Sunday is the day I tell myself, “Okay Lizzy, this is the week you are going to be amazing, not drink any wine, and eat freaking healthy and lose some lbs.” So, with the help of a few pots of coffee, I get all my food prep done for my workday lunches, and some dinners. This week I was dying to change up my breakfast routine, so we made these really simple quiches and they turned out great.
From time to time, I get really lucky and receive awesome care packages from a friend of mine that I work with. If you read my blog regularly, you probably know what these packages consist of – fish that has been just caught right out of the gulf, cleaned, filleted, and delivered right to me at work in a cooler filled with ice. How lucky am I? This weeks catch – YELLOWFIN TUNA!! Yes, thats right, fresh yellowfin tuna caught […]
The first thing anyone thinks about when planning a party is most often food – or at least that’s what I think about! One of my favorite parts about planning a dinner party or get together is how creative I get to be with appetizers. For some reason, it just come so much easier to me to put together small dishes like this recipe, than think of creative new dinner ideas. And… it’s March 18th… do you know what that means? […]
I love to eat fish a few nights a week not only because it makes me feel better eating a lighter dinner, but because I just feel like I am able to digest it so much better than meat. On my last grocery trip, I set out to find some sea bass to make one of my favorite recipes, miso glazed sea bass in my sous vide, but was sorely disappointed when I couldn’t find any fresh. This is when I […]
I’ve had a bit of a hard time lately trying to balance everything in my life – work, hobbies, obligations, passions, health, exercise, sleep, family, friends, dogs…. the list could go on and on, but I’ll stop it before I overwhelm you. I know this is a problem so many people have and I’m certainly not alone, but sometimes when I start to have issues with the balancing act of life it sure can feel like it. So, where do I go when […]
I don’t know what my deal is lately, but I have been craving soup and making it at least 2 times a week. Luckily, my poor boyfriend is nice enough to smile and eat his heart out no matter what I cook, so I can get away with doing this :). I guess that is the nice thing about it being winter. I don’t know if you saw some of my other recent posts, but during the week I am trying […]
I love taking cooking classes any opportunity I get, and living in Houston I am blessed with quite a few places I can take them – Well Done Cooking, Central Market, Sur La Table, Williams Sonoma, and a bunch of other smaller businesses. One of my biggest regrets was always that I didn’t go to culinary school, so taking these classes in my free time is what keeps inner me happy and centered – it’s like my version of meditating :). I took […]
