Inspired by Clara: Pasta with peas

Inspired by Clara’s Pasta with peas and her “Depression Era Cooking” videos, I reached into my 10 pound bag of potatoes and got to work. As I played with potatoes and onions, I thought back to what I remember growing up. What dish was my Grandma “famous” for? And what do I remember most from [...]

Two days of eats

Oatmeal: How I love thee but won’t it get old quickly? I still have about 2 or 3 cups left in the fridge for nuking. So far my favorite way to make it (other than oodles of brown sugar and milk and butter) is banana. Gotta find some other ways! PB&J roll-up disaster I tried [...]

Saturday foodstuffs

Yeah. Difficult day. Emotionally draining. I’m glad it’s over. I ate those little quarter sandwich things on a boat that I didn’t take pictures of but I did take pictures of the dinner I ate out. Yay? Oh and I am a huge fan of steel-cut oats! Cook up a bunch and store it for [...]

Eating through Tuesday

[HAHA! I was so distracted by the laptop lunch that I forgot to 'publish' this.] Class went late Monday which threw me off. I was late to work. I hate that. Well, I wasn’t late because I was in by the implied cut-off time but I am trying to hit closer to 8 a.m. than [...]

Just another manic Monday

Another day in the journaling of foodstuffs with pictures. Greek yogurt for the first time today. One of the stress makers at school is turned in so hopefully more time for planning…. [...]

Thursday
