Sunday night brain food

Really quickly, I just wanted to post some photos from dinner tonight. I decided to cook the collard greens from my Boston Organics delivery last week. I prepared them according to how my mom always did–cut out the stem, then roll them like a cigar and cut them into smaller...

A full-of-food weekend

Enjoying the beautiful weather and heirloom tomatoes at Friday’s farmers market at Copley Square. I confess I didn’t have time to make my recipes this weekend. I was too busy galavanting around town. I legitimately went to three organic-themed markets in the last three days. Friday, I was out and...

Planning out my produce

Enjoying my new organic pears from Boston Organics. I felt like a mother rushing home from work yesterday to pick up my Boston Organics box. But my veggies had to be taken care of before my weekly Tuesday meeting. A girl’s got to have priorities… And it was like Christmas,...

Boston Organics delivers a weekly dose of karma

A Boston Organics fruit and vegetable box. Photo source: BostonOrganics.com No matter how much I want to eat right, sometimes finding the time to purchase food from farmers’ markets (which tend to be far away) can prove inconvenient. Before I moved to Boston, my mom and I did a little...

Organic season in the Northeast typically runs June to October or November, when the farms are producing a surplus of product. And even though we’re approaching the back end of that time, I thought I’d...

I Now Pronounce You (Wo)Man and Life

I’ve hit rock bottom. Somehow in the last week, I’ve managed to upset pretty much every person that matters to me. And the root of all my problems is that I’m working too much. I’ve been averaging a little over 30 hours per week because I’ve been feeling the stress...

A MetrOrganics Primer

The organic trend is on the up-and-up, and for good reason. Organic foods aren’t genetically modified; they lack pesticides and toxins, and are higher in vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. In addition to being healthy for one’s body, they also benefit the environment because fewer toxins are being released into the...

Ladies and Gentlemen, May I Introduce…

Sorry it’s been a while… there’s a lot that’s happened in the past several weeks. I concluded my time in San Diego, I flew home to Boston, I worked (a LOT), I moved into my new apartment… I also managed to shatter the screen on my laptop. And no, I...

Foodie Diaries: The Art of Cooking

I was on Skype last night with my (amazing) boyfriend while simultaneously sautéing mushrooms and drinking a glass of wine. Though I may have looked domestic and all, I’m hardly the type to claim I’m a stellar cook. I have my fall back dishes (enchiladas) and occasionally try a new...
