Since I can’t tolerate a lot of sugar these days (much to my dismay), and certainly not much cane sugar or other processed stuff, I opted to make candied pecans for gifts this year instead of cookies or fudge. My forays into paleo cookies have been meh, and fudge is well, fudge. I know I’ll … Continue reading
Okay, so don’t freak out. I’m still a foodie. I did not choose this diet, it seems to have chosen me, but I will find whatever wiggle room my system allows for. I will eventually go back to enjoying cheese and ice cream, if not doughnuts and cake. But for the time being I’m making … Continue reading
I’m under the gun with a research paper, so I’ve decided now is a good time to start food blogging again. As I mentioned, my diet has undergone a major overhaul over the last few months. I’ve been gluten-free for about two months, dairy free for around three. A little background: I saw a doctor … Continue reading
This is my version of this Cooking Light recipe. I’ve changed some techniques and ingredients a bit. It is also no longer light. I have to admit I find creamy soups kind of bland after a while. Tasty, but just not enough variation. Enter, bacon! 2.5 pounds sweet potatoes or winter squash, peeled and cubed … Continue reading
It’s that special time of year when everything turns pumpkin. Pumpkin spice coffee, cake muffins, cookies, pumpkin beer, pumpkin creamer, pumpkin pumpkin PUMPKIN. Don’t get me wrong – I love pumpkin. I love this time of year where everything is warmly spiced and pairs nicely with a warm cider. It’s the time of year when … Continue reading
Yes, Tiffany did an awesome version of these. My version is based off of this one, which has a slightly different makeup. My mom is visiting, and she also has a CSA in California so she also has lots of “kitchen sink” recipes. We’ve been trying hers (to be blogged soon), but we are both … Continue reading
Hi! Remember me? I used to blog here sometimes. And then I started my PhD and got hired back as a professor and my daughter turned 3 (hello!) and a bunch of other crazy stuff happened and I stopped writing about food. I still cook food, a lot. I still get my CSA and come … Continue reading
This weekend marked my first big dive into Italian efforts. I decided to kick things off with a bang. While reading through the ad for a local grocery, I saw that mussels were on sale. I quickly scanned through my Cook Italy book and found a recipe for mussels that looked pretty good. I love … Continue reading
I’ve been channeling my inner Julia again. Mastering the Art of French Cooking is out and about and getting progressively more dog-eared on my counter. When flipping through looking for some sauce or something, I stumbled across a recipe for Aigo Bouido Soupe a l’Oeuf, Provencale, or garlic soup with poached eggs. We just received … Continue reading
Hooray for Pinterest! I have found some fantastic food blogs via other pinners. This one comes from Pinch of Yum and includes a few changes based on what I had in the fridge that week from the CSA – but it is mostly intact. This is a delicious dish – use the full amount of Tom … Continue reading
