In The Works

Click Photo For Etsy Shop I have a big post in the works titled “Why It’s Personal” and all the things I’ve been learning and experiencing in the past couple of weeks since reading Brain Over Binge . I will also explain some of the methods I’m implementing and my goals. February is looking good! This month I’m working on a Spring Wear it Well e-course to come out March 5th. I’ve got six new models of all size ranges and styles lined up to be featured in the book, plus 175+ pages of information that can actually be applied to your closet as-is. This is most exciting to me, sometimes I feel like magazines only feature clothes that are not very wearable or way too expensive. My goal is to provide real-life solutions for wearing and transforming what we already have and new ways to go shopping.

Brown Butter Mushrooms With Creamy Noodles

admin — Fri, 27 Jan 2012 08:51:43 +0000

I have a new love… Don’t tell Josh, but it’s starting to get serious. These cremini (crimini?) mushrooms are downright life changing. I like to say pretty much all things that I love are life changing, but these guys are dear to my heart. They are so rich and satisfying. That umami flavor does it for me. And cats too apparently . I can’t tell you when I first tried mushrooms, but I’ve know about this love for awhile now. I grew up with a mushroom (and egg!) hating mom who I can confirm would never serve mushrooms to me as per my previous post. One day I’m going to get her to love mushrooms. One day mom, just you wait! If you too love mushrooms then this very quick and easy recipe is for you! Ingredients: brown butter mushrooms: 5 C. chopped cremini mushrooms, 1 t. salt, 2 T butter creamy noodles: half package of egg noodles (4 C. cooked), 1/4 C. sour cream, 1 T butter, 1/4 t. salt, 1 t garlic powder, 1 T dried parsley (plus more for garnish), 1/2 C. chopped provolone Directions: Prepare egg noodles according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside. Wash and dry mushrooms and set aside. Heat butter in a large skillet until it begins to turn brown or a light amber color. Add mushrooms to the pan, careful not to overcrowd them. Add salt and stir. Cook until tender. Put noodles back in the pot on medium heat. Add butter, sour cream, salt, garlic powder, and parsley to the noodles. Stir until the butter is melted and the noodles are heated thoroughly. Place noodles on a large serving platter and top with provolone cheese. Add mushrooms to the top of the noodles and garnish with parsley. Serve with a side salad and enjoy!

Vegetable Kung Pao

admin — Thu, 26 Jan 2012 21:21:28 +0000

I make vegetable kung pao with peanuts at least once a week. Josh loves it, I love it, and it’s quick and easy to make. I’m pretty sure I could make it with my eyes closed. I sauté two or three cups of celery and one chopped onion in 1-2 T sesame or olive oil. Cook until tender. I add fresh or powdered garlic, white pepper, a few pepper flakes, and one or two shakes of chinese five spice. Then I add about 2 T soy sauce, 2 T rice vinegar, 2 t sugar or honey, a shake of cornstarch and then 1/2 – 1 C. chicken of vegetable stock. Add more soy sauce or garlic to taste and about a cup of salted peanuts. Top off with chili sauce and serve with basmati rice. Before dinner I did 40 minutes of Insanity and I swear during the whole thing I had Bob in my head yelling at me to work harder. I think it’s because of Gail. And you know what? I worked harder! Thanks Bob (and Gail.)

Southern Goulash

admin — Thu, 26 Jan 2012 02:32:10 +0000

Today’s lunch reminds me of my mom and home. I used Bobby’s Goulash as a base recipe because it’s the closest to my mom’s goulash. My version only had one pound of ground beef, I used diced tomatoes and an open jar of spaghetti sauce, I replaced two pounds meat with 3 cups of diced cremini mushrooms, and I used worcestershire sauce instead of soy sauce. Aside from the mushrooms, which remind her of snails, I think she’d approve! I ate this meal almost three hours ago and I’m still sufficiently stuffed. It looks like dinner won’t be for a few more hours. Time to get my Insanity on!

Cherries and Clementines

admin — Wed, 25 Jan 2012 19:51:07 +0000

This morning’s breakfast: whole wheat toast with butter, local eggs (these guys were huge!), and a little fruit salad of cherries and clementines. I’m taking time to eat a filling breakfast in an attempt to eliminate the need for a snack before lunch. If I just eat cereal or something lighter, I’m hungry one or two hours later. Sometimes I’m just not satisfied and I find myself looking for something else to eat regardless of hunger. I’m thinking this will tide me over for at least four hours. Eating three filling meals a day helps with clearing my mind. I don’t have to worry so much about eating when I’m not truly hungry because it’s more clear this way. And eating enough to keep me full for hours is so helpful. I should note that I don’t think snacking is a bad thing for most people. In the past, snacking for me, leads to more snacking and eating without hunger. I’m finding that if my meal is filling, I really don’t need to eat between them. Do you eat between meals?
