First, I would like to thank Theraflu for this post, because without thee, I would still be hacking up a storm and be even more cranky than I am in general (Yes, that is possible). I’ve spent the past week unabashedly eating Girl Scout cookies by the sleeve (Have you tried the Lemonades? Holy Jesus!). So in penance, [...]

Roasted Butternut Squash Soup

My posting skills have been awful lately. I keep trying to write stuff and I realize I’m just not funny. I think my physical ability to be funny has run away from me lately and I’m willing to pay top dollar to find it. I can only imagine that this is how Guy Fieri feels [...]
Aunt Sindy’s Sassy Spears
Posted in Sides (For The Low Cal Left Brain), tagged Cucumber, Pickle, Vegetable on December 12, 2010 | 2 Comments »
For the past few family gatherings, my Aunt Sindy has added something extra to the table. She introduced us to her sassy spears–a lower sodium, low-calorie pickle that she makes at home. After being berated at work for “making them all fat”, I decided it was time to cook something up that’s a happier and healthier option. I [...]
Roasted Eggplant with Herbs

It is not very often that I am stopped dead in my tracks due to food pictures. Bloggers like Tartelette have fantastic pictures, but those pictures are so beautiful I often think I have no chance at being able to replicate the dish, let alone have my Steinbeckesque Lennie-ridden hands make something so pretty. When I saw this recipe [...]
Do It Yourself Healthy Microwave Popcorn
Posted in Sides (For The Low Cal Left Brain), tagged Popcorn on November 19, 2010 | Leave a Comment »
Before I get into this recipe, I want to put in a disclaimer. I, too, was initially a non-believer. When my mom first told me about this, I wasn’t that, well, excited. So what? It’s popcorn. I make popcorn in my 100 calorie snack packs all the time, or buy the Half Naked brand which is [...]
Easy Sherry Mushrooms

One thing that I love about my apartment is my proximity to Spanish Harlem. There are a ton of Hispanic grocers with malt-o-meal cereal (yay Coco Roos!) and cheap produce. During a super sale on canned anchovies (ew, ew, ew) and baby portabellas, I stocked up. Now, I’m not gonna try to enchant you and tell [...]
Almond Butter – Raw
Posted in Main Dishes (For The Low Cal Left Brain), Sides (For The Low Cal Left Brain), tagged Almond, Raw Food Diet on October 17, 2010 | Leave a Comment »
The raw diet was definitely a success. It’s amazing how much better I felt on the diet and I really only found myself craving anything non-raw near the end, mostly because I don’t understand life without grilled chicken. It changed my views on processed food and showed me how much food is truly processed. It’s [...]
Raw Hummus

Yes you heard me ladies and gents, raw hummus. Most humans who eat hummus don’t even realize that it isn’t raw because the chickpeas are boiled in the process. I read about replacing chickpeas with tons of things such as cashews or walnuts; however, calculating the calories in my head made my hips grow on [...]
Spicy Cauliflower Salad — Raw
Posted in Sides (For The Low Cal Left Brain), tagged Cauliflower, Raw Food Diet on September 29, 2010 | Leave a Comment »
The nicest thing about eating raw food is the ease of preparation. Everything is basically prepared and you are so limited on what you can eat, that it’s even easier to choose. Luckily, lemon juice can tenderize most vegetables and turn raw cauliflower–comparable to eating dry sand–into something delicious. I suggest altering salt, pepper, and [...]
Lightening and Loving “The Minimalist”– Braised Artichokes
Posted in Sides (For The Low Cal Left Brain), tagged Artichoke, Mark Bittman on September 7, 2010 | 1 Comment »
Dear Mark Bittman, Marry me? Okay, I’m sorry. Maybe I should take this a little slower. I love you–wait, maybe slower. Alright, so I read your column every week while eating my lunch, and drool over your creations. Your ability to make something that looks so delicious from so little astounds me. I love your [...]
