I didn’t exactly start out making Sweet Potatoes Mexican Rice today. I’ve been making rice and beans together for the last couple of weeks. The peppers in my garden are ripening, so I need to use them while I still have them! I just started […]
Fall is in the air and you know what that means: it’s bean season. Not really, bean harvesting season is in midsummer to early autumn. And, while there are plenty of people who grow or may otherwise have access to fresh beans? Most of us […]
It’s officially fall and you know what that means: It’s pepper season. Peppers are a fall harvest crop and one of my favorite things to grow. It might take all summer for them to ripen in my climate, but it’s well worth the effort when […]

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, & […]
