"30 Minute Meals"
Lately I have found myself eating more and more vegan and vegetarian meals. I was a vegetarian for many years (many years ago now) but I found that my lifestyle had changed and I incorporated more and more meat back into my diet. Nowadays, there are many fantastic meat substitutes available. I can cope with [...]
Lettuce wraps are a favorite appetizer of many at restaurants. They are a light and refreshing way to enjoy a variety of fillings. I just can’t help but wrap my fingers around them! I wanted to do something with ground turkey because of the lighter fat content, but I didn’t want to sacrifice any flavor. [...]
When I tell people I made something “egg-free” and “dairy-free” they usually look at me in horror with a weird, scrunched-up face. Here’s how I solve that problem, I tell them that I added avocado instead. Cue faces of relief. The avocado makes this tuna salad creamy without the addition of mayo or hard-boiled eggs [...]
With all of the recent tragic events it’s really made me sit back and count my blessings. America is supposed to be a nation of nations, where people come to be free and thrive and build better lives. What is happening lately? Too many public shootings, then Newtown and now the Boston Marathon. As one [...]
Grilled Cheese month continues! And with the recent bout of cold weather, comfort food really hits the spot. Grilled cheese is always a favorite in this household. Even the cat loves to nibble off of our sandwiches. She has good taste. I love the contrast of textures in this sandwich. The inside of the sandwich [...]
Hello friends! It has been too long since we’ve chatted. It turns out that I did not have internet in Wisconsin after all. I apologize for the hiatus. I know you were worried and I dearly appreciate your concern. All I can do is promise you that it will not happen again… anytime soon that [...]
Being unemployed has left me with a lot of free time. At first it was great – like a stay at home vacation. I got to sleep in, chill out, do whatever I wanted to do. But that got old really fast, once I realized that the things I wanted to do with my free [...]
I love poached eggs. I really, REALLY love poached eggs. I love dipping buttery toast into runny egg yolks and gobbling it all up. I could eat the stuff all day every day, but then I wouldn’t have anything to post on here! So to avoid blogger monotony I came up with this creamy eggs [...]
Man, it has been colder than cold here in Colorado lately. I think the high maybe squeaked into the teens today. BRR!! It was time to whip out some warm, hearty recipes… like this one! Besides my recent “splurge” at Sprouts Grocery Store (I bought an eggplant and some potatoes) I have mostly steered clear [...]
For my birthday (which was many moons ago now) my Mister bought me a gift card to this amazing European market in Boulder. I finally went shopping and purchased some orecchiette imported from Italy. Now if you’ve never had orecchiette, think of them as tiny pasta bowls. In Italian ‘orecchio‘ means ‘ear,’ and the suffix [...]
Le sigh… it’s been a very hot summer. Even still, I feel like it’s flown by. It’s almost the end of Summer now. Do you know what that means? It’s almost the end of zucchini season too. Say a little prayer for these guys and devour ‘em. Zucchini alone can be a bit bland. They’re [...]
Happy Labor Day! Are you enjoying your weekend? I’ve been so busy this weekend that I almost feel like I need a weekend after this weekend! It’s a good thing I only have four work days this week. I have a feeling that next weekend will be very similar. Peach season is rockin’ and rollin’ [...]
