I almost never make rice in my rice cooker. Ironically enough, quinoa and lentils cook up much better and are far easier meals to toss together. Rice often ends up too thick or thin, too moist or dry, and just relatively unpleasant. Part of the […]
I’m in a nacho mood lately. I’ve been making a lot of Macaroni & Cheese lately and really just am intensely craving cheese! It’s really a comfort food. If anything is tiring or stressful or unexpected in my life, all I want is cheese. And […]
I have anaheims ripening in the garden. I’m quite fond of anaheims. I more commonly stuff queso fresco and/or quinoa in larger peppers. But I prefer the flavor of anaheims! Obviously enough to have grown quite a few in my porch garden. So, that is […]

This week I have made Slow Cooker Pinto Beans w/ Bay Leaves & Lime, Vermicelli Salad w/ Cucumber & Tofu, and Avocado Dip w/ Greek Yogurt, Walnuts, & Lime. Now, these may all seem like disparate dishes from around the globe. After all, pinto beans […]
