I have to admit, it was reassuring to read all the like-minded comments on my recent “I Hate Winter” post (even though it meant that a bunch of you are also having to endure it, too). Thanks, all. Despite my best intentions to abolish my abhorrence of winter, the Season of Slush and Ice just keeps on giving me […]

Raw Asian Slaw with Fennel, Beet and Carrot
So: I’m going to make an effort to try to attempt to give it my best shot and strive to endeavor to maybe have a crack at liking winter a little more. I mean, I can’t complain about it right through until April, can I? (okay, don’t answer that). Well, with inspiration from Alicia’s “Happy Thoughts” at the conclusion of each […]

Before I get to today’s post, I wanted to thank everyone for your comments on yesterday’s “What I Eat” post. I am really loving the conversation that’s going on–please add your own two cents!

Flash in the Pan: Rich and Creamy Chai Carob Latte
[Sometimes, you just want a dish that’s “no fuss.” I’ve decided to offer a mini-post every once in a while, for a dish that comes together incredibly quickly or else is so simple to make that no recipe is required. Here’s today’s “Flash in the Pan.” (For other FitP recipes, see “Categories” at right).] Do you […]
Double Ginger Quinoa Scones
Seems we all focus on the “main event” meals during the holidays, poring over cookbooks or stressing about which dressing would be best with the tofurkey (okay, I know many of you don’t eat tofurkey–but it’s such a fun word to say, isn’t it?). But what about the meals after the big meals? What about […]

These are things I already love and actually eat (or use) regularly, and which I’d love to share with you. Here’s my fifth Festive Freebie–with a charitable twist. Click here […]
Rutabaga Gratin
My recipe this week, surprisingly, involves rutabaga. (It’s only a surprise, really, if you know my history with this gnarly root–but we’ve now gotten past our differences, the ‘Baga and I). It all started in the Garden of Eden. Well, okay, not literally, but it began with the promise of a portrait. And before that, it had its […]
