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?
Posted in Sides (For The Low Cal Left Brain), tagged Rosemary, Rutabaga, Vegetable on November 4, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
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 [...]
Roasted Butternut Squash
Posted in Sides (For The Low Cal Left Brain), tagged Squash, Vegetable on October 29, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
I feel that we New York City-ers are slightly jaded by produce. We live in a giant bucket of cement, yet somehow can go to Whole Foods or Food Emporium and find squash any time of the year, or mangos that might just be ripe. Little do we appreciate that these vegetables were grown under mud and [...]
Stuffed Potatoes

In accordance with my post on drop biscuits for nights of misery, everyone has a certain dish they make when they want to impress a proposed man. And ladies, these will impress a man. I am convinced that a man’s brain consists of the pie chart below: This fits many men’s brains; however, has nothing [...]
Gazpacho
Posted in Main Dishes (For The Low Cal Left Brain), tagged Soup, Vegetable on August 15, 2009 | 3 Comments »
There is nothing like a bowl of gazpacho in the summer. Light, refreshing and minimal calories (This recipe is only about 65 calories a cup!!!), it’s a perfect summer meal or snack. Plus, all the veggies will fill you up to keep you from eating too much other stuff. I suggest making this for parties, [...]
Oven Fried Zucchini, Two Ways
Posted in Sides (For The Low Cal Left Brain), tagged Oven, Squash, Vegetable, Zucchini on August 12, 2009 | 1 Comment »
So, this is a rough week. One of the production guys from the office is on vacation. Therefore, I’m stuck running not only morning and afternoon shifts, but the night shift as well. My inability to engage in any social activities after work led to a promise to myself to only cook things for dinner, during the [...]
Sauteed Broccolini
Posted in Sides (For The Low Cal Left Brain), tagged Broccolini, Vegetable on August 9, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
I bought broccolini. I’m not really sure why, since I have no idea how to cook with it, no idea what it tastes like, and no idea what to do with it. But, alas, I bought it. Yup, there it is. A mix between broccoli and Chinese kale. Still had no idea what to do [...]
Simple Summer Squash
Posted in Sides (For The Low Cal Left Brain), tagged Squash, Vegetable on July 22, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
I was rushing around Saturday night before leaving to go out with a few of my favorite boys when I realized I had absolutely nothing in the apartment to eat. Per Justin’s suggestion, since it seemed like a brunch sorta day, I decided to make the only two eggs Rico and I had left in [...]
Spaghetti Squash Extravaganza Take Two!
Posted in Main Dishes (For The Low Cal Left Brain), tagged Squash, Vegetable on July 7, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
So the sun decided to finally show up near the end of last week and Rico and I grabbed the opportunity to make something light and herby for Spring–nice and cliche. I was too lazy to defrost the chicken in the freezer and felt sorta bad making another protein without doing so first, so I [...]
Mashed Cauliflower
Posted in Sides (For The Low Cal Left Brain), tagged Cauliflower, Vegetable on June 26, 2009 | 2 Comments »
Rico was out late the other night (party time!), so I had my friend, Joanna, over for a thrilling night of dinner and Pilates DVDs. After we sufficiently embarrassed ourselves by no longer having the energy to complete a simple DVD which we were doing on advanced 6 months ago, we needed a reward. Every [...]
