The BLC: Bacon, Lettuce, and Cucumber Bagel

August 24, 2015 Cristina

When I was growing up I read a lot of The Babysitters Club. My sister and I would devour them. I think we must have owned... well... probably all of them. And all their spin-offs. The first 300 page book I ever read was a Babysitters Club Mystery, and was I ever proud of that!…Read More

Baked Peaches with Ice Cream and Salted Caramel

August 20, 2015 Cristina

Sooo I did it again. I took it too far. I’m not sorry. It started with a picture of a barbecued peach, juicy and glistening in the sun, dark lines from the grill burned across its surface. And I thought… what if I put ice cream on it? It all went downhill from there. (more…)Read More

Raspberry and Feta Cheese Summer Salad

August 17, 2015 Cristina

I’ve really been digging fruit-based salads this summer. I’m not normally a ‘salad person’ as much as I try to be, but the fruit we’ve been getting has been absolutely spectacular. Case in point: Strawberry Spinach Salad. These raspberries HAD to be the star in something! And the cheese… well, the cheese had to have a…Read More

Blueberry Banana Smoothie Bowl

August 13, 2015 Cristina

***Since posting this recipe, it has come to my attention that blueberries contain solanine, which is one of the glykoalkaloids responsible for nightshade allergies. If you are on a nightshade free diet, please proceed with caution unless you are certain that blueberries are okay for you! You can find more information here.*** Mornings are hard. There’s no…Read More

Easy Lemon Garlic Chicken Marinade

July 27, 2015 Cristina

Since arriving in New York I’ve had to think about food and groceries differently. Instead of just ‘what do I need?’ and ‘how much will it cost?’, a third variable enters the equation: ‘how much can I carry?’ It’s been easy to just drive my car to the store, load up the back with whatever…Read More

Tidepool Jello Cups

July 22, 2015 Cristina

Okay, so sometimes I go a little mad scientist in the kitchen. I get an idea in my head, and gosh darn it all, I'm going to try it and try it until it works. I was partly inspired by these adorable Gone Fishing Cupcakes on Three Kids and a Fish, and I really wanted to…Read More

East Coast Garlic Fingers with Donair Sauce

July 20, 2015 Cristina

Ah pizza... is there anything more perfect? A slightly crispy crust, thick or thin, covered in a spicy tomato sauce and smothered with melted mozzarella... that is the stuff of dreams. The variations are endless: cauliflower crusts, cheesy layered deep dish, drooping thin crust, rounds of spicy pepperoni, tartly sweet barbecue sauce, roasted chicken, black…Read More

Strawberry Spinach Salad

July 13, 2015 Cristina

Best part about nomad life? The second strawberry season is here!!! BEST. YEAR. EVER. Our first strawberry season in Louisiana was wonderful, but can I say there ain’t no strawberries like home strawberries? (‘cause the strawberry party don’t stop.) Nova Scotia strawberry season is upon us. And I seriously can’t stop eating them. I may…Read More

How To Cook Spaghetti Squash in the Crockpot

July 10, 2015 Cristina

Where would I be without my Crockpot? The crossroads between Sad-ville and Hungry-town, that's where! Mr. Nomato and I are trying to eat healthier, and part of that is cutting down the carbs, and the calories. Spaghetti squash is a fantastic alternative to regular spaghetti, with only a fraction of the carbs. Now, I know…Read More

Whole Wheat Pretzel Rolls

June 15, 2015 Cristina

Let me be very clear: whole wheat is my nemesis. Now, I have nothing against whole wheat made by other people. In fact, I prefer it because it’s so much healthier. But when it comes to my own baking, it leaves me completely stumped because it’s so dense. I just cannot, CANNOT make it work,…Read More
