I’ll be the first to admit that I’m in a cooking rut. This is the third macaroni and cheese that I’ve made in the last couple of weeks (I ordinarily make one about once a month, but still). This might say something about how integral […]
I’ve been in a macaroni and cheese mood. It’s one of my favorite comfort foods. It’s the thing that I turn to when I stare blankly into the fridge going, “I have noooooooothing to eeeeeeeeeat.” Maybe for simply the reason that, no matter how bare […]
I’ve been in a cooking rut for a little while. Although the peppers in my garden are just beginning to ripen. So, it’s almost the season for making anything and everything with spicy food. Today, I have a couple of flaming jade peppers. Flaming jades […]
I’m a big fan of stuffed peppers. They’re great as a side dish, on salads, mixed in with eggs and potatoes, cooked inside of burritos, really the sky is the limit! There’s a plethora of different peppers, cheeses, cooking methods, and recipe inspirations to choose […]

This is a sort of a Pacific Northwest, Italian, Mediterranean-themed pasta salad. Really, it’s just a hodge-podge of everything that I have in the refrigerator at the moment. The other day I made Barbecue Salmon w/ Lemon & Onion for Salad w/ Salmon, Couscous, & […]
As much as I like Tofu Stir Fry, I’ve never been entirely sure whether or not I need a wok. I technically do own one. I sort of inherited it. Although it’s Teflon, so I’ve never used it. I’m not entirely opposed to Teflon. My […]
It’s the holiday season. And, more than anything in the blustery weather, I make lentils. I know that this might mot be the most common of things! But I associate quinoa with bright, citrus, summery days. And I associate lentils with warm, rich, winter. This […]
I’m in the process of making Roasted Kabocha Squash and have to also make something to actually eat today. As the weather starts to get chilly, I tend to switch from quinoa in the summer to lentils in the winter. There’s nothing seasonal about the […]
