The inspiration for this recipe is courtesy of Rodale's Organic Life. Because I can never leave well enough alone, I made some alterations and additions to the recipe, and I hope you like the results. It's a lovely mix of textures and tastes and is immensely...
I have Heather to thank for this week's recipe. At last Friday's "Fun Friday Flow" (where were you, by the way?), I overheard her talking about these delicious corn tortillas that she gets from our local Country Produce. I might mention that this happened right...
Certain things give me ridiculous joy. One such thing is knowing what we're going to have for dinner AND having it ready when I arrive home. Walking through the doorway to a welcoming, fragrant aroma is divine. I also have to admit, that not being...
This time it started with broccoli. We received some incredible organic broccoli in our most recent delivery. I wanted to build a recipe around this green goodness. Recalling a funny comment from my friend Joanna about her family wanting old-school veggies with cheese sauce, and knowing my...
Remember those sesame crisps we enjoyed as kids? I loved those teeth-breaking treats! I recently had a craving for sesame seeds, and I'm convinced it's nature's way of telling me I need more calcium in my diet. I'm a bit wary of calcium supplements. There is...
I've been loving granola lately. I think perhaps it's nature's way of steering me away from smoothies on a daily basis. Don't get me wrong; smoothies are still a staple of my diet, but I also think it's a good idea to switch things up...
Remember old-school stuffed mushroom caps? You know, the ones loaded with breadcrumbs and cheese? Feeling a bit nostalgic as 2016 was winding down, I thought I'd make some mushroom caps stuffed with something a tad more nourishing than the beleaguered bread crumb. Enter quinoa. A key...
Robb's sister, Heather, recently gifted us with some black bean pasta. It's a terrific gluten-free, high-protein option for pasta lovers. The box that it came in had a yummy sounding recipe, which we used as inspiration for this week's recipe. Of course, I couldn't leave...
We love soup. We especially love soup on cold winter days. Being the fortunate recipients of organic produce that is delivered to our door, we have abundant opportunities to experiment in the kitchen. We have both always enjoyed creamy, rich potato leek soup. Many of the...
We love energy bars at our house. We love them so much we'll often make up a batch with whatever we have on hand. This can be problematic, especially if Robb is behind the wheel operating the food processor. Like a tortured artist, he throws...
Wishing for a departure from my traditional smoothie for breakfast, I've been experimenting with chia pudding. Chia is a remarkable seed, jam-packed with nutrients, and it is incredibly versatile. Due to its neutral taste and ability to "gel", it's often used as a thickening or...
Sage is one of the few surviving herbs in my sadly neglected garden this year. Despite my best intentions, my garden is really more of a "survival of the fittest and hardiest". Seems somewhat akin to characters in Lord of the Flies...
