Modern Menu: July 2011
http://modernmenus.blogspot.com/2011_07_01_archive.html
Monday, July 25, 2011. Bulk Buying and Berries. So while grains are the most common bulk foods, what do you do when you have perishables? And how hard is it to preserve fruit, veggies and such? My favorite option is freezing. As we plug on toward the end of berry season here in Northern California, my favorite bits of summer will vanish from the farmer's market. However it is the best time to buy berries in bulk at your local market, or right off of the farm. Blackberries, raspberries can be kept the same.

Modern Menu: Healthy Eating
http://modernmenus.blogspot.com/p/healthy-eating.html
My premise for healthy eating is centered around an idea of "less protein." I don't believe (myself) in cutting meat out of your diet- though I have nothing against anyone who elects to be a vegetarian. My background in anthropology and my quest for frugal living has formed a particular mind-set that you will see in all of my posts. I think that the more diverse the foods in your diet the healthier you're likely to be eating. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). View my complete profile. Image: jbevent-kyoto2014-...

Modern Menu: To Breath New Life into an Old Blog
http://modernmenus.blogspot.com/2012/06/to-breath-new-life-into-old-blog.html
Sunday, June 24, 2012. To Breath New Life into an Old Blog. I haven't posted in awhile, due to.partially.a whole slew of life-reasons. One mild crisis I've had is the realization that cooking is my hobby, not photography. So I am constantly cooking and constantly forgetting to take pictures until the first bite has made it into my mouth. Then the picture is ruined. Step-by-step pics will never be something I can pull off effectively, though I strongly admire the bloggers who can. So in this blog, I think...

Modern Menu: Real Food
http://modernmenus.blogspot.com/2013/04/real-food.html
Wednesday, April 3, 2013. I have recently read "In Defense of Food," by Michael Pollan. I really liked it, of course, though there are some things that I would have asked pesky questions about if I'd acquired the same information in a lecture format. In all, the Real Food movement is mostly in the same direction I've been moving towards. So I would like Modern Menu to chronicle my journey, shifting away from packaged foods and progressing towards a healthy lifestyle- food first. What is the plan? What...

Tuesday, May 31, 2011. Meal Planning for One: Buying Guide. So Meal planning feels like a lot of work when you’re just cooking for one person, right? But it really makes even more sense. How does it feel going home and cooking just-for-you every night? Would you prefer to pop in a microwave-dinner? Or order take out on the way home? You will save both your health and wallet by meal planning. However, you don’t want to over buy for just one person. So how do you know what’s enough? 4) Strategize leftovers...
