My Box of Plants from Door to Door Organics – With Kale, Amongst Other Things!

So I recently got the pleasure of receiving a box of veggies from Door to Door Organics. And lets be honest, there are few things more exciting in this world than opening up a box and finding it full of plants! There was a decent range of stuff in the box, including lettuce, teeny little [...]

Picci’s Pizza (Idaho Springs Trip Part II)

In the grand historical tradition of my priorities, when writing the two parter about the delicious things found in Idaho Springs (first part found here), I of course put the dessert post first, despite the fact that, against my very nature, I managed to postpone the eating of the majority of said dessert until after [...]

Whereupon We Eat Salad, Fries & Pizza at Udi’s in Old Towne

Udi’s is a food-making entity in the Denver area. I say “Entity” as they seem to do a giant glob of things, including catering, pre-made food in grocery stores, and restaurants. Up until recently, my only experience with them was making pizzas on their gluten-free crust for a co-worker of Drew’s. Didn’t actually try the [...]

A Nice Healthy Fruit Salad, Chock Full of Marshmallow and Chocolate

First off, sorry for the two weeks of not posting, I’d intended to post while on vacation, but the Atlantic Ocean got the better of me. Anyhow, here’s to a higher posting frequency in the future! I have always held the opinion that a fruit salad just isn’t a proper fruit salad without chocolate. I [...]

Hooray for Salad Time!

Spring is a glorious time, as it means you can finally look forward to vaguely healthy looking plants in the produce section of your local grocery store. No more shall your tomatoes double as weaponry! Ok, if you feel like spending upwards of $2.50-$3/lb, you can buy healthy looking tomatoes all winter long, but the [...]

Refreshing Salads and Sandwiches

So in the interest of it being hot and summer and all, I will now post about seasonally-appropriate foodstuffs. Mmm…foodstuffs. First off, we have a delightful salad concoction that I first tried at Drew’s cousin Amanda’s birthday party not too long ago. As it has no name that I am aware of, I shall (for [...]

My Big Fat Oozing Mediterranean Sandwich

I feel like I have discovered the ultimate in vegetable versatility. I’d been looking for some sort of Mediterranean salad to make and was a bit overwhelmed with all of the possibilities I came across online. So I decided to pick and choose things I liked from each recipe (or rather, things I already had [...]

Adventures with Fruit Salad

Fruit salad is a joyous thing. The reason for this is that to me, fruit salad would not be what it is without chocolate chips and marshmallows. That’s what I ate growing up (those, plus a large assortment of fruit, I should mention), and that’s the standard to which I hold all fruit salad. A [...]

Sunomono (of Joy)

I may have mentioned this before, but I will never again have the problem of too many cucumbers. It’s not a commonly occurring problem for most people, and in the past, I have mostly only been afflicted with it when I’ve been acquainted with entirely too many people who have had gardens with cucumbers in [...]

Sunomono, or Rather, What to Do With All These Cucumbers

I had briefly considered growing cucumbers this summer. It’s the first year ever since I’d moved out of my parents place some 10ish years ago that I’ve had a yard. Or rather, if you’re willing to define ‘yard’ as ‘lying 4 refrigerators on their sides, tracing the area, then covering that area with dirt plus [...]
