(Healthy) Shrimp Fried Rice

I probably didn't really need to put the parentheses in front of the title, but just in case you thought I was changing my focus... Here is the healthiest shrimp fried rice you will ever eat. After two weeks of beans and vegetables (even with very different tastes) and a lot of fried eggs, I …

Spicing Things Up

I’ve spent the past few weeks enjoying meals spiced with garlic, cumin, and cayenne. Delicious, strong flavors that taste good with pretty much everything; I’ve been adding them to eggs, beans, onions, kale, and Brussels sprouts. Last Sunday, I made a big batch of cumin and garlic spiced beans and veggies that I ate for …

Put an Egg on It

For the past two weeks, I have found myself getting home from the gym or work later and later. As much as I would like to cook up some fantastic dinner, I have nowhere near enough time, energy, or creativity left at the end of a long day. In a perfect world, I spend all …

Cauliflower Pizza Crust

Who said pizza had to be unhealthy? This is a recipe I have always wanted to try, but, for obvious reasons, I was a bit skeptical. How would cauliflower ever work in a pizza crust? It’s usually just a crumbly mess. Well, I was pleasantly surprised. It is delicious! Whoever thought of putting cauliflower in …

(Post)-Thanksgiving Thoughts

It’s been a while since my last post about dorm baking. And so much has happened since then, I couldn't pick just one thing to write about for my first post back. Some more exciting news: there is an official, Will Run for Food email account! Email me at willrunforfood14@gmail.com. On the exercise front, I …

Salad Secrets

As promised, here are some of my favorite salad combinations for lunch. All it really takes is some lettuce (although arugula or kale are much more exciting), an assortment of cut up vegetables, and some roasted vegetables. While living at home, I often just make a refrigerator leftover salad. In other words, anything and everything …

Recipe Exchange

So I actually did take a break from baking this week… it was a long weekend so I gave myself a baking holiday as well. I’m using this week to write about salads, working out, and recipe ideas instead! You can be prepared for an extra delicious recipe once you have a healthy week. But …

Butternut Squash and Fig Marinated Kale Salad

Before I post this week’s baking treat, I decided that maybe I should start with a nice, clean, healthy salad recipe. During the week, I have almost no time to cook—I don’t do much besides chop up whatever vegetables are in the fridge to throw together a salad and then make some sort of overnight …

Surprise Party

On Tuesday, I woke up and decided I wanted to have a party. Not really a big party, and not for any particular reason, but I felt like cooking something fun and having a nice dinner. I didn’t even invite anyone to the party except for my family (who I would have been eating dinner …

Food of the Week: Avocados

As promised, here is this week’s food: avocados. As it just so happens, another one of my favorite party recipes (besides watermelon feta salad) involves avocados. I was planning on posting the recipe soon anyways, so this was the perfect opportunity. First of all, is an avocado a fruit or a vegetable? Its green appearance …
