This is another dish that I wasn’t too sure about as I formed the recipe in my head…
I’m really not much of a greens person in general. Lettuce, spinach, arugula, kale, chard, collards… You name it, I will probably turn my nose up at it. I do eat them all, but given the choice between [...]
Quiche or tart? That is the question.
At least, that is the question I posed to my twitterverse yesterday as I was making this dish. When baking an egg mixture in pastry shell in a tart pan, is it a quiche or a tart?
Turns out (thanks to @EpicureanJourney) that a quiche is actually a type of [...]
Baking homemade bread is becoming increasingly popular again, especially among bloggers… If you don’t believe me, just check out all of the amazing bakers participating in the Bread Baker’s Apprentice Challenge! While I don’t have the baking chops to participate in the challenge, I have been learning to bake my own bread.
While I may have [...]
While everyone is concerned about swine flu H1N1, it seems another disease is spreading rapidly this fall. It’s spreading like wildfire from blog to blog. That’s right, I’m talking about cook’s block or food blogger’s block.

It’s rough being married to a food blogger… Just ask my husband.
Honestly, though, he’s a really good sport when it comes to my food blog. He is willing to try just about anything I make, and rarely complains about things that don’t work out as planned. He also puts up with my constant photographing (and [...]
In the past week or two, it seems that both our garden and our CSA have started booming with tomatoes. I have already frozen as much tomato sauce as I can possibly pack into my freezer. So, I decided to tackle some tomato soup. It might not sound like a big deal, but the bar was [...]
I missed last week’s Friday Favorites post because I had the flu, but this week, I am back in full force! The worst part about being sick was that I couldn’t stand even the thought of food. Needless to say, reading and blogging about food was completely off limits.
Fortunately, this week, there have been plenty [...]
When life hands you kale? Make pasta, of course!
Last week we got our first CSA share. In it, there was a big bunch of kale. I tend to keep away from greens at the grocery store – kale, swiss chard, bok choy, etc. I never really knew what to do with them… and it’s not something [...]
Each week, I try to make a few vegetarian meals – it’s both eco-friendly and waistline-friendly. In the past, I have made frittatas with ham, but this week I had a nice selection of my favorite veggies on hand, so I decided to make a meat-free frittata for dinner. I enjoy eggs for dinner once [...]
