A crazy experiment

Image
Yesterday was a lovely day. After I got off work I had lunch with a friend and we had a great time. I made sandwiches and served it with organic blue corn and flax seed tortilla chips. The chips were a recent find at Target and I am in love. The bag has been open for two days and I have eaten at least half the bag. What can I say, I sometimes go crazy when I get the munchies. I definitely prefer salty and crunchy to sweet. Unless it is something salty and crunchy covered in chocolate. That is what I call the best of both worlds. After lunch we went to a thrift store she told me about. I forget the name of it, but every Wednesday all their clothes are $1.09. How crazy is that!? They had some really cute stuff too. I spend $7.00 and got 2 dresses, 1 skirt, 1 pair shorts, 2 blouses. Thrift stores are the best. However, none of that has anything to do with my crazy experiment. When I got home at six I felt quite adventurous so I did something I have never done before. I cooked without a re...

Bleat goes the goat

At least that is what Wikipedia says about what goats sound like. So I have recently found a new food love. I was at Sam's the other day looking through their vast array of cheeses and found goat milk cheese. I have never had it before and I am trying to stay away from cow milk so I thought I would give it a try. I brought it home and tasted a little bite and I was in heaven. I made this discovery last Monday and I think I may have eaten it with at least two of my meals every day since then. Yesterday I ate it all three meals; breakfast, lunch, and dinner. I have eaten it with eggs, falafels, roasted vegetables, salads, and even with a spinach chicken dog (which was another amazingly tasty discovery I made at Sam's). Tomorrow I am going to put it in a quiche and I am super excited. So around 7:30 tonight when I was contemplating what to eat for dinner guess what first popped into my mind? Something that I could put goat cheese on. I also have a bunch of spring mix in the fridge...

The Start of Something New

Hello world. My name is Noelle and this is my food blog. I have been thinking about starting one for a while (with encouragement from my husband). I am addicted to reading an excessive number of them on a daily basis. Most are focused towards healthy eating, raw food, food on a budget, sometimes food that breaks the budget, baking, and fitness. They have inspired me with their artistry, creativity, passion and how much love they put into making the food that they prepare. I am inspired and I want to be a part of it. However, I have a shortcoming I must overcome as I embark on this journey. Consistency and finishing the things I start have always been a struggle for me. Cleaning day is a perfect example. I know that everyone has their own method of doing things. Mine is to start about ten projects at once and finish maybe 60% of them. I need accountability and solidarity in my life and maybe writing in this blog will give me tools to help me become the person I want ...
