Another great month of Kitchen Bootcamp has come to a close. This month, I challenged everyone to try some new recipes that involved cooking with grains and legumes (Chapter 27 in The Professional Chef). It turned out to be a bigger challenge than I expected because the “legumes” part may have thrown a few people…
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…
Here’s another vegetarian dish for you (actually, if you skip the cheese on top, it’s a vegan dish!)… You’re shocked, I’m sure! When I was trying to pick out my vegetarian menu last week, I handed my hubby a few cookbooks and told him to pick out some dishes that sounded good. I figure, if…
I’ve got quite a mix of posts in this week’s collection of favorites. I’ve done quite a bit of blog reading this week (I admit, I had let my RSS reader get a bit out of hand!), and there were so many great posts to choose from. My cooking and baking list for the next…
I don’t love salads… Especially ones with a lot of lettuce. I know that I have admitted that before… And, it’s pretty prohibitive when it comes to trying to incorporate more salads into my diet and cut back on meat. Though I would love to replace meat with pasta and cheese and dine on that…
This week has been a crazy one! I’m writing this post early (on Wednesday) since I’m headed to New York City on Thursday and Friday. I’ve been getting ready for my trip, trying to get some work done, and also doggy sitting for my parents this week. Needless to say, my house has been a bit…
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…
Let me be honest here for a moment… Salads are not my favorite thing to eat. I suppose it’s possible that some people do really love salads, but I am not one of those people. Given the choice between a hamburger and a salad, I will choose the hamburger 95% of the time. My waistline…
It’s that time again… Time to showcase everyone’s hard work for this month’s Kitchen Bootcamp challenge! I am so thrilled that so many of you took the time to participate and cook along side of me, especially because I rushed this challenge a bit to get it in by the end of the month. It’s so…
My hubby and I often go out for lunch on Sunday when we’re on our way home from church. Last week we both ended up ordering salads… He ordered a mandarin chicken salad and I had a sesame “chop chop” chicken salad. We both really enjoyed the salads, so I thought it would be fun…
