TASTE: SMOOTHIES

Kerrilynn — Sat, 12 May 2012 17:21:10 +0000

I’ve been making a lot of these lately. It’s the perfect breakfast: simple, nutritious, filling and tastes like summer.

FRUIT & GREENS SMOOTHIE (for 2)

Bag of mixed frozen fruit (around 10 ozs.)
Sambazon Acai Smoothie packet
1/4 cup pecans
1 T Coconut Manna
1 T Maca Powder
4 pitted Medjool dates
5 leaves kale (swiss chard, spinach or any other green will work here)
2 cups almond milk (you can use hemp, rice or soy but I prefer homemade almond)

Add all to your blender (hopefully you’re lucky like me and have a VitaMix, I love that appliance so much it’s kind of absurd.) Turn on high for about 30 seconds. Enjoy!

LISTEN: WEEKEND

If I were choosing the music for the Fifty Shades of Grey movie, I’d definitely throw this one in the mix. And, yes I’m reading the trilogy, (embarrassed to admit it but it’s true). Missed my subway stop a couple times because I was engrossed. It’s so bad but so good.

LISTEN: ROBYN

CAN. NOT. STOP. LISTENING. TO. THIS.
You should too.

TOUCH: GET A DOG ALREADY

Need I say more?

TOUCH: PURL

I worked with Joelle and Page years ago at Martha Stewart and always adored both of them. They had style in spades, were amazing at crafting and were funny to boot. They have since opened the best knitting (and all sorts of other crafts) store to hit the island of Manhattan, Purl. It’s a place I love stopping by when I’m in Soho and am itching for a project to keep my hands busy. I popped in today and found the most gorgeous baby blanket inspired by the Hudson Bay Blankets (I have a couple people that I’d like to gift these to), some needlepoint canvases that could keep me going through the summer, and some sock projects that I’d like to wrap my head around (socks are still totally overwhelming to me). When you’re in the neighborhood, you should definitely stop by and get inspired, there’s lots to take in and always someone sure to help.

TASTE: MORE FOOD LOVE

Kerrilynn — Fri, 13 Apr 2012 22:19:49 +0000

Just happened upon this site, A Year in Food, (how did I not know about this?!) and I want to hole up all weekend and cook from it. Love stumbling upon all the little gems on the internets.

Have a great weekend all!

LISTEN: YOU CAN DANCE & GOGOL

Kerrilynn — Wed, 11 Apr 2012 15:05:22 +0000

Dance till you’re blue in the face with this one:

And relax till you fall asleep with this one:

Both by Gonzales, a complete musical genius in my opinion.

TASTE: A.P.C. KNOWS HOW TO LIVE

Kerrilynn — Fri, 06 Apr 2012 19:58:33 +0000

I’m not normally the biggest Francophile but this video from Bon Appetit (are you loving the new BA as much as I am?!) made my heart pitter patter. Now all I can think about are upstate summers, cooking with friends, kids in donkey costumes (I personally always wore a gorilla costume as a child) and swimming.

This Persian Rice will be on our table at some point next week, but I’ll substitute cashew cream for the yogurt. Delicious!

Beautiful pictures from Julian Broad and Bon Appetit

LISTEN: GIRLY WEDNESDAY

Kerrilynn — Wed, 04 Apr 2012 17:31:10 +0000

It’s getting really girly over here today:

What girl didn’t want to be Hope Sandoval in the 90′s? I’m realizing that a whole lot of these listen posts are taking us on a journey to the 90′s. I’m good with that, are you?

And a newer version of kind of the same thing:

What are you all listening to these days for the arrival of Spring? I’d love to hear your favorites. xoxo

TASTE: MY NEW ROOTS “BEST LENTIL SALAD EVER”. THIS IS NOT AN EXAGGERATION.

Kerrilynn — Fri, 30 Mar 2012 16:56:56 +0000

I agree: this is the best lentil salad EVER. I ate it every day for lunch this past week and am sad to see the container nearing empty. Once again, thanks to Cindy, I have another fantastic recipe to add to my recipe binder (just started my binder project and it’s bringing me massive amounts of happiness – my Virgo is yelling “hallejulah!”).

Add this salad to your lunch rotation next week, I am absolutely sure you’ll love it and feel great after every meal.

BTW, this is another great food blog, My New Roots. I have another food lady to crush out on!
