A healthy, multicultural stir-fry with zing, zest and zip! In 10 minutes!

It’s late, you’re hungry, you want Chinese, but that’s just so bad for you. You open the fridge, tap your fingers on the top, searching for something sweet but salty, chewy but with a crunch, meaty but light at the same time. It may seem like a lot for one dish to live up to, [...]

Escaping Winter: Low-Calorie Blueberry-Flaxseed Cake

Oh blueberry! My sweet, sweet blueberry. You’re not truly blue and you do explode when exposed to radiation, but you will always be my favorite. Don’t tell the other berries (the black ones and the red ones) for they may become jealous, but you were the favorite all along. I know you won’t believe me [...]

The Ultimate “Like-Substance”: Chocolate Cake

In a vain effort to increase my readership, I went a-googling for “tips on getting more blog followers”. Now, I consider myself quite a good “googler” and am my family’s (non-resident) google-queen. My obsession with search-engine driven answers has reached to such an extent that I am known to google such phrases as, “help i [...]

Indian-Spiced Quinoa Edamame Cutlets (and some ramblings on life)

I went and saw my advisor today. I think I was hoping for him to give me the answers–tell me what to do with the rest of my life. The bureaucratic nightmare that was the posting of my transfer credits is finally over, which means I did indeed graduate this past semester. Yay, yipee, right? [...]

Quinoa-stuffed Red Pepper

I just realized that, ever since I started abiding by the “two posts a week rule” the online newspaper this blog is part of has, my posts have become…well…post-less. I don’t know. I mean, I know that the point of having a blog is to post in it. And the point of having a food/eating [...]

Quinoa Cereal (with cooked quinoa)

As unfortunate as it sounds, I don’t really have any clever banter today. I do, but it’s fairly depressing and self-pitying so I thought I’d spare anyone who happens upon this blog. I did come up with this recipe a while back, though. I was waiting to post it until I HAD some non-self-pitying clever [...]

Zen #6: Quality, Not Quantity (and a delicious summer salad)

I’ve been craving carbs. Insanely. I think it’s the long weekend–4 straight days of nothing to do but ponder how no one even cares to call me. I actually attempted to have a real conversation with a telemarketer yesterday. So, do you think your job is pathetic? Oh, no, not at all, I find the [...]

Nutty Quinoa Cake

No, there’s no actual nuts in this. I have found, though, that if you rinse the quinoa like you’re supposed to and toast it like some people suggest, it really does taste like something that’s half way between almonds and hazelnuts. Sorry I haven’t been posting all that much. I’ve been kind of depressed these [...]
