When we first started getting cucumbers in our CSA box, I thought maybe I could ignore them. I have never really liked cucumbers (am I the only one who thinks they taste odd and somewhat bitter?), and I can count on one hand the number of times I have bought one on purpose. But ignoring […]
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 have been wanting to make black bean burgers for ages…but for some reason, I was a little afraid of them. You know how sometimes you can get in your head and convince yourself that a dish you’ve never tried is going to be really difficult to get right?… Well, I was completely off base […]
Okay. I may have mentioned earlier that one of the things I have truly been loving during this pregnancy (aside from ice cream) is sandwiches. I have been taking note of interesting veggie sandwiches and wraps—you know what I mean, the ones that aren’t basically melted cheese with one mushroom or something like that. Not […]
Guess what? I also joined the Daring Bakers! The challenge for the Daring Bakers this month was quickbread, which, as the name suggests, was quick. Also, it allowed me to make something I’ve been planning for quite some time: beer bread! The first time I ever had beer bread was at one of those sales […]

You are probably busy cleaning your house for the relatives coming into town, running back and forth from Target, and wrapping so many presents that you have little tooth-shaped scars on your index finger from the tape dispenser. Or maybe that’s just me. What you really need right now […]
I have never liked canned tuna. It’s usually mixed together with mayonnaise and pickles…two of my least favorite things. But I LOVE tuna steak. So every now and then I do recipe searches for tuna, and in this particular case I overcame my distaste for canned tuna and I am really glad I did. This […]
I have a sandwich obsession. There’s just something so enticing about vegetables piled high and spread with a creamy sauce, stuffed between two pieces of thick bread… It brings me back to my childhood. Most little kids had moms who regularly made them sandwiches for lunch. I mean, I didn’t even know it was possible […]
My husband and I don’t have a cable plan at our house. This is really no big deal, as Hulu keeps us knee deep in shows to waste time watching. The main drawback for me is that the Food Network hasn’t really caught on to the online episodes trend. Sure, they do have some episodes […]
