Zucchini Bread: A Tastier Way to Eat Your Veggies
by Holly Jahangiri on Feb 4th, 2010
I am updating the posting date on this - not age-regressing my son! Dennis Edell and I were wondering if that would be an effective way of bringing older, lesser-known posts back to the forefront, and whether they would be picked up by the nightly RSS feed, or roundly ignored all over again. So I hand-picked this one, because it's a fantastic recipe, a great way to encourage kids to eat more veggies, and a fun video (you parents might want...Read More » Tags

So, Jan…
by Holly Jahangiri on Jan 10th, 2010
Back in October 2009, I found out what prompted my friend Jan Geronimo to start a blog. And I issued a challenge. Jan took me up on it... And we both promptly and politely refrained from asking each other how we were doing on that challenge. Until now, the answer on both sides of the Pacific has been "dismally." But I kicked myself in the butt (an aerobic exercise and a neat trick of balance) and got serious - right after finishing the midnight c...Read More » Tags

Farm Fresh Eggs, Tomatoes & Crimini Mushrooms
by Holly Jahangiri on Apr 13th, 2009
This was tonight's dinner. Tasty and nutritious! It was 9 PM before we got home from Boy Scouts and grocery shopping, and I was so tempted to take one of the easy routes: McDonald's drive-thru, or Lean Cuisine. But to confirm and celebrate my rediscovered commitment, I decided to cook. Ingredients 1 tsp. extra virgin olive oil 5-6 crimini mushrooms 1 campa...Read More » Tags

What to Do When Your Personal Trainer Thinks You've Died

It's not rocket science; I'm not stupid; and excuses are just that - excuses. Commit to and trust the process. The following quote (and copious amounts of raw jalapeno peppers) helped me to quit smoking, and I doubt they'll fail me now: "Until one is committed, there is hesitancy, the chan...Read More » Tags
