Week 18: Working Through the Pains… This week was a recovery week for us…recovery in a couple of ways. Recovering from the Thanksgiving Holiday (plus all of those leftovers, my vegan platter shown above) and allowing our bodies recover from 16+ miles of running over the course of 3 days! Luckily as the week [...] “Breakfast” Cake…Because Why Not Cake For Breakfast? What makes a “breakfast cake”??? Well, in this case, my co-workers were highly anticipating my arrival with my strawberry themed cake and couldn’t wait to eat it…for breakfast! I thought that was an ok proposition, as you’ll see, this cake is more of a quick bread than a cake [...] American Twists to a Classic Mexican Dish… I was first introduced to calabacita con pollo at our favorite tex-mex restaurant, Sylvia’s Enchilada Kitchen (see capirotada and fajitas posts). It’s a wonderful and light dish, reminding me of a good light summer meal (much like my vegetarian penne). We had a lot of Mexican-style ingredients sitting around [...] The Next Step in my Pancake Journey… Okay…you probably know by now that I love pancakes…not jut any pancakes, but healthy pancakes. For some reason, I can’t get myself to eat classic buttermilk pancakes made with APF. I crave multigrain or alternative grain pancakes. That luckily (or unluckily, you decide) means I need to make my [...] The Fifth and Final Installment of “Eating Healthy(ish) on the Road…” Series Carbo-loading for a big run? This meal will do the trick! On Friday, I was readying to run the Bayou City Classic 10k (which I unfortunately missed) and was looking for a good, healthy way to carb load without going out to our favorite Italian restaurant, George’s Pastaria (I was in desperate need of a homecooked [...] What a Glorious Way to Start off a Sunday! I’m finally back home in Houston from my 2 week long business trip to Austin! That means I can get back to blogging and catch everyone up on some of my recipes from the past few weeks… Second in the “Eating Healthy(ish) on the road…” series On Monday evening, I had gone to a “Mexican/Tex-Mex” (not really, but they said they were), restaurant in Austin and got a combination beef and chicken fajitas. I normally prefer enchiladas and not fajitas, but I had a mission in mind…leftovers for Tuesday lunch! First in the Series of “Eating Healthy(ish) on the road… “ This past Sunday was a busy one for me…I was preparing to leave town for 2 weeks on a business trip and had to make enough goodies to sustain myself in a somewhat healthy manner while I was away. So, this will act as the [...] Another way to make leftovers new! Yesterday I made a large batch of arepas which we served with shredded beef. There are a bunch of patties left, so I decided to prepare my lunch for work tomorrow! This time, I’ll serve with a chunk of Queso Fresco and Refried Black Beans… |
