More and more is starting to show up at the farmer’s market as the weather gets warmer. Since I’m on my own this week, I didn’t go overboard, but I did get two things that I’m excited about. First my small collection of veggies; radishes, cucumbers, carrots, and 2 green tomatoes which I intend to [...]

This is one of my favorite things to make in the summer time, and a great thing to take to a cook out or barbecue where you need to bring a side dish. It’s a wee bit early for the best fruits, but when I saw the blueberries and strawberries on sale at the grocery [...]

As promised, here’s my first Wednesday healthy food post! I’ve always loved fish and seafood so when I started changing how I eat, it was pretty easy to add a little more fish to my diet. Fish is a really great part of a healthy diet – it provides a lot of protein and minerals [...]

Tuesdays with Dorie #6:  Babette of Babette Feasts picked the Tartest Lemon Tart on page 336. I want to start off saying that I loved the rich lemony-ness of this tart. It had a depth of flavor that went beyond your average lemon tart, which I’m sure is from the use of whole lemons. It [...]

Veggie Lasagna Recipe This might more accurately be titled How-to-use-up-leftover-veggies-lasagna because it’s what I make when I have bits and pieces of veggies in the crisper that need to be used before they go bad. It’s easy to make – although not fast, because once it’s prepped, it still needs to bake for an hour. [...]

No farmer’s market today, unfortunately. I got up a little late this morning, and I think the late morning hour (after 11) and the gloomy weather had driven off most people. There were a handful of stands left, but nothing that I needed or wanted. So instead I went to Harry’s and picked up some [...]

What do you do when you have a handful of tomatoes from the farmer’s market that are starting to get wrinkly but you don’t want to use them just yet? Easy .. you skin them, and not-can them. This is super easy, super fast, and it’ll give you an extra 7-10 days of tomato life. [...]

I’ve been posting a bunch of stuff lately – which is good – but with all the recent focus on Tuesdays with Dorie, I’ve sort of neglected the other side of this blog, which is a focus on HEALTHY eating.  See, I started the blog because I lost weight – a lot of weight, as [...]

Tuesdays with Dorie #5:  Megan of My Baking Adventures chose Tiramisu Cake on pages 266-268. First of all .. although a reasonably simple recipe in technique, for me, this was the most difficult, time consuming, and messy TWD recipe I’ve made to date. I must admit that I brought some of it on myself. I [...]
