I am frequently surprised by the fact that I’m not yet sick of eating hearty winter greens. It’s true, I’m not, although I make no promises that I won’t be in another few weeks when I begin to pine for the fresh pole beans and beets and spinach of spring...
I can honestly say that I love a good bolognese. So when I saw this recipe for one without any meat I was certainly skeptical. How does one take a recipe that is by nature fatty with meat drippings and cream and make it both vegetarian and healthy? In a...
I swear that I haven’t been slacking on trying out new recipes or cooking in general, only posting. I’ve been so darn busy that I cook and take pics, but simply don’t have the time to get it all online. This recipe is another from Food and Wine magazine. As...
Last night’s dinner was inspired by a package of butternut squash triangoli that we had picked up at Trader Joe’s. We needed a quick meal and this would fit the bill. I took one chicken breast, cut it in half, pounded it out nice and thin, and then floured &...
Oh my goodness, I’ve got to quit eating like this soon or I’m going to weigh 400 pounds, but my body just won’t give up on this winter recipe eating regiment. I’ll have to up the workouts or something. When Neil and I were discussing menus for this week and...

As always, this week I was on the lookout for fantastic new recipes to try. The twist was that they had to be both hearty (since temps this week are in the 20s) and healthy (as I’m training for a race). This one fit the bill so I gave it...
While poking through my refrigerator the other day I found that I still had some red and green cabbages left from this season’s CSA (which ended in November) that were still good, but needed to be used up. What better way to do that than a stir fry, right? Creating...
So yesterday we got hit with our third snow storm in three weeks, and this time it buried us. What else was there to do but stay home, do some housework, shovel ridiculous amounts of snow, and cook? I had lugged my snowblower out of the basement last month in...
So the holidays are over, several birthdays have been celebrated, a few folks have announced new pregnancies (no- definitely not me), and now it’s time to get back to posting about food. It’s not that I haven’t been cooking. In fact, I started a google calendar just for my weekly...
