take 2 on low carb tortillas
After accepting these weren’t going to taste like fresh tortillas from central market, the La Tortilla Factory low carb tortillas grew on me…
Throw on some honey mustard, spinach leaves, ham, wrap it up, and you’ve got yourself a snack with greens, protein, fiber up the wall, all under 100 calories.
I still think they’re kind of [...]

sun-dried tomatoes!
Current novelty item: sun-dried tomatoes.
I watched Alton Brown recommend these in his pasta episode, they came in the Evelyn’s Favorite Pasta dish at the Cheesecake Factory (thats TWO pasta dishes that aren’t smothered in cream sauce!!!), and they were layered in Patrick’s chicken & eggplant sandwich at Foodheads (which I highly recommend in case I [...]

low carb tortillas
I’ve read quite a few articles/blogs raving about the La Tortilla Factory low carb tortillas and finally decided to shell out the 4 dollars for a pack (10). The nutrition is absurdly great: 50 calories per tortilla, 8 grams of fiber! Eight grams is ridiculously high. Ok… but these 8 grams of fiber plus whatever [...]

gardenburger varieties
A trip to Costco landed me a box of Gardenburgers. I started eating veggie patties because I never really liked hamburgers. I started ordering turkey burgers at restaurants but couldn’t find them in any frozen form at HEB, so I settled for veggie ones instead. I started with Boca burgers but after a while [...]

dallas
Alright, out of the entire city of Dallas, this is what I’ve decided to write about. I’ve been to Dallas a few times to visit my friend at SMU, but this was the first time I’ve seen the city for what it was, rather than being protected and under the guidance of Laura. And I [...]

carb binge
I made the mistake today of eating no substantial carbs at lunch or dinner. I had cereal in the morning but then only had a Kashi granola bar and half of a Pumpkin Spice Clif bar all day. I had plenty of fruits, but I don’t count them as real carbs. So inevitably after [...]

myoplex carb control
I’m usually pretty skeptical about protein bars, due to a bad experience with a Clif Body Builder’s bar. But I couldn’t resist the idea of 25 grams of protein in single bar! Note: This may not be impressive for those of you who regularly pump iron, but for my 5′2 frame, 25 grams is a [...]

capers!
I used to think these weird green balls were kind of gross, but I’ve grown to appreciate the salty and sour buds quite a bit now that my palate has matured (or at least I think my palate has matured some).
I only recently learned what capers really are- immature buds from a bush native to [...]

I’ve had a container of these dark chocolate covered almonds for over a month now, only because I keep them at Patrick’s apartment, otherwise they’d probably be long gone by now. The picture serves a two-fold purpose: to give you an idea of how large each piece is, and also to show off my lovely [...]

cinnamon sugar puff cupcakes
School started today but I don’t have class Mondays (or Fridays, for that matter), so the first day of class starts tomorrow-ish. Later today, if you wish to be accurate. I bake therapeutically, so I thought what better way to start the school year with a relaxing session of cupcake baking from my new book, [...]
