Pizza with Caramelized Onions, Mushrooms, Sausage and Fresh Arugula
So I finished a juice fast last week. Ten days. High-five internet friends! Do you know what I craved when I was juicing? Not pizza. I craved curry. Lots of spicy curry. And anything with salsa on top. When I started eating solid food again, I craved juice. Crazy, right? My husband was a little […]
Radishes with Vegan Coconut Butter
So…the original recipe for the Vegan Coconut Butter is titled “coconut margarine.” I don’t want to call it that because the word conjures up bad images of the toast of my childhood. This ain’t even close to margarine. It melts on your tongue–just like dairy butter, only with an ever-so-slight coconut flavor. I can’t remember […]
Tiny Toes and Tiny Kitchen Memories.
This is one of my very favorite pictures. I took it when my oldest was not even two years old. The sun was streaming through the window into the kitchen of our 2nd floor apartment in the NYC suburbs. She was enjoying breakfast, if I remember correctly. Probably oatmeal with blueberries. The crazy chair is […]
Pan Roasted Green Beans with Roasted Red Pepper Sauce
Are you loving Spring in your area? I feel like I’m enjoying the Spring of all Springs this year. The kind I remember from when I was a little girl. I planted most of my garden a few weeks ago and now I’m waiting patiently for the seedlings to emerge. I planted bush and pole […]
Vegetable Garden at Colonial Williamsburg
Did you miss me last week? I went on a last minute trip to Williamsburg, Virginia and it was soooo much fun. I’ve always wanted to visit Colonial Williamsburg, but we never made it down there when we lived on the East Coast. Candace and I were walking down the street and I saw this […]
White Balsamic Marinated Chicken with Rice Pilaf, and Cauliflower with Raisins
I’ve been wanting to try cauliflower with raisins for awhile. I keep seeing it in magazines and on other food blogs. I really loved the way they tasted together. This was a quick meal to throw together. I marinated the chicken overnight and then tossed it in the oven for a bit. It was incredibly […]
Israeli Couscous Pilaf with Fresh Herbs
Israeli couscous is a family favorite. My hubby doesn’t often like regular couscous, but we discovered he likes this kind much more when we bought a bagged mix from Trader Joe’s a few years back. Here’s a tip–buy this from the bulk food section. It’s much less expensive. This has become a staple side dish, […]
Beef and Root Vegetable Stew with Best Ever Mashed Potatoes
I tend to write a lot about my husband on here. I can’t help it. He’s such a part of the magic that happens in the kitchen. When we started dating, I was just learning how to really cook and appreciate good food. He’d grown up eating foods I’d never heard of or would have […]
Provencal Winter Squash with White Beans
One of my family’s favorite recipes (ever) is one that I made from In The Small Kitchen, a cookbook I reviewed last year–Baked Provencal Chicken. It combines dates, vinegar, herbs, tomatoes and lots of garlic. The sauce is intoxicating. I didn’t want to try it with tofu. It didn’t seem quite right. I had this […]
Butternut Squash Bake with Cranberries and Apples
This Butternut Squash Bake with Cranberries and Apples wants to be the star of your Thanksgiving or holiday table. Loaded with seasonal flavors, it’s sure to be a hit with one and all.
