Waste Not, Want Not This is one of the simplest, yet most important, life lessons that my grandmother left with me. Her mother had lived through some very lean years that taught her to never waste. In her eyes, it was a downright sin to waste good food […]
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. Mexican Hot Chocolate makes about 1 cup of hot chocolate mix […]
The summer is coming to a close. So, now’s the time to grab all of the fresh vegetables that you can. We had tons of baby greens, gorgeous tomatoes, radishes, cucumbers, spring onions, cilantro and lime. So, we paired our grilled corn with a big plate of salad […]
Purple Potatoes I love them. But, I don’t love the way they fade and bleed into soups and stews. So, I tried something different. I nuked them. Three minutes for the first try. And, then they went back into the nuker for another 2-3 minutes. Cook til fork […]

I was shooting for something halfway between a blueberry muffin and sweet cornbread. And, I think I’m getting close. This was closer to a sweet cornbread with blueberries added. Those blueberries are dried wild blueberries from Trader Joe’s. (Love them! They’re not really dry. They’re closer to a dehydrated blueberry […]
It’s grilling season! This isn’t a perfect example of the sauce. Ideally, the tender leaves would be ever so slightly chunkier. But, that’s the downside of having a powerful food processor. Pulsing the processor as little as one second too long, that fine mince of tender leaves turns […]
There are good things and bad things about these brownies. Let’s start with the good. As far as brownies go, they have a good dose of fiber. They’re very filling. And, they taste “fine”. But… And, this is a big but. Even with a hefty dose of cocoa, there is […] |
