Ed Levine's Serious Diet, Week 87: Do Weights Help You Lose Weight?

if you're not a member of a gym, i'd second the jillian michaels suggestion. you do need to invest in some free weights, but her workouts are GREAT. you WILL be sore the next morning, but think of it as a good thing! if you can get yourself to stick to the 30 day shred routine, good for you - her 'no more trouble zones' dvd is also fantastic. i saw a difference in my arms within a matter of weeks. the dvds are usually between $8-10 on amazon. give it a shot.

Cook the Book: 'Gourmet Today'

mine was one my mom gave me when i moved off campus into my first apartment, i think it was called the College Student's Guide to Cooking or something like that. i used it to teach myself how to make scrambled eggs -- seriously, i'd never made them before then. ohhh, how times have changed...

Ed Levine's Serious Diet, Week 84: Do You Ever Scare Yourself Into Eating Less?

good work this week, ed. i seriously do NOT know how you do it. working in SE HQ....i would have no self-control at all. not overeating in the face of deliciousness is a constant struggle for me as well and i have yet to fine the discipline i really need. reading this every week is inspiring for us readers too!

Cook the Book: 'What We Eat When We Eat Alone'

pasta! always good

um, last night the 'don't judge me' meal was Trader Joe's mac n' cheese with cut up hot dogs and broccoli mixed in. it's actually known as a delicacy in the hyper-local region of my apartment.

Honey Bunches of Oats with Almonds: The True Champion of Breakfast Cereals?

SO glad others share my passion for HBofO! I have long said it's the greatest cereal ever...so delicious. The 'Just Bunches' version is also great for yogurt. Cuts out those pesky flakes and gives you the real deal :)

Cook the Book: '100 Best Vegetarian Recipes'

Oh easy, falafel OR bagels with cream cheese, which also happen to be my two favorite foods on the face of the earth. I don't eat a lot of meat in general, so I'd looove the book!

Cook the Book: 'Canal House Cooking, Vol. 1'

a new favorite i picked up on smitten kitchen: bell peppers, red onion marinated in red wine vinegar, feta cheese, grape tomatoes, zucchini. topped with the vinegar the onion was marinated in and olive oil. i've been making this every week!

also, a simple fresh tomato with balsamic never gets old.

Served: The Ballsy Waitress

completely agree with happyscrappy - if money's tight, that's fine. but then you do not go out to eat! if you're going to a restaurant with waiter service, and that service is up to your standards, you should be tipping around 20%. period. recession or no recession, you didn't HAVE to go to a restaurant.

Cast Iron help

i usually just rinse with water, then throw in a healthy amount of coarse kosher salt and rub that around. it actually does a great job! then wipe it down with a little more water and put it away. every once in a while i do the oil and oven method as well.

You live where?

grew up in Silver Spring, MD, went to school in Boston, and have been bouncing around between Boston, LA and New York over the last 2 years. Made my home in Brooklyn but recently moved back home to Silver Spring for a job in DC. Hoping to move into the city soon enough, but am seriously missing the NYC life....

Ed Levine's Serious Diet, Week 59: How Much Should I Weigh?

it's a good question. i'm 23 yo woman, a hair over 5 feet, and i weigh about 134. That's about 20 pounds from what I weighed three years ago, and I'm hoping to maintain. But most literature says a woman of my height should weigh more like 115-125. But I feel good, I bike, I run (half marathons!), I walk...would I look a little more shapely at 10 pounds less, probably, it'd be kinda nice to be even lighter, but do I HAVE to be? Am I still considered healthy? I think so.

Arepa Crawl in Williamsburg

caracas is probably my favorite latin restaurant in new york. i'm pretty sure i've tried everything on the menu at this point! and the sauce is INCREDIBLE. i've actually left the brooklyn location with two bottles (shhh. but i tipped generously!!)

and seriously i don't know what's up with LA being completely without arepas. to get my fix when i was living there i found a great joint in valley somewhere but it has since closed. poor west coasters!
