So, first I want to apologize that I’m posting all these pumpkin recipes mid a pumpkin shortage. Well, let me rephrase, mid a CANNED pumpkin shortage. I’m not saying I have the balls to make my own puree, but please do feel free to send some to me! Below is my homemade pumpkin soup recipe that [...]

Pumpkin Muffins

Something about being a parent amazes me. I’ve put my parents through the ringer–first my heavy metal music preference, then my interest in men who listen to/play heavy metal, my choice to go to NYU in the “scariest of cities” to my attitude and sarcastic nature. Yet still, they love me. They love me this much: Yes, for [...]
Spicy Honey Balsamic Chicken

Recently, I’ve been searching for more and more quick and healthy hot dinner recipes, so that my dinner making doesn’t impede on my Xbox 360 Lego Starwars time. This recipe is just a mosh of things I had in the fridge/pantry and is easily put together between levels of the game. Plus, the chicken is super juicy [...]

::Throws dust on fire:: and now for the tale of the transforming chocolates…… OK, PLEASE tell me at least one of you have seen Are You Afraid of the Dark? For all of you non-watchers, it was a show on Nickelodeon that still haunts me to this day. Basically, a bunch of kids would sit [...]
Colonel Mustard, In The Kitchen, With The Pork Chops
Posted in Main Dishes (For The Low Cal Left Brain), tagged Pork on November 17, 2009 | 1 Comment »
I love Fresh Direct. I love how the food is always fresh, it shows up at my door when I want it, and how reasonable the prices are. What I love even more is being part of the Chef’s Table, a club that gives giant discounts on something different every week or two. This week? Pork. I [...]
Sweet Potato Hash
Posted in Sides (For The Low Cal Left Brain), tagged Breakfast, Potato on November 14, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
Let’s talk sweet potatoes. Sweet potatoes are the older, soccer-playing, grilled chicken-eating brother of the white potato world. They are supremely healthier than any other form of potato and full of vitamins. Although still high calorie, they are worth throwing into your diet every so often. I have a habit of cutting them in half [...]
Herb Roast Chicken

Cooking chicken is easily the root of all issues related to living with a member of the opposite sex. In my home, as well as in my parents’ home (with my mom and dad), or any time I have cooked for a man, I have found the same problem. I want white meat, skinless, and [...]
Pot Steamed Artichokes
Posted in Sides (For The Low Cal Left Brain), tagged Artichoke, Vegetable on November 7, 2009 | 6 Comments »
Ever since I was a kid, I’ve had my dad’s voice playing like a record in my head saying, ”It might have choked Artie, but it will never choke me!” I have no idea what this comes from, or why he ALWAYS said it, but when I was visiting my parents in Westchester over my nice little first [...]
Ruta-Wha?

Yes, meet the rutabaga. I have no idea why my mom and I decided to pick up a shrunken head look-a-like to cook for dinner when I was back at my parent’s house on vacation, but it worked. This is the UGLIEST vegetable I have ever seen in my life. It looks just like a shrunken head!! Plus, it’s a giant [...]
One Fish, Two Fish
Posted in Main Dishes (For The Low Cal Left Brain), tagged Fish on November 1, 2009 | 1 Comment »
I want to get a few things on the table before I write this post, because I think they are important for you to know before you read this. My mom made this, not me. However, I have eaten it many times. My father doesn’t like most fish recipes, yet loves this. I am not allowed [...]
