I should have taken Siobhan‘s advice on vital kitchen equipment and used goggles when I made this soup. I do admit that all of the tears and suffering were worth the delicious result. I made this as a first course for my Thanksgiving Dinner. I was so caught up with everything that I forgot [...]
Gobble gobble… gobble gobble gobble… gobble! Gobble, gobble gobble gobble gobble gobble. [Please install the Turkey Translator to view your message]
Today is my very good friend Derek’s birthday! I made these sweet little treats to celebrate. I’m a firm believer that nobody should have to work on their birthday. But unfortunate circumstances do happen and sometimes you just have to make the best of it. Carrot cake makes it all better. HAPPY BIRTHDAY D$ROCK! [On [...]

This is the ultimate veggie burger! These things are so packed with flavor — you’ll never have a bland black bean burger again. You can mix and match ingredients depending on what you have available in your fridge or garden, but try to keep the size of each ingredient to a minimum. Larger pieces will [...]

Fresh salsa always reminds me of summer. This is one of my favorites to use. The roasted corn and fresh ingredients in this salsa makes it unbeatable. This recipe takes a lot of time if you want to do it right (believe me, the addition of roasted corn is well worth the wait) but if [...]
To me, chili represents one of two things: chilly winter nights and football season. Things are cooling off here in Colorado, and it felt about time to try my first chili recipe of the season. Trinity, a very dear friend of mine, came up with a brilliant idea of a chili cook-off. She unfortunately [...]
I am a huge supporter of organic snacks. They usually offer a boatload of whole grains that not only taste great but feel great to eat too. They’re also organic and not only good for your body but buying these little nibblers support and strengthens the organic community as well. The more we can do [...]
Fresh Artichoke Spinach Dip {From Real Artichokes}
On November 12, 2010 · 6 Comments · In Appetizers/Snacks, Make Ahead, Party Ideas, Recipes, Vegan/Vegetarian
I had a particular craving one day for a creamy, cheesy, garlicky, artichoke and spinach dip. From time to time, I’ll get mad cravings for food that’ll drive me buggy until I satisfy them. So, I decided to satisfy! Because I had never made this particular dip before, I researched some recipes online. I [...]
It’s not often that I am impressed by a new recipe, but this one caught me by surprise! This savory pie is spicy from the andouille but sweet from the potatoes. If you’ve never had andouille, it is a sausage made mostly of pork and garlic and is cajun and smokey in nature. If you [...]
My good buddy D$Rock inspired me to make this meal. He was nice enough to share part of his lunch with me, which happened to be chicken tenders and mashed potatoes. After I had a taste, I really wanted to make more so I could completely indulge and satisfy. This recipe is super tasty and [...]
For anyone who has only tasted canned mushroom soups before, this is a winning homemade recipe to transition away from the realm of canned soups and into a world of exploding taste buds. There are certain recipes that when you begin them, you instantly know that this is something you will make again and again. [...]
Okay, I freely admit that I have no idea if Mr. Magoo would approve of this dish or not, but it helps me remember that “Ragout,” is not pronounced like “RAG-OUT.” {Shakes her fist at the English language} For this recipe I used a mix of earthy crimini mushrooms, meaty shiitake mushrooms and agaricus (more [...]
