Time for the second installment of Sandwich Week! Tonight’s selection was Roasted Turkey with Avocado, Bacon, Balsamic Onion Marmalade and Mayonnaise. This pick was Brent’s, and definitely proved that Colicchio does not take sandwich-making lightly. Though not one of the more super complicated recipes in the book, this one still required multiple time-consuming steps. We [...]

Sandwich Week
Last week while we were at the library, Brent picked up ‘Wichcraft by Tom Colicchio. I’m in love with this book. Tom must have gotten a huge budget for publishing his book because every recipe has an accompanying full color drool-worthy photograph. Feeling so inspired, I decided this week would be “Sandwich Week” in our [...]

Family Day at the Fort Wayne Zoo
Today was “Family Day” for Brent’s work, and so we got free admission and lunch at the Fort Wayne Children’s Zoo. We have no children obviously, but I love a good zoo.
It was (again) so hot and humid out. I got overheated and sweaty (a bit cranky), but overall it was a really good time. [...]

Thickburger
I was craving a burger for the past few days. I was originally just going to buy some veggie burgers, because I like them, but I can’t justify pending $1 per burger! So I turned to something I make a lot: black bean burgers! I make each of them with a full serving of black [...]

How My Garden Grows
Still scorching over here in Indiana, but the humidity appears to have reached an all-time high! Brent and I went for our run this morning, and I felt soaked with sweat the minute I walked out the door!
During this heat wave, I’ve been especially concerned about my poor little garden. I don’t really have a [...]

Ozone Action Day
Blech. We’re on our 6th or so day of 90+ degree weather. We finally had to break down and turn on the AC which I usually try to avoid. As such, we haven’t been eating much soup lately, which is our lunchtime staple. It’s just been too freaking hot! So what do we eat on [...]

Herby
My goal for yesterday was to use up some of the herb collection growing in my fridge from the CSA. First up, I made the rosemary and onion foccacia from Artisan Bread in Five Minutes a Day. The only difference I did with mine was that I used my half whole wheat version, which uses [...]

Giveaway Goodies!
Awhile ago I won a giveaway of some Oikos coupons from Petit Foodie. I was very grateful and began using them immediately, but unfortunately two of the coupons are for 16oz tubs of the Oikos, and no stores around here sell it in the larger size. Believe me, I tried everywhere! Not wanting this great [...]
