I’m a big fan of cabbage and love finding new ways to eat it. Cabbage is wonderfully inexpensive and goes a long way. I made this for Tuesday and have already made it again to go with our Thanksgiving leftovers. The lime is refreshing and tart, the peanuts add a sweet crunch, and the edamameRead more
I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving! We had a great celebration and while we’re still in the throws of Thanksgiving leftovers, if you’re looking for something different this is a great flavorful but light soup. This also freezes great, so you can make a lot and save the rest for a rainy day.Read more
This is a great recipe to keep in your back pocket. It’s really simple to throw together and makes for a great, fuss-free salad dressing. I love the salty-sweet-sesame flavor. Definitely a keeper!

Sorry for the delay in posting! Unfortunately I still don’t have power at my house, fortunately my uncle and his family are on vacation so we moved into his house for the time being. I’ve also been busy doing a Peripheral Blood Stem Cell donation (a type of bone marrow donation). I signed up throughRead more
So a galette is really just a free-form pie with the edges folded partially over the pie filling. They’re casual enough to make for yourself for lunch, but impressive enough to make for company. The crust on this is made lighter with olive oil instead of butter and is a light and flakey crust. IRead more
For Tuesday’s dinner I decided to try making vegetarian Sloppy Joes. This was pretty challenging to get the right flavor without the flavor that the meat usually brings to the dish. But I think I created something pretty close. Sloppy Veggie Joes Serves 15-20 Adapted from Rachael Ray 1 Tbsp olive oil 3 bell peppers,Read more
