Okay, I’ll admit it. I am not the most avid nor enthusiastic vegetable eater. In an effort to get me eating more veggies, I signed up for a produce delivery service, Door to Door Organics. We got our first box today. I couldn’t be happier, although I was rather intimidated by the collard greens. I’ve [...]

There are only nine days left until Christmas. Really! Today I mailed my Christmas cards, along with a package each for my parents and in-laws. Santa has been duly stocked with the presents for under our tree. We’ve watched Elf (more than once), White Christmas, The Santa Clause, The Muppet Christmas Carol, A Charlie Brown [...]

The other day I was chatting a friend of mine and, on a whim, I asked her what she was making for dinner. She said she had “salsa chicken” going in the crock pot and explained briefly how to make it. Unfortunately it was too late in the afternoon for me to make a crock [...]

This is the first Thanksgiving since going gluten-free/dairy free/soy free, so planning the menu required a bit of research and creativity. Here are some post-Thanksgiving thoughts and notes for posterity. Sadly there are no pictures. The entire meal was devoured before the thought of taking out my camera even occurred to me. The Turkey: This [...]

Since my tendonitis is still convalescing, here’s another recipe. It really is just your basic meat loaf, but my oldest kid is just now getting over all his food aversions, so it was really nice to hear him exclaim, “this is the best dinner ever, mom!” 1 lb. pork/beef/veal meatloaf mix 1 lb. ground turkey [...]

Heaven on a slice of toast.

One of my very good friends has her own chickens and yesterday she sent me home from our play date with 3 blue eggs and 2 speckled brown eggs. There is nothing at all on earth like a poached egg laid by a beloved backyard hen and eaten with a slice of buttered and salted [...]

I’ve just finished putting away the Thanksgiving leftovers and am sitting here, enjoying a cup of coffee and the last couple of bites of Ezra’s pumpkin pie. I must say that I’m quite tickled with myself. The ginormous bird was roasted to juicy perfection. The stuffing, cooked in the crockpot with the turkey’s wingtips and [...]

The stars must have been aligned–this dish was a huge hit at our house tonight. I riffed on this recipe featured on the Rachael Ray show today. All of the ingredients came from Trader Joe’s. Here’s how I did it: 1. Prepare one pound of dried tortellini pasta according to the package directions. 2. While [...]

Below is a list of 100 things that I think every good omnivore should have tried at least once in their life. The list includes fine food, strange food, everyday food and even some pretty bad food – [...]
