This is a great recipe for a main course. It can be made as-is for a vegetarian dish or you could add some grilled chicken or shrimp. For this round I chose to serve it with lima beans for protein. They have such fantastic flavor and texture (and Neil and...
Whole Foods had quite a few gems for me this past week. This is another of their winning recipes both for flavor and for the healthy prep. Of course I changed it up a bit to suit my needs. Then I served it along-side a very rich cut of meat. ...
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...

We got lots of snow here in New England yesterday, and on top of that, ice. Thanks to technology though, we knew it was coming. Thus, I planned to work from home which allows me a little bit more flexibility then working from an office 15.4 miles away (from my...
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...
