I tried rutabaga for the first time recently. I was smitten with it. Cruciferous vegetables have now taken a place in my heart–a rightful place. I’ve been so biased against them for so long. To accompany Swedish Meatballs, I made this Rutabaga Puree. It’s silky and smooth. And rich. I did have to sample it, […]
How To: Making Authentic Swedish Meatballs
I originally published this four years ago. (!) And it remains one of the most popular posts on this site. Also, it’s still one of my family’s favorite recipes. I still make the meatballs the same way. The kids eat them as fast I put them on their plates. Love all around. I’ve kept the […]
Oven Baked Potato Chips with Kale-Lemon Pesto for The Super Bowl

The leafy greens are being used and not going to waste as I forget they are in my fridge…does that ever happen to […]
Quinoa Salad Soft Tacos (Vegan and Gluten-Free)
I love the beginning of a New Year. Hello, 2012. I hope you’re good to us. This year I have made a few goals. The first one being: Simplify. And that means I’ve shortened my list to just a few goals instead of a laundry list. Simplicity is something I’ve been craving. In my home, […]
