true story. seriously. there are some weird dress codes going on around here. i had to suppress my urge to whip out my camera and document the shenanigans walking in front of me.
i did bring out my camera around dinner time (taking a picture of food in your apartment is so much less creepy than taking one of some bozo trudging down the quarter mile)
sensing a trend in the dinner picks this week? if you guessed sweet potatoes and asparagus, you're right!
in case you're just dying for dinner ideas try:
roasted asparagus (with lemon juice, olive oil, salt, pepper, basil)
broccoli
provolone cheese
whole wheat pasta
cauliflower
(and leftover sweet potato mound on the side)
cook the asparagus like you would normally except instead of eating it whole, cut it up and throw it into the pasta. (obviously when i'm cooking for one person i don't even use half a box of pasta which means that there is plenty leftover for many other experiments.) while you're cooking the pasta put the broccoli & cauliflower in 3 minutes before it's done. drain accordingly. then throw it all back in the pot & add cheese and a little extra lemon juice :) good, healthy & there are leftovers for another 2 meals. what good planning.

good, stylish and healthy eats--and not a lot of fuss and muss. i think you have a bona fide food blog going here. how do you find the whole wheat pasta? any difference in cooking time, texture, or taste?
Dear Julia-
Loving the food blog.
One suggestion: Silpat mats for your baking trays. It cuts your cleanup time in half!! Maybe if you took donations on your blog your 'fans' would buy you one? Or you could just buy more asparagus and sweet potatoes! =)
Great food blog. Consider writing a cookbook with
great pictures/graphics.........this could be done in
your "spare" time. I'm not certain what Silpat mats
are - I use foil which is not the best idea. Would
parchment paper work? Love you.
