This is my new obsession. Making oatmeal at work is awful. Our microwave is older than I am. If I want to make quick (and the most voluminous) oats, I would need a microwaveable safe bowl that I would have to hand wash (ew) and I would have to cart in anything I want to [...]

I hate zesting. More than anything in the whole entire world. More than the relentless coverage of Lindsay Lohan’s clothes during her stupid necklace trial, more than dark lip liner with light lipstick, and even more than I hate ferrets (furry, smelly spawns of satan). However, zesting can have its triumphs and this is one. Don’t get me wrong–it does make [...]

A few months ago, we had some coworkers in from London and on their last day, after plenty of meetings, we finally all went out for lunch. I know that as Americans, everything is bigger and better here, i.e. the Friendly’s Grilled Cheese Burgermelt or the KFC Double Down. However, you don’t really realize how big portions [...]
Jessica’s Laziest Things!–Oatmeal Edition

And now for another episode of Jessica’s Laziest Things! This box is my savior. Around junior year of college my addiction to eating things that tasted good due to butter and oil caught up with me and rested on my hips and clung to my belly button. I switched from eating boxed cereal, which I emotionally could [...]
Light and Easy French Toast

I loveeee Easter time. It always reminds me of two things–days off from school and Cadbury eggs. I looveeeeeee Cadbury eggs. They are the future source of world peace. Anyway, whenever I had days off from school, I used to make diet French toast–because I’m obviously mentally incapable of eating anything high calorie without feeling guilty. [...]

Strata

When Little Mommies told me she would be making a “strata” for Hanukkah, I assumed that it would be some form of a multilayered cake and I was excited. Then when she told me that a strata was an egg dish filled with cheese, I was even more excited. Then, when she told me she was going [...]

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 [...]
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 [...]
