Last weekend, my husband and I watched the movie Fat, Sick, and Nearly Dead. How’s that for a Monday morning blog post intro? It’s relevant, though… I promise! You see, we have a few friends who have done the whole “juicing” diet thing. Some have had good results, others have ended up not feeling so…
There are just a few more days to submit posts for this month’s Kitchen Bootcamp challenge… This month is all about cooking grains and legumes, so the possibilites are endless! If you’re interested in participating, be sure to check out all of the details! So, since I’ve had grains and legumes on the brain with…
The hubs and I are Ravens fans. Last Saturday night wasn’t really a good night for us Ravens fans. Though the outcome of the game wasn’t what I had hoped for, the night wasn’t a total loss. You see, since we were staying home to watch the game, I decided to whip up a big…
Growing up in Central Pennsylvania, I have been surrounded by my share of Pennsylvania Dutch cooking. One of the dishes that is a popular one for church sales and fire company dinners is chicken corn noodle soup. It’s exactly what it sounds like – chicken noodle soup with corn in it. When the weather turns cool…
It’s that time again… Time for this month’s Kitchen Bootcamp roundup! This post is a few days later than I had planned due to my trip to Seattle for IFBC. While I had the greatest intentions of being able to post the roundup right after my return, I decided to post a few thoughts on…
I thought I’d share one more vegetable recipe with you before the end of this month’s Kitchen Bootcamp challenge. My goal with this challenge was to encourage everyone to explore the local produce available this time of year, so I thought I’d develop a new recipe using one of my favorite summer staples – sweet…
We’ve had some beautiful tomatoes from our CSA this summer. I haven’t really cooked with them much, though… They seem to get eaten up before I ever have a chance to use them. So, I was thrilled to have a few tomatoes on hand the other day for lunch – especially on a hot summer…
Some days I hate to think about how much sugar I have consumed. I don’t sit around snacking on sugar packets and candy all day, but I definitely get my fair share. From a sweet bread for breakfast (often topped with Nutella) to a glass (or two) of lemonade in the afternoon and an ice cream…
When I’m dreaming up my menu for the week, I will often ask my husband if he has any dinner requests for the week. Last week when I asked, he said “something Mexican with meat.” I think he was thinking of my Beef Enchiladas (pardon the awful picture… that recipe’s on my remake list), which…
We’ve been making a conscious effort to eat more vegetarian meals throughout the week. In comparison to many families, we don’t eat a lot of meat. But, I think we can do better. My goal is to cut back to having fish/poultry 1-2 times a week and meat no more than 1 time a week….
