Friday Favorites – Episode 37
Spicy Black Beans
My husband “doesn’t like black beans.” At least, that’s what he thought.
In addition to the goals I mentioned in my first Ten in 10 post, another ongoing goal that I have is to make more vegetarian meals. I typically make one or two vegetarian dinners each week, but I would like to be eating meatless meals [...]
Friday Favorites – Episode 35
I can’t believe it’s Friday already again. Even scarier is the fact that Christmas is now only three short weeks away! This fall has gone by in a flash… It’s hard to believe that Thanksgiving is already over and the Christmas season is now in full swing!
So, if you’re still scrambling to catch up and [...]
Tomato, Pepper, and Jack Soup
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 [...]
Mexican Cucumber Salad
I don’t know about you, but when it’s hot and humid in the summer, the last thing I want to do is cook on the stove or use the oven. With the amount of delicious fresh produce I have been getting from our CSA and our garden, I have been able to make a [...]
Introducing Tips & Tricks…
Every once in a while, as I am working in my kitchen, I realize that I have what I consider to be a good kitchen tip to share… It’s not that I’m brilliant, not by a long shot. It’s usually just that I stumble across something by accident, and I think to myself, “perhaps this is [...]
Mexican Cabbage Rolls
While this dish was inspired by my beef enchilada recipe, I am not going to try to tell you that cabbage rolls and enchiladas are the same thing. That’s like those diet articles that say to substitute carrot sticks for french fries, a bowl of fruit for a chocolate muffin. If you really [...]
Tomato and Squash Skillet
Last week, my husband was out of town, so I ended up cooking for myself for a few days. On Wednesday, when I picked up our CSA share, I decided to make myself a quick vegetarian dinner since I had an abundance of veggies from both the CSA and garden that I didn’t want to [...]
Baja Chicken Tacos
Lately I have been on a mission to use the bottled condiments and marinades that have been stockpiled in my pantry. For a while, I would clip coupons from the Sunday paper, and then I felt compelled to use them. I would buy 3 bottles of marinade just to save a dollar, even though I [...]
Friday Favorites – Episode 5
In addition to my favorite blog posts of the week, which I will get to in just a bit, I would like to pass along an award that I received this week. I thought about posting this earlier in the week, but it seemed appropriate to post it as a part of my Friday Favorites.
I received [...]
