Oh no. Here I go again with the hippie food. I know, I know…you want to see meat! More meat woman! Well, just hold on to your hot little hands for a few days….the meat’s a-comin’! In fact, I’m away this weekend at a BBQ for my husband’s online game playin’ buddies…don’t laugh! They are

I was feeling a little guilty yesterday. Like I ate too many cheesy bites at my hubby’s staff party on the weekend. Or maybe it was the gargantuan tart I ate the other night. Whatever the case, I needed to eat something a little more on the “healthy” side last night. Also, it was raining

Something about Sunday mornings just says….warm bread. I don’t know why. Maybe it’s because my Mother would cook breakfast for us only on weekend mornings. It usually involved waffles, fritters or eggs of some kind. I’m not so much into sweet things for breakfast, again that may be because of my Mother. (Do you think

Everyone likes to dip. Just ask my son. If I put something in front of him that he doesn’t like, all I need to do is put dip next to it. At least I know he will eat the dip, if not the mode of transport that brought it to his mouth. There are a
I had some left over buttermilk in the fridge this morning. That always happens to me. Most recipes call for 1 cup, but I can only ever find 500mL containers in our store. I hate to waste food (there’s that hippie talkin’ again), so I have to find useful ways of using it up. I

AKA: Taboulé Who likes to cook when it’s 30 degrees outside (for all you ‘mericans, that’s 86 degrees Fahrenheit). I just want to sit in the backyard, watch the kid run around with the dog and drink fresh Mojitos. Mmmmmm… But the mint reminded me of something a friend made for me a while back.
