You’ve tasted the absolute best tom kha soup in the city, of course. Oh, good. We can still be friends. My always-meal at Nicky’s starts out with That Soup, followed by the grilled beef mint salad and accompanied by a pot [...]

Baked Eggs and Happy Birthdays

Posted on May 20, 2011 by Andrea

My dad’s birthday was Saturday. A big birthday. We had a steak and eggs brunch to celebrate, and I offered to make the eggs. (My dad, of course, made the steaks.) All week I thought about what kind of eggs to make, and all week i came to the same conclusion: steak+egg casserole=too much food. [...]

Things I’ve missed

Posted on April 21, 2011 by Andrea

An incomplete list of the things I’ve missed these past six weeks of #cmucarnival domination. 1. Cooking. I can’t actually remember the last time I cooked a complete meal from scratch. Bummer. But since our CSA started last week, I have fewer excuses preventing me from picking up this old habit. 2. Grocery shopping. I [...]

What I Love vs. What I Eat, vol. 2: Kale Chips

Posted on March 29, 2011 by Andrea

(For more on this once-and-future series, see this post.) I enjoy snacking. Usually lightly salty, though I’m picky in this like all else. One of my favorite things in the world is a really really good, fresh salsa (preferably homemade) with tortilla chips (preferably homemade). I can eat buckets of salsa, which is not actually [...]

What I Love vs. What I Eat, vol. 1: Buffalo Blue Cheese

Posted on February 19, 2011 by Andrea

I love food. Duh. And food loves me. Duh. (Especially my hips, thighs and tummy.) So as I re-evaluate, re-establish and re-structure my eating habits, I’m finding ways to enjoy some of what I love without completely going off the deep end. I cook with fresh, whole ingredients so I certainly don’t  like the idea [...]

Chicken Soup for the Sick

Posted on January 18, 2011 by Andrea

Everyone is sick, myself included. And so, inspired partly by my friends Abby (who bravely roasted a chicken for the first time) and Jacob (who gifted me two quarts of delicious homemade chicken stock) I decided to make homemade hearty chicken matzoh ball soup from scratch. (This would be particularly useful if I was sick-of-the-nose-persuasion, [...]
