Yoga with Cats

I'm not doing much Food Snobbery blogging lately, but I'm doing lots of yoga with my cats and taking pictures to prove it.  Check it out at www.tumblr.com/blog/yogawithcats  or find me on Instagram at @yogawithcats.  Of course, I can't help but post a few food snobbery pics on there, too.

Billie is the original yogacat, but Bess and Bell and even Hannah Dog join in, too.

I killed baby garlic

I don't usually till my garden beds, but this year my soil was looking a little compacted, so I turned it over with my trusty garden fork. Oops. I killed my baby garlic.

I re-planted some of it, but couldn't resist eating a little to celebrate my first day back in the garden after the longest winter ever. I puréed the baby garlic with olive oil, salt, and a bunch of cilantro. I tastes like springtime in heaven.

French Toast Factory

When life gives you a free loaf of pain de mie, you make a full loaf's worth of French toast for the week!! Freeze it on a cooling rack, then seal away until you pop it in the toaster oven and smother it in maple syrup.

Snack Packs

These snack packs are a lifesaver on busy mornings. It just takes a few minutes to make a bunch of these, and I mix and match flavors so I don't get bored with them during the week. I just pair up any dried fruit, nuts, seeds, sturdy cereal (like shredded wheat), or snacky foods (like wasabi peas or rice crackers). I label them so that everyone can choose their flavors.

This keeps us from buying quite so many packaged snacks, which can get so expensive!
