As some of you might have noticed, if you have the same addiction, I like a bit of Anthropologie. For those of you who don’t know Anthropologie you might be thinking, my goodness, doesn’t she know how to spell by now? Or, what does the study of comparative cultures have to do with flatbread? For … Continue reading
These might just be the crackers to top all other crackers. They’re flecked all the way through with roasted nuts and chewy bits of cranberry, and they’re crunchy enough to satisfy any snack-addict. Rosemary adds its piney, fresh presence, while whole wheat gives them a savory depth. The crackers are sturdy enough to spread with cheese or hold some dip, but they’re also fantastic on all on their own as a mid-afternoon snack.
Can you tell the difference between loving food and being addicted?
Here's the other sauce to go with Momofuku's Bo Ssam, and it's a heady brew of ginger and scallion. Hardly a sauce at all, at least how I think of a sauce, it's more of a condiment. Although it tasted a bit strong and overpowering by itself, paired with the rich pork of the Bo Ssam, it was a thing of beauty. I think it's best made a little ahead so the flavors have a chance to mellow and mingle. I did add just a touch of sugar to it. I also knew our family would be slow starters on
The most beautiful, delicious layered cake! Salted Caramel Chocolate Cheesecake Cake! This is exactly what you were looking for, right? I’m a bit addicted to salted caramel right now.

I’m a bit of an oatmeal fanatic. Yes, it’s a tad strange. But if you’re going to be addicted to a breakfast food, at least I chose one of our Greatist superfoods. The tricky part is that I tend to completely despise those prepackaged instant oatmeal packets.

Ever seen the television show "Chopped"? My students love to watch it and have been bugging me to let them compete in our class. However, with large classes, short bells, and limited budget, it was proving to be a bit difficult. However, I think I have figured out a good way to go about it. I think it's a great and of the year project as well, because it helps get rid of extra food in a good way.Read more →
Light, bright, and with a summery burst of lemon that I so love, this Zucchini and Lemon Quinoa Pilaf is set to become one of my summer favourites. It’s wonderful hot or cold, and leftovers are wonderful packaged up to take to work for a healthy lunch.
This is a great recipe to use up some of the copious summer squash available at this time of year. These cheese and veggie cakes are great for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. Leftovers are delicious even when served cold from the fridge. Cheese and Veggie Cakes Serves 4 3-4 summer squash (such as yellow crookneck or zucchini) 2 carrots 1.5 tsp celtic sea salt 8 oz cooked bacon or ham, minced 5 oz shredded cheddar cheese 1/4 cup parmesan cheese 3 eggs, preferably from pastured hens 1/4 cup almond flour, preferably from crispy almonds 1/4 tsp celtic sea salt pinch of freshly ground pepper Butter (or other cooking fat, such as bacon grease or tallow) Sour cream, to garnish Shred the veggies and remove the water: Using a food processor or grater, shred the squash and carrots. Combine the shredded veggies with 1.5 tsp salt, stir well, and place in a colander or strainer. Place the colander or strainer over a bowl and let sit for several hours. This is a very important step to pull the water out of the veggies. Rinse and drain the veggies: While still in the colander, rinse the shredded veggies with plenty of water and then drain well. Press down on the veggies to really squeeze the water out. Combine veggies and other ingredients: In a medium bowl, combine veggies, bacon or ham, cheddar and Parmesan cheeses, eggs, almond flour, 1/4 tsp salt, and a pinch of pepper. Stir well. Heat griddle or skillet: Heat a griddle or skillet over medium heat. You'll know it is ready when a drop of water sizzles immediately. Cook cakes in butter: Melt some butter (or other cooking fat) on the griddle or skillet. Use a 3 Tb scoop or large spoon to scoop the veggie/cheese mixture onto the griddle. Cook the cakes over medium-low heat, flipping them after about 7-10 minutes. Allow them to become nicely browned, and then place them on a napkin or paper towel to cool. Melt some more butter and continue cooking the cakes, a few at a time. Garnish and enjoy: Top the cheese and veggie cakes with a smear of sour cream, and enjoy!

by Sean Croxton Food addiction is the real deal. To speak of a dependency on sugar in the same breath as cocaine and alcohol addiction seems a bit odd, but biologically they cannot be more similar. The brain needs a fix. The neurochemicals that are over-amplified and imbalanced by street drugs and booze are the very same ones that are triggered by sweets and other processed foods. Some experts and addicts even say that food addiction can be harder to kick than a bad cocaine habit. Scoring some coke requires a dealer. Cookies, donuts, and bread are literally everywhere. On this week’s episode of UW Radio, Dr. Vera Tarman, M.D. showed us just how real food addiction really is. There’s a reason why so many of us just can’t so no to sugar, why we can’t stick to our diets no matter how hard we try, and why a great proportion of the 60,000 thoughts we have every day have to do with food. There’s a good chance that these behaviors are all in your head. Your brain, that is. It’s been hijacked. As I prepared for my broadcast with Dr. Tarman, I became familiar with a simplified version of how this hijacking takes place. Check it out...

I often make a chocolate cream pie for holiday gatherings because it seems to offer just the right amount of decadence to properly celebrate the season. I've come up with a slightly crumbly hazelnut-cocoa crust that is suitably flourless as well as being a wonderful complement to the rich chocolate. Be gentle as you press it into your baking pan, as it may be a bit delicate to work with.
For someone living with an eating disorder — no matter how far he or she is on a recovery journey — day-to-day eating can be daunting. The holidays pose...
