Looking for something sexier to eat? Love your spinach and other greens but wanna get SPICY? Try mustard greens! I got mustard greens in my locally sourced veggie & fruit box this week, which was filled with a SLEW OF LEAFY GREEN THINGS. After staring at pictures on the internet of mustard greens and ensuring…
So before I had my eating epiphany, I really WAS trying to make an effort to eat more at home, and not just Lean Cuisine frozen meals. Hey, laugh all you want – as a single chick, Lean Cuisines are pretty awesome and convenient. When they were on sale for $2 each, I would leave…
After drastically changing my eating habits to lose weight, including eating a lot more vegetables and animals in original format, I have started to become REALLY aware of the foods we eat. Bottom line: HOLY SH!T THERE IS SUGAR EVERYWHERE! Wanting to get INSIDE ME. Get me all jiggy and jiggly. Sugar is a secret…
I’ve had a strange series of health events in the past few months. Sequence of events: 9/17/2012 I got a bikini for a weekend trip and realized I had gotten chubby. I got the largest size this bikini came in and it didn’t really fit. A few days later, went on a ketogenic diet and…
I am on a rampage – if you are a vegetarian or animal lover, you may want to click away from this blog. Ever since getting a pressure cooker, I have decided to cook a new animal in it every week. So far I’ve made cow, veggies* and pig. *Veggies are totally an animal. Especially…

FYI I now have a whole site dedicated to low carb meals over at LowCarbKitty.com! I attempted to make ratatouille the other day in the pressure cooker. It came out OK – I ate it over cauliflower-rice. I’ll post the recipe here in case you want to try it, but note my modifications. Took the…
Mom was so impressed with my change in eating habits and attempts at cooking that she sent me a pressure cooker (6 qt) as an early Christmas gift. FYI I now have a low carb recipe site over at LowCarbKitty.com! I have never even seen one, much less used one, so last night was my…
Had a FANTASTIC Thanksgiving and I hope you did as well! For the first time, I hosted a Thanksgiving ‘dinner’ at my place, and did almost all the cooking. Growing up, and continuing in that tradition, we tend to serve at 2 PM. First, my sister convinced mom and I to do a 5k that…
Thanksgiving has always been my favorite holiday. I loved having all our family descend onto our house, and it seemed that first snow always fell that day. So we’d be stuffed full and then snowflakes would begin to swirl. Thanksgiving is at my house this year and I’m REALLY in the holiday spirit! I now…
