I had this for the first time because my friend Annie brought it to a pot luck. It’s delicious, and happens to be healthy also (I think she may have said it comes from a South beach diet cookbook?). The purple cabbage is colorful and beautiful. A very easy, fast salad to make. Keeps great...
Here’s a little trick: Whole foods has some amazing marinades and rubs, and they’re free.
Last night I made sesame-encrusted seared tuna (with wasabi), brown rice and sauteed broccolini. It’s not the cheapest meal in my repertoire, but it’s one of the best and it’s one of the easiest.
The cooking really begins when I can...
Years ago, I wanted to write a cookbook called Yuppie food made with white trash ingredients. This salad would have been included in that cookbook. You brown Ramen noodles in butter, for goodness sake. If that’s not lowbrow, I don’t know what is.
But when it’s all dressed and plated, it’s a beautiful salad, and everyone...
I like to call this sort of dish swanky white trash … or, who am I kidding, maybe just plain ‘ol white trash. There’s a very good chance the swanky part is all in my head.
We had an Easter brunch yesterday and they were served along side mimosa’s and vegetarian quiche. Plus, I totally served...
Here’s my lunch plate yesterday:
I warmed up leftover pesto pizza and made a quick salad of greens my friend, Marshall Sanders, makes here locally.
Tuesday nights I work late. My amazing hubby handles the kids and makes dinner (and usually cleans the dishes up too … he’s my hero!) For my part, I usually try to...
I’ve been a pitiful blogger this past week. The runny nose season has hit our household, and I always get every cold the kids have. We also took a quick trip to Florida (My favorite pic from the weekend)…
…but back to the main topic, granola balls.
My friend, Diana, made these for a party one day,...
This recipe comes from a friend’s mom. She’s a great cook. I still use the scribbled post-it I used to write down her quiche recipe years ago. It’s been spilled on and stained over the years, but I can’t get rid of that pitiful looking post-it…
Quiche is my what-the-heck’s-for-dinner workhorse. I can have it assembled...
I have been making bran muffins every week for 20 years. I think I could start peddling them around town and become a bran muffin tycoon. And maybe I will one day. But for now, I’ll just try to convince you to start making your own.
They’re so healthy and good for you. Increasing your daily...
I think this recipe came from the food network website. The original recipe calls for 1 lb of pasta, but I think that’s too much for the amount of sauce it makes – I’ve been accused of really being a fat-lover (and it’s true), but the ratios seem to work out better by cutting...
