Being a lacto-ovo vegetarian is the bomb. Why? I’ve got two words for you: “cheese” and “eggs.” A life without one or both is simply not a life worth living. My baby seems to agree with me, as scrambled eggs have recently become his favorite food that isn’t blueberries (kid has a blueberry obsession right […]
Tomatillos are a very special fruit / vegetable (you know, that no man’s land of classification, like the tomato). I think of them as lemony tomatoes, and although they are traditionally used in Mexican cooking, I think they can transcend to any style of cooking were you want that tart little punch. I chose to […]
One word for you folks: Saltimbocca. Sage is one of my favorite herbs, and prosciutto is one of the greatest foods on Earth (I often like to joke, well half-joke, that my favorite three words are: wrapped. in. prosciutto.). It should be no surprise, then, that I am a huge fan of Saltimbocca. There is […]
Each week, fabulous recipes grace Debbie’s in-box and pop up on her computer screen, and she’s sharing her favorites with you. Even though I don’t need to pack Owen a lunch for school, we often go on all-day outings so I like to have more exciting and nutritious fare up my sleeve than just a […]
One of my favorite meats is Steak-umm’s. These are pre-packaged sliced steaks that are thin and quick to cook. You can go straight from the freezer to the frying pan and have dinner in just a few minutes. You can put them on a bun and eat them like a burger, or make Philly cheese […]
I know I really like almost every recipe that I create, and I’m not ashamed to tell you so. But this one — oh, this one! — is something special. Creativity hasn’t been my strong point in the last couple of weeks and I had been feeling a little guilty about not creating many original […]
Whenever I go out in the woods to go hunting, fishing or hiking, I take along my back pack. I have everything I need in my pack to spend a night or two in the woods should something happen. It is a good idea that everyone do this when they venture out into the woods. […]
I really love cabbage. It’s delicious when it’s raw and crunchy, and I love the sweetness it takes on when braised. I love sauerkraut, cole slaw (mayonnaise free, of course) and simply snitching chunks of cabbage when I’m preparing it. Yeah, I’m a little weird. I was looking for a recipe I’d never made before, […]
Commence rant. Alright, I have a bone to pick. There is something that’s been gnawing at me for a while and this past weekend it finally came to a head. I was browsing the internet, looking for appetizer recipes trying to find something that I could bring to a cookout. I kept going back and […]
Pasta. Talk about universal and unifying. Everyone likes pasta, and if they don’t, then you can quickly weed them out from the group of people with whom you should associate, because they are clearly insane. When I moved in with a meat eater, we would make pasta most nights, because it was an easy dish […]
