Advertising executives may want you to believe that eating fresh means patronizing a certain fast food chain. To me, it’s something entirely different. My definition of eating fresh is cutting down, as much as possible, the journey fruits and vegetables take from the grower to my plate. Since I’ve come to peace with the fact [...]

Every dog may have its day, but there’s no telling how long that day may be in coming. If that dog happens to be named Bon Appetit’s Garlicky Beans with Feta and Mint, it is my sincere hope that I never see that day in my lifetime. Since going all South Beach in the kitchen, [...]

Who was the first person you had a crush on? It’s ok, I won’t tell anyone. Me? My first crush was probably Shawn Cassidy. Yes, I grew up surrounded by Tiger Beat and Teen Beat magazine hotties. Oddly enough, I was not allowed to buy those magazines. In hindsight, I think that may have shielded [...]

Despite my recent foray into decluttering my recipe files at home, I can’t help myself when it comes to printing new recipes to try. Until someone comes up with a rehab program for this affliction, I’m just going to have to do my best to stay on top of it. This may be easier said [...]

This recipe is coming to you courtesy of last week’s Food Chat over at the Washington Post. The timing was perfect since I’m trying to find new and interesting ways to work those SB Friendly veggies into our meals. SFC has already established that he’s a fan of the sweet potato. But I didn’t know [...]

Do you ever start something thinking you know EXACTLY how it’s going to turn out only to have those ideas shot to hell? Yeah, me too. Sometimes it involves a DIY project, like that time I thought it would be a great idea to update my grandmother’s bathroom. Somewhere around the step of me trying [...]
I Can’t Belive It’s Not Mashed Potatoes

Some thoughts on our South Beach journey, now into its 10th day.
My desire to bring the camera into the kitchen is not so strong these days. I’m not yet on friendly terms with these recipes. I don’t know what to expect from them – will they misbehave? So I’m more focused on trying to figure [...]
Good Karma Risotto

Ok, so maybe this risotto recipe won’t bring you good karma, but I think sharing it with you can’t be bad for mine. Besides, every time I have served it, it’s been a big hit. Huge.
The final dish is creamy with a tender grain and comes without the aggravation of having to stand over a [...]
