If you are feeling like you need to steer yourself away from the heavy/starchy foods of December, like me, then here’s a great recipe for you. It’s light. It’s bouncy and lively while still being wintery. It’s snowing outside my window and I’m thinking that this needs to be lunch tomorrow. You in?
WILD […]
With all the goodies to be had on Thanksgiving, we also gotta have our greens, right? But even the veggies at my mom’s Thanksgiving (no offense, mom) end up being fattened up by some manner of dairy.
There’s one classic recipe that illustrates this. Everyone has had some at one time or another. . . green […]

No Thanksgiving table can be complete without Cranberry Sauce. I don’t care if it comes from a can or not, you gotta have it to complete the meal. But I haven’t always felt that way.
It wasn’t until I met my husband that I discovered cranberry sauce. For him, it was a must, for […]
As a kid, I never could understand the appeal of squash. I didn’t get it. Either that or it was the way it was prepared. I mean, turkey, potatoes, stuffing—bring it on. I could down that meal with the best of them (and still can). But now, being a grown-up (am I, […]

I have to admit it took me a long time. A LOOOOONG time to find my way into the beet. I always thought beets were beat. (har! har!) I never understood the appeal. To me, they tasted like. . . dirt. Like the earth, but not in a good way. I had a co-worker […]
I recently broke down and got myself a subscription to Gourmet magazine. It was time to break the habit of buying them here and there or getting them from the library because there’s just too much good info. in there.
Gourmet is definitely just that–Gourmet and for me, that means that sometimes the recipes and articles […]

I love love love gazpacho. Cold soup is not something everyone can enjoy. I’ve found that sometimes it freaks people out. . . like it’s somehow “wrong,” that it’s cold. Or maybe they think it should be called something else because soup is inherently a hot thing. I’m not sure what the reason, but once […]

I love zucchini. I do. It’s one of the easiest veggies out there. It’s happy with a quick slop of olive oil and being tossed on the grill. It can be chopped into salads, grated into quesadillas, added to corn chowder. The opportunities are endless! However, even this zucchini-loving gal needs new ideas for the […]
We’re talking salsa this week, but it seems that wherever salsa goes, guac goes too. It can’t be denied that the 2 are an excellent pair—great with tortilla chips, on the side of quesadillas or burritos they elevate any mexi dish to the higher reaches of yum in no time.
Here is a basic, but great […]

We never had much of the tropical fruit experience when I was growing up. Never had mango, papaya, kiwi or even pineapple much. Because of this I was always a little suspicious of tropical fruits. Except anything Tropicana. Yeah, I know that doesn’t count, but to a 13 year old in suburban Massachusetts, it’s somewhat […]
