Lemon pan-roasted Brussels sprouts

February 29, 2012

I’m always looking to try new, interesting sides for whatever entrée I’m highlighting for dinner. I find sides are always where I slack in the kitchen.

What do you mean you take the same lunch to work every day? Let’s change that, shall we? Changing it up is a good thing- you get a wider range of nutrients (read: healthier) and best of all, eating the same thing every day is boring. Let’s shake it up! This recipe is a twist [...]

Curried Cauliflower Rice

February 22, 2012

This is the week of easy recipes. I’ve been busy, so I simply have not had time to invent anything complicated. This is fine with me- I don’t think there’s anything wrong with simple recipes, and often, the recipes with the least ingredients are the most flavorful and interesting.
