Stuffed peppers are a gimmick. You fill half a pepper with a meager portion of food, bake it until the outside is piping hot and the inside is questionable (unless you have already cooked the inners, in which case I say- I barely have time to cook once, let alone twice!), oooh and aaah about [...]
Reuben’s are Hubby’s territory. He would frequently get them at sandwich shops. But honestly? The meat looked repulsive. That is that pinkish reddish…stuff, right? Corned beef? I think I have found the one part of my very Irish heritage that didn’t stick. Gross. With that said, I’m not sure I’ve ever actually eaten one. I [...]
My meal plan has been difficult to follow this week. Not because of my crazy apprehensions this time, surprisingly enough, but because the sun has decided to camp out in my backyard and share its heat quite generously. Kind of like the little old lady who wants to share all of her extra soups *just* [...]
Feeding children well can be tricky, especially if you are not used to them and exactly which tricks work. This proved to be a very, very good trick.
On an unpredictable summer morning or even a suddenly dreary winter one, the last thing I want to think about is what lunch will be. Sometimes, what is meal-planned just doesn’t fit the day. You know? You plan soup and get hit with a sudden hot streak, or you plan smoothies and then realize it’s [...]
Word of advice? Don’t blog about food on an empty stomach. It’s as bad as grocery shopping.
If you like tabouli, you will probably really dig this stuff. It’s definitely a summertime dish, with the minty flavor and best-served-coldness. I think, though, that I have a problem with tahini that I need to overcome. It’s just a personal problem and nothing for anyone else to worry about. When I was pregnant with [...]
These burritos were, quite possibly, the best breakfast burritos ever.
I love eggs. I won’t sing the song that you now have in your head (you’re welcome) but they are quite yummy and chock full of nutrients. During the pregnancy with Fuzzy, I was pretty shortsighted on variety, and I almost wore myself out on them. Almost. Anyway, this stuff is fantastic. When I’ve made [...]
While I love making soups, especially in the fall and winter, I always envision them taking a lot of chopping and hours of simmering before they are really good. Those soups are wonderfully delicious, but they don’t make for great last minute meals.
