Before I begin babbling about my love of eggplant, I want to congratulate Emmie and Chris! They will both be receiving their own set of Clearly Fresh Produce Storage Bags!
Now, on to the eggplant.
I love eggplant. I mean, I really love eggplant. I especially love cheap eggplant, which I happened ...

Still without an actual kitchen, I've found some interesting ways to "cook" without actually cooking. Wraps and sandwiches have pretty much been my staple for the past few days.
This one would make a great packed lunch or light dinner. It's simple enough that I'm a little embarrassed to call it ...
Meatless Monday: Balsamic Bijou Wrap
Published Monday, June 27, 2011 By Mekkie. Under Recipes, Weight Watchers Core-Friendly Tags: dinners, food, fruit, healthy, meatless monday, quick, sandwiches, vegetarian
Remember those 18 ounces of free goat cheese I talked about yesterday? Turns out even I can get sick of goat cheese off a spoon. But that's just a perfect reason to create something like this. Sweet, tangy, tart and filled with ooey-gooey bijou goat cheese, this takes the idea ...
Portabellas for My Mushroom Friend

Dear Emmie,
How am I supposed to say goodbye to you? How am I supposed to move on?! I doubt I'll ever really be able to. I mean, what am I supposed to do? Never eat a mushroom again? Never drink out of my only remaining coffee cup? Never go for ...
A Veggie Sandwich to Make Hardcore Carnivores Convert

When I first became a vegetarian (way back before it was cool), I had a really hard time finding animal-friendly lunches (especially sandwiches). Dinner was easy because I could cook anything I wanted. But, lunch...lunch had to packable and, preferably, not something that needed to be served hot. (I was ...

All philosophical musings and deep words have been pried out of me by this miserable excuse of a day. So, in an effort to keep this blog from becoming a complete vehicle for my pointless rants, I'm going to try to avoid saying too much. I think I've already said ...

It's been so long since I've written. I wish I could say it's because I haven't felt much like cooking; because I haven't been able to find the words; because I'm lost in other (more fascinating) endeavors. If only that were the case.
If only...
I actually made this loaf awhile ago ...
A REAL Veggie Wrap
Published Wednesday, March 24, 2010 By Mekkie. Under Recipes, Weight Watchers Core-Friendly Tags: food, healthy, quick, sandwiches, vegan, vegetarian
I don't know what's wrong with me. I really don't. I wish I did, but I don't. Because, if I did, I wouldn't be here, in my apartment, writing a blog entry when I'm supposed to be in class. Did I go to class? Obviously, I didn't.
Now the real question, ...

Another Sandwich Featuring “Grass”
Published Saturday, April 25, 2009 By Mekkie. Under Recipes Tags: food, healthy, sandwiches, vegan, vegetarian
Since I just recently started to get used to the 8-11 hour days (as opposed to the 3 hour days of classes that I didn't go to half the time), I decided it might be a good idea to take a sandwich to work instead of the endless slew of ...
