1. KIND Bars– Can you believe I am just trying these for the first time this week? They aren’t as chewy as I had expected but still tasty.
2.Chili Sweet Potato Fries Salad– so easy! I started with Alexia sweet potato fries as the base, topped that with veggie chili, then topped that with shredded cabbage, thinly sliced avocado, tahini dressing (tahini, lemon juice, chickpea miso, nutritional yeast and water to thin) and thinly sliced scallions. A ranch dressing would also be good.
3. Wild Mushrooms in this case with soba noodles and asparagus. We found a stand at the market that sells yummy wild mushrooms and I am addicted.
4. Lemon Raspberry Mineral Water– I bought this yesterday when I really wanted coffee and now I may have a new habit. Oh why do we live so close to Whole Foods.
5. Nuttzo– I received this as a sample a few weeks ago and it went as fast. My husband is addicted to it and wants me to buy him a life time supply for his birthday.

Christmas Where Are You?

December 22, 2012 by Lindsay Ingalls 1 Comment

Since we have spent the last month up to our ears with making moving plans and packing we haven’t really been thinking much about Christmas. Today that all changed, we finally are out of moving mode (temporarily anyways) and it’s time to focus on spending the holidays with our family. The movers came and cleaned out our place and now I am sitting at my parents house in the middle of nowhere Vermont in the middle of a snowstorm with the fire roaring and a (lame) Christmas movie on TV.

The best part was a soon as we arrived at my parents house there was a nice big box from Allie and Blue Diamond Almonds Team.

I can’t wait to share all these goodies with my family!

Boy was I surprised to find this extra treat in my box….

I was hoping to be back sooner to write about our new adventure but things are crazy busy around here. We have movers coming Friday or Saturday so we are trying to finish packing up the condo plus Neil is still working and I have recipes to finish up writing for the month and oh yeah there is that annual holiday coming up. Here are a few photos of what’s been going on around here lately (no photos of our mess of a home though):

What’s Been Cooking

I have been a little absent lately because I have been crazy busy at home with something I can’t tell you about yet but will next week. It honestly makes it really hard to blog because I want to share this big thing with you but I can’t for at least another week. I know the suspense is just killing you right?

Well since I can’t share my news I will share some happenings over here at our house that aren’t so top secret.

I don’t know how much I have told you about one of my work-at-home jobs but I have been writing recipes for 360 Cookware for almost a year now. 360 Cookware is manufactured in West Bend, Wisconsin by Americraft Cookware and is ecofriendly! I write about four recipes per month for 360 Cookware and today between naps, feedings and playing I was able to finalize and photograph one!

In other news I am dying to get out of this house. I don’t think I have left the house since um Sunday because E has a cold that I need her to recover from before she gets her blood drawn next week. Boo to being stuck inside but at least I have my kindle, coffee, Netflix and a cute baby to cuddle with.

Five Things: Food Lovin’

October 12, 2012 by Lindsay Ingalls 10 Comments

This week is all about foods that I am loving this week.

Hot Teas | Although I am a coffee lover I have been cutting back to no more than one cup per day. Now that it is fall I crave nice warm beverages to warm me up so I after my cup of coffee I have been turning to teas to warm me up and enjoy throughout the day.

Kale Chips | I am in love with kale chips, but I mean these days who isn’t? I think my craving is in over drive because I have enjoyed so many tasty ones lately and my desire for snacks is over the top right now. I must pick up some kale next week to make my own tasty batch of kale chips. What’s your favorite flavor?

Raw Macaroons | Not only am I craving some nice savory kale chips I am also loving these new tasty macaroons.

Harvest Beers | Okay not really a food but I am loving them right now. Last weekend we had a harvest beer tasting and in a few weeks we are hosting a pumpkin beer tasting. If only I wasn’t breastfeeding I could enjoy more than a few sips. What is your favorite harvest or pumpkin beer?

Soups, Stews & Chilis | As son as the leaves start to change my weekly menu has at least one soup, stew or chili on it. Last week I made a delicious squash-bulgar chili (recipe to come) and this week we had split pea soup. What is your favorite soup, stew or chili recipe?

{Review} Alive & Radiant Kale Chips

October 7, 2012 by Lindsay Ingalls 6 Comments

This week I have been snacking like crazy, probably because we haven’t done any real grocery shopping in a few days and our CSA is starting to die down. My favorite snack of the week has been these Alive & Radiant Kale Krunch (Chips).

Neil and I finished off all three bags within 48 hours of them being in our home and probably would have eaten more if we had them.

I am a lover of kale chips and I love to make my own but I am guilty for buying them every so often when I’m at the market especially now that there is a baby at home and not as much time to cook. Alive & Radiant Kale Krunch (Chips)have to be the best kale chips I have ever tried and I have tried a number of different brands. The packing kept the chips nice and crispy, the stems were all removed (problem I’ve faced with other brands) and they were nicely coated with delicious seasonings.

Alive & Radiant Kale Krunch (Chips) sent me their Kale Krunch Quite Cheezy, Kale Krunch Southwest Ranch, and Kale Krunch Cheezy Chipotle. They also have a Tarragon Dijon, Chokalet Chip, and Spirulina Orange Creamsicle which I am dying to try but I can’t find around here.

I really can’t choose a favorite of the flavors that I tried because they were all so delicious. I know I sound like I am just talking them up because I was sent a free sample but honestly I love these and actually purchased all three flavors from our local market back in August so I have tried them before and would be raving like a lunatic even if they hadn’t sent me them to try. Get out to your local health food store and pick yourself up a bag right now; I promise you won’t be disappointed

What are your favorite kale chips? Have you tried these Kale Krunch chips? If yes what is your favorite flavor and who wants to send me some tarragon dijon? I’ll swap you something else!!
