“What would it take to gain acceptance, to the grounds behind your eyes.” — Conor Oberst “Artifact #1″ Over the past decade, I’ve been able to easily hashtag her as #happy, #sad, #angry, #tired, #exuberant, and so on. She was the USA Today. A swift, easy read. Colorful and pleasant. […]

Food.com promised this was a really (emphasis on the REALLY) tasty vegetarian meatless meatloaf. It was, in reality, only…okay. I halved the meatloaf recipe and even added more tomato sauce then called for (inside and on top toward the end of the baking) but still the lentil and oat-based meatless […]

I like bananas. I love Nutella. I’m always up for a muffin. But I haven’t tasted a crumb of these Banana Nutella Muffins. Why? Because on the morning I made them, I’d just run 5-miles and didn’t want to ‘waste’ the effort. Did I have a spoonful of Nutella with […]
