Winter has been half-hearted this year, with mild temperatures that I won’t come close to complaining about. Instead of playing outside in snow suits and galoshes, we’ve been in jeans and barefeet. But it doesn’t stop us from coming in looking for soup to curl up with. Here are some amazing looking soups that I’m [...]
For those of you who have followed along since the beginning of this blog, through my pregnancy and first year with MoxiLady, you know that meal planning is a challenge for me. I don’t enjoy it, and often the meal plans come late or not at all as I stall to organize my thoughts and [...]
Since I’ve had such great success with Bob’s Red Mill’s pancake mix and Namaste’s Pancake and Waffle Mix, I thought I was on a roll when I grabbed the All Purpose Gluten Free Baking Mix, also from good ol’ Bob. The bag says 1:1 replacement for regular flour in any recipe, so I took that [...]
Just about every year, we go to my inlaws for Thanksgiving. Usually, we have very little to do with the menu, but this year it will be more “potluck” style. We are bringing the sides, which is exciting and terrifying all at once. On one hand, it gives us the freedom to make sides that [...]
Squash is not one of Hubby’s favorites, so everytime I break out a new squash recipe, he cringes. Incidentally, some of his favorite recipes to date have included squash. Go figure. This one included Kabocha (I have also seen it as Kabucha) squash, just like the tempeh squash bake. Again, the draw is supposed to [...]
Oh, I wish I could have gotten the colors right for this picture. It was so bright a rich and beautiful! This side had been left for the bottom of the barrel. To be perfectly honest, it sounded like a textural nightmare. Spinach = slime, mushrooms = squeak. That’s in my mind, anyway. After a [...]
More apologies for the dark picture. I had to take it inside at night because it was *that* kind of day. The kind where we weren’t eating dinner until about 7:30 because the day had been that kind of crazy. This is another one I didn’t trust to be good. Or edible. Tempeh isn’t my super [...]
Growing up, New Year’s Eve was always marked with a big pot of black eyed peas. Most of my family said they loved it, but we never had it any other time of the year, so I’m not sure I buy that. As a pastor’s family, most of the time we were at a big [...]
Having steadily worked through this cookbook for well over a year now – maybe even two? – I am finding that what is left is either a) a dessert that I keep waiting to try for “something special” or b) something weird sounding that I’ve never had before and am too wussy to try. Guess [...]
As we slowly get back into routines and habits after vacation (yes, I am aware it has been nearly a month), quick meals are a lifesaver for me. In fact, if it isn’t a quick meal, it’s likely that we’ll be buying a meal instead. With an impending down payment, that just isn’t something we [...]
