delicious seasonal eats
We’ve entered my favorite time of year. Halloween is over. Let the Thanksgiving baking, roasting, cooking begin! Over the next few weeks I’ll be sharing some great recipes to help get you in the mood for the holiday season. I confess I’m boring. I really love roasted veggies. So much, in fact, that I hardly […]
I was excited to receive Black Forest squash in my CSA this week. It’s not one that I have tried, as far as I know. And it’s delicious! Being the same size as a small pumpkin, I thought it would be perfect for stuffing. I made winter squash stuffed with quinoa, kale, and pecans. Are […]
Becky and I are teaming up again. For October, our theme was Soups, Stews, and Chili. Check out her Red Wok Chili. I can’t wait to try it. I’m a girl who likes soup and salad. I like all kinds of soup and all kinds of salad. With Fall arriving, I’ve been excited to start […]
My husband and I have come to an agreement on healthy eating. Well, that’s not entirely true. He and I agree we need to get back to our super healthy eating habits, but we haven’t agreed on how to do it. I say juicing is key. He can barely gag it down. I say vegan. […]
You’ve probably seen the movie, but have you ever made ratatouille? The first time I made it, I had just started my 10 day juice fast and it was very difficult not to eat some. My girls even loved the little cubes of eggplant, zucchini and bell peppers with the fresh tomatoes and loads […]
Every once in awhile you meet a salad and you think, “This is my very favorite.” Then you come across another salad and the same thing happens. Well, friends, this salad is the salad that ended that for me. This is my very, very favorite salad. I’m ready to say my vows and pledge my […]
If you’re been reading for awhile, then you know that I love Thai food. We eat Thai several times a week because most of the family loves it (except my son who only eats the rice), it’s a good way to eat up our veggies, it’s delicious, and the most important reason of all–it’s fast. […]
Here’s a quick veggie stir-fry recipe that came together in around 30 minutes, including my chopping time. It almost doesn’t need a recipe – just stir-fry whatever veggies you have from your garden (or CSA) and use my favorite Orange Miso Vinaigrette as the sauce, serve over hot rice and dinner is served. Garden Veggie Stir-Fry with […]
It used to be that I couldn’t walk away from a grocery store without a few jars of pickles. Our family goes crazy over anything pickled. We’ve attempted other sorts of pickled vegetables (and fruit), but never cucumbers. I don’t know why. I guess I never saw a reason to when our fridge was always […]
Can I confess something? I fell off the wagon. Big time fell off. For the past few weeks (okay, maybe all summer), I’ve been indulging in delicious ice creams made with heavy cream and yes, I’ve even cheated a few times and had gluten-filled treats and bread. I’m ready to kick my bad habits to […]
