Eat, Recycle, Repeat

Well I completed the Live Below the Line Challenge – and it went as well I as had expected. My main source of food was the chicken broth I made from $1.00 chicken bones, and the only time I noticed a pinch was when I went to the vegetable market. I’m used to buying whatever [...]

I’m sitting here listening to the Nutcracker Suite, since it is the start of December. And I can’t help think of “Trepak” as a metaphor for the holiday season – lots of fun but a total whirlwind, leaving you dizzy and exhausted at the end. I’m so thankful to be part of the December Sanity [...]

My dear friend Shirley has just launched a fabulous new site: All Gluten Free Desserts! Shirley is an amazing lynchpin in the gluten-free/allergy-friendly/paleo/food blogger community. She loves bringing people together (virtually and in person) and she loves sharing others recipes in order to help us all have wonderful food memories. I send many friends who [...]

Originally all I could think of for this title was, Thank You From the Bottom of my Heart. Do you wonder what that expression means, bottom of my heart? Does my heart have a bottom? It doesn’t hold enough meaning for me, so Id like to thank you all from the middle of my center…um…because [...]

I’m really into the holidays this year, and I’m not sure why. Maybe last year, my first year in Japan, I didn’t let myself get so excited for fear of becoming homesick. Also, I didn’t have a blog during Halloween of last year, and I wasn’t on Pinterest! So maybe the internet world is influencing [...]

Alright folks, let’s get ready to rumble. It’s my privilege to host this month’s Adopt a Gluten Free blogger series, and I want to end on a high note for Sea over at the Book of Yum. She’s actually in Japan right now, so I think it is kind of fitting that her brainchild follows [...]

I’ve been feeling a bit guilty because things have been light on the recipe posts of late. Mostly I’ve been channeling my free time into writing and developing new materials for the re-launch of Eat, Recycle, Repeat on Tuesday, September 18th! In the meantime, I’ve been eating pretty much the same thing, or making food [...]

Part of the Food for Thought series: I wrote this to myself a week or two ago during some sleepless, technically-over-my-head filled nights. I frantically was searching for it yesterday to type up, and I started to criticize myself for not having my documents in better order and the need to get a better, more [...]
