When I was in college, I joined the Baptist Student Union. I am not going to lie…I went because a hallmate dragged me along, and I stayed because of the food. Baptists can cook! Before I became a Baptist, I had never even heard of pimiento cheese. But some time during one of the many […]
Oh my. Quick! Go buy some farro! You have to make this meal immediately. It’s full of springy goodness. Green peas and split peas, roasted scallions, and spring greens. Plus goat cheese! You can never go wrong with goat cheese.
My husband loves rhubarb pie. When we first started dating, I had never even heard of rhubarb! I, being a quite sensible girl, had tried to endear myself to him by baking him brownies and cookies…and he rather matter-of-factly informed me that if I really wanted to impress him, I should make him a rhubarb […]
Asparagus Green Bean Salad
Right after Jake was born, a bunch of amazing friends brought us food for a few weeks to lighten our load. And thank goodness! Otherwise I am not sure we would have eaten anything except cereal, cereal, cereal. It was a great opportunity to try new things! One of my new dishes was this side […]
Attention, all mothers of babies and toddlers! I have found you the perfect meal delivery vehicle. That’s right, the pita pocket! You can hold it in one hand, it won’t fall apart when you put it down (plus it’s easy to pick back up again!), AND nothing will fall or drip out of the bottom […]
I can’t believe Jake is almost 7 months old! We have been feeding him solids for about a month now. We started with rice cereal, per our pediatrician’s recommendation, and then slowly started introducing vegetable purees. But, um…did you know that a lot of store brand baby foods have all kinds of chemical additives in […]
Recently, we have started making family dinners a higher priority. Honestly, I didn’t realize how much eating a family dinner every night would tax my cooking repertoire! So I started dividing meals into categories, to make it easier for me to lay out a variety of different meals over the course of each week. We […]
Well by now, you probably all know how much I hate fruit. But if you ever met my dad, you would seriously wonder how I turned out this way! He never met a fruit he didn’t like. In fact, he prefers fruit over chocolate (gasp)! So this year I got to play the host for […]
In our house, this noodle dish represents the best of all worlds. I like it because it is full of whole grains and vegetables. Dave likes it because it’s tossed in an Asian style sauce. I can’t believe I haven’t posted about this sooner! This meal is a snap to put together. In about the […]
