I’d venture to guess that this is the whole thing. Can you live peacefully with your choices? ‘Binging’ in clinical terms is usually defined by a reasonably intense caloric intake in a short period of time, but (maybe more importantly) also usually accompanied by shame, secrecy, and a characteristic ‘loss of control.’…

Yesssssss!! Jealous of your beautiful eggplant. I’m still trying to find ones that don’t suck so I can do Tom’s curried shrimp stuffed eggplant. They have been weird and leathery at my markets lately. And Brussels on a tree!! Produce meets decor!!

Thank you!! I find kitchen time (and foraging in the world for ingredients) really therapeutic.

Third-sies. This winter was my first experience with roasted radish. So in love. I like them in garlic/lemon/OO/S/P.

Spaghetti squash with green curry cream sauce, roasted kabocha, salmon, herbs, avocado Curry sauce is sautéed leek and onion, some puréed cauli-coconut-cashew cream sauce base (leftover, also has white miso, nooch), added more coconut milk, some fish sauce, green curry paste. Stirred in fresh shelled green peas, chopped…

Farmers market score.

Why you think I stalk you? ;) I haven’t had okra since I was 5, in gumbo in the bayou. Gotta admit I was skeptical in theory, but you’ve never steered me wrong. This was no exception. Okra is now on the list of foods I find acceptable to keep in freezer :)

Roasted Okra (425, oiled sheet pan, TJs everyday seasoning- thanks, Tom!) with salad (fennel, pear, spinach, pinenuts), with chickpea faux hummus dip (chickpeas, lemon, pine nuts, spices.)

Except that chick has amazing eyebrows. Thank you, tho, she’s beautiful!

Girrl, your quads! Nicely done :)

Thank you!!!! Especially love that it uses the cauliflower parts so brilliantly. I’ve discovered that my produce scraps make terrible veg stock (wrong combo of things) but I’m getting better at turning green stuff and stems into chimichurri type slurries.

Are you saying there’s a better method to coconut-opening than putting them in a ziplock, rubber banding the bag shut, and throwing it repeatedly against the brick patio? That’s the method I settled on. It seems waaaay more satisfying than watching a YouTube video. Rules schmules, My original intention was just hoping to…

Can you post rough recipe? Just list of ingredients is beyond awesome, I can improv. Types of veg - purple carrots, cauli..? Massaman curry or? This looks like it needs to be dinner tomorrow post farmers market.

Do! I will feed you ALL the colorful things! These came out amazing. I couldn’t help myself and added (almost a full tub) of fresh baby spinach, tossed in tahini dressing (whipped tahini with water to thicken, then sumac, TJs everyday seasoning, lemon zest - I love how far a bit of whipped tahini goes.. decent bang for the…

To be roasted with chickpeas, served over shaved fennel slaw :)

I’d banished my steamer to the garage and forgotten about it... whipped it back out and have done some fun steamed-leaf-wrapped meals. Maybe there will be banana leafs on the island, we can make steamed packets of fish...

Not cheating. This is DIY-fantasy fantasy island. And same... but if we could get someone to build a solar oven then I’ll take a NSF 1/2 sheet pan or three (rimmed cookie sheets in a pinch.) I’ve given lusty eyes to those Big Green Eggs... on the backyard bucket list...

Google says it will take me 34 days to walk to you. I’d walk for this. Smoked meatzzzzzzzz

I’ll milk the goat (childhood skill that has yet to come in handy) but somebody else has gotta pull the chickens out of the trees.

Damn girl, rock the heck on. You are living proof that a vital, strong, nourished body RADIATES beauty. Moms can say some super lame stuff and mean well. Accept the intention (she wants you to feel loved and supported and to see you happy in your life) and then define for yourself what that life looks like.

Nah. It's just how I express myself. It's decidedly UNSEXY when I'm obsessing over stuff like vacumes. Or homemade soy milk. Or cat harnesses. I wear myself and everyone around me out. Also, I just like saying balls. I didn't mean it in reference to acrobatics sans clothing, although I do believe, as an athlete, in the…

1. I'm a pain in the *kitten* to coordinate with. I get up early as hell, like to be in bed by 7:30. As it turns out, 4:30 am isn't prime-time for singles. 2. I don't drink, watch TV, or catch most pop-cult references. I'm not on facebook/twitter/insta/snap, and I don't want to hear about what you saw/posted there. 3. I'm…

I'm not. I do best on a 'paleo-ish' gig that sorta verges on 'pegan' (Mark Hyman term, paleo-meets-vegan, meat as a condiment, eationg food that is actual food as opposed to food-like-substances engineered in food labs and involving extracted/isolated elements.) Just me, just my journey. I have a good friend who eats…

You make it I'll eat it. You've not steered me wrong so far. Oh Snap. Dunno how I forgot to pack this... I have been known to travel with my bamboo block because the slidey-aroundy lightweight ones make me feel unsafe. ...and it looks like I need an Oroshi-gane now... M&P has been on my wish list for a bit, I grind a lotta…

@just_Tomek - sumac it is! will do tonight, under the roasted carrot/chickpea thing I'm making. Thank you! @NewLIFEstyle4ME - I'm with you on the baby spinach, so hardcore. I ate maybe 1/2 a large tub, while preparing this. With my hands. Because I'm a heathen, and I live alone so there was no witness. Thanks for giving me…

I got some insanely good advice here: https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/10726679/athlete-knocked-down-by-injuries-advice-on-mindset My recovery period from the initial surgery is projected at 1-2 years for full strength regain/ultra ready state. I had another surgery a week ago. What’s keeping me sane:…

Fully making this tomorrow. Thanks!

Spring has sprung. Plate: Greek yogurt bed, topped with: -sliced citrus -avo -shaved beets and watermelon radish -chopped sweet peas -tahini drizzle -chopped mint and dill -preserved lemon dollops -cilantro-mint-lime slurry Bowl: Roasted cubed kabocha (not so springy) with tahini drizzle, mint, dill

@AnnPT77 Thanks for great descriptions. You paint killer word pics :)

That mushroom mix! Wow. Can you tell me more about this fermented Chile? And hacho miso? I have white, yellow and red... but now it sounds like I need to find hacho :)
