Archive for January, 2007. I found this recipe in one of my old issues of Cooking Light.

Olive oil cooking spray. Kosher salt and pepper. Cook tortellini according to package directions. Serve with freshly shaved parmigianno reggiano. January 9, 2007 at 11:37 pm.

Archive for May, 2007. Diary Entry Number 4,713. This morning I fell in the bathroom tub, and now my elbows and knees are bruised. (I suppose I should be quite thankful I didn’t smash my head.). My workout schedule is … M/W/F: cardio (lately I’m hooked on this cardio core workout with Petra Kolber. I’m off to bed, or at least try to doze off. May 25, 2007 at 7:36 am. Wow That was kinda painful. Lesson learned. Wait MORE than 20 minutes after eating before doing any sort of exercise. One of our members on...

Archive for May, 2006. Penne with Sun-Dried Tomato Pesto. This is probably one of my favorite recipes. I love pesto because it’s so easy to make; the sun-dried tomato in this recipe makes it absolutely divine. The recipe comes from Giada De Laurentiis’. Cookbook (as well as on Food Network. I would advise using good parmigiano reggiano that you grate yourself. Once you use the real stuff, there’s no going back to those tubs of parmesan at the grocery store. 12 ounces penne pasta.

Archive for March, 2007. I’ve been dying to make this ever since I saw Sara Snow make this on her show ( Get Fresh with Sara Snow. On Discovery Health). It looks real simple, but what I’m really looking forward to is just how hearty and healthy it is. It’s not even 5pm right now, but I think I’ll head off to the kitchen and start dinner early tonight. 1/2 pound tofu firm, drained and mashed (or use meatless soy crumbles). 1 jar organic spaghetti sauce. 1 can stewed, chopped tomatoes.

Archive for June, 2006. Spaghettini con Carciofi, Menta e Aglio. If I were to pick a single favorite type of food, and if chocolate isn’t an option, then I would be pretty content if I ate Italian dishes every day. I’m always on the hunt for new recipes, because frankly, as lovely as it is, pesto gets pretty tiring if you make it each week. I’m also a sucker for celebrity chefs, and Mario Batali. Is one of my heroes. I picked up Molto Italiano. Spagettini con Carfciofi, Menta e Aglio. Place the olive oil...

Archive for December, 2006. I made this zucchini side dish last night for some friends I had over for dinner. The basic recipe was taken from Giada DeLaurentiis’ Everyday Italian. The only variation I made were the types of cheese I used). One pound of zucchini. 2/3 cup heavy cream. 2/3 cup freshly grated fontina cheese. 2/3 cup shredded cheese (I used a four-cheese blend with mozzarella and more fontina). 2/3 cup freshly grated parmigiano reggiano. 2/3 cup plain bread crumbs. Extra virgin olive oil.

August 10, 2007 at 8:45 am. Here’s a recipe from The Cake Mix Doctor. Which I think is one of those books no wanna-be baker should be without) that I like to use. I love the versatility–use any sort of candy you have about the house! Er, obviously, use only candy that’s actually still good to eat, and not a bar you might find under the couch.). 1 package plain yellow cake mix. 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar. 8 tablespoons of butter, melted (I use salted).

No Cupcakes | the cupcake diaries
https://cupcakediaries.wordpress.com/2007/05/21/no-cupcakes
May 21, 2007 at 6:29 am. Sadly, I wasn’t able to make cupcakes this weekend. Farmers’ market, bookstore, groceries, and some much-needed down time. The down time didn’t even last too long since I thought it would be “fun” to give NS a face lift and move the entire thing to our main hosts. Wow That was kinda painful. Needless to say, soon I found myself crumpled in a pathetic heap on the bathroom floor, trying to control my breathing and to not throw up. Entry filed under: fitness. Diary Entry Number 4,713.

Starting Over | the cupcake diaries

May 16, 2007 at 5:11 am. Usually, when people move blogs, it’s to their own hosted sites. Here I’m doing the opposite. I’m going to be closing down the original cupcake diaries. And moving into WordPress.com. I think in my efforts to simplify my life and reduce clutter, I’m also reducing the number of sites and domains I play with. It’s about finding balance.
