delicious seasonal eats
When I was growing up, we had this step-by-step cookbook that I loved to look at. By the time I was 8 or 9 years old, I was teaching myself how to cook. I was an avid reader anyway, and cookbooks were as intriguing to me as The Baby-Sitters Club series. I devoured both as […]
Fajitas have long been a favorite dinner of mine. My mom used to make them several times a year when I was growing up and we always looked forward to Fajita Night. There’s just something wonderful about the sizzling hot filling rolled into a soft tortilla with an array of favorite toppings. It had been […]
October is my favorite month. I know I’m not alone in that sentiment – what’s not to love? Gorgeous fall colors, beautiful weather, and a bountiful harvest. It doesn’t get any better! I spent last week in The Bay Area (more on that later!) and really enjoyed experiencing a week of California-style October weather and […]

I’m joining in with some of my favorite bloggers to share recipes using fruits and veggies that are available in September. The […]
We often discuss in our family (usually during dinner) what constitutes a great dessert. Of course, as expected, my children think dessert means loads of sugar, chocolate, caramel, etc, etc. They don’t believe me when I tell them fruit is the original dessert. I can’t blame them much; I would have balked at the notion […]
A little while ago I confessed that I was in my twenties when I first tried tofu. Hmm. Funny thing. I’m in my thirties and I only just tried tempeh for the first time a few months ago. It’s always interesting to me that my picky eating was deeply rooted in fear. What if it didn’t […]
I think sometimes we get caught up in thinking a recipe has to be complicated to be delicious. And don’t worry, I include myself in that statement.
