a real deal
i love this set of plates that i just picked up. the price really cracks me up, too. i know that every penny counts - but $.30? that is like a 17 mph speed limit...so odd!

still moosewood-ing
after i made the amazing sesame tofu with spinach, i had tofu and greens leftover. i decided to use them to make the orange-glazed tofu from the moosewood cooking for health book. they were both so, so good. i had gingery brown rice and wilted spicy greens with each type of tofu...so awesome.

shoot for the stars
a part of my collection of plants at work, this funny cactus has grown from a mini little inch to this crazy tall guy in a few months. where does he think he is going?

cook the book
i've had the moosewood simple suppers cookbook for about 5 years and have never once made anything from it even though every (really, EVERY recipe...except for the fish chapter) sounds SO GOOD. so decided to cook the book...each time i actually take the time to officially make something, it is from this book. i've actually made a lot so far. everything is super..simple. for real. really easy, really great and with stuff that i generally have anyway. pictured above is the roasted ratatouille which was dynamite.

my first estate sale
i spent new years day at my first estate sale while in chicago. it was great. and sad and weird. but even that was kinda great. luckily i was with a real pro, so i really lucked out. i got tons for around $10.

chicago dog
for my chicago dog, we went to superdawg. i was so excited as it is featured in my second favorite tv show of all time, a hot dog program (favorite show of all time is sandwiches you will like, duh). it was fun and had great packaging.

every morning
i have this nearly every winter morning. oatmeal with tons of toppings. it is really easy to make and tastes so good. i make it the night before and warm it up in the microwave at work - seriously, so easy.
the night before (at least 8 hours), combine the following and put it in the fridge:
.5 c rolled oats
1 c milk or water ( i do .5 c milk, .5 c water)
tiny dash of vanilla
the next morning, i microwave it for about 1-2 minutes (watch it because it can overflow) and add the topping:
1 tsp brown sugar
1 tsp ground flax seed
1 tsp whole flax seed
a sprinkle of wheat germ
about 1 walnut
tiny dash of kosher salt
a shake of cinnamon
check this out for other oatmeal ideas.
