Sautéed kale finds its way to our table much (MUCH) more frequently than spinach. Those big bags of prepped kale are so temptingly easy. Sometimes I’ll chop it up a bit more into a fine, but rustic dice. Other times I’ll leave it in the big sloppy pieces that are […]
Feeling incredibly decadent, we were prepared for the day-after this year. We made a quick stop at Alon’s bakery on our way home from a day of holiday shopping. And, this post-shopping bakery stop is bound to be a new tradition. The resulting turkey sandwiches were incredibly rich and delicious.

Cool nights mean one thing in our house. It’s time for hot chocolate! Mexican chocolate has a grainy texture that’s rich with sugar. So much sugar, in fact, that there is no need to add additional sugar.

I love the crisp crunch of a fresh cherry. Sometimes, that bag of fresh cherries are a bit soft and ripe. That’s the perfect time to make a batch of jam.

Probably because of all of the holiday excess, I get into a frugal mood out of the blue. After coring a particularly delicious pineapple, I wondered. What could I do with the fiber-y core. First thought, it’s smoothie time. The fiber-y bits in the resulting smoothie were barely noticeable.
