Jamaican Chicken & Fish Chowda!
That’s right - Jamaican Chicken and Fish Chowder, but not together of course.
Tuesday night I made a new recipe, CL’s Jamaican Chicken with Mango Salsa. Man-o-man that is a repeater. It makes for a quick weeknight recipe (less than 30 minutes) but the best part by far was the mango salsa which I plan to […]

Vegetables, Fruits, & Legumes - Oh My!
I recently read a health book and learned a few things I already knew. Well, I already knew that Americans don’t eat enough fruits and vegetables and that most people eat a too much meat and white pastas and rices. But after reading real medical studies and learning that there is a scientific consensus that […]

Forget Domino’s!
Quick Pizza Margherita (Vegetarian)
It was beautiful last Sunday but my allergies returned with the good weather, making me feel tired and a little blue. I picked out my recipes for the week and went out for my quick weekly shopping trip. I didn’t plan on making ‘Sunday Dinner’ but I had a craving for some […]

Caribbean Sweet Potatoes and Black Beans
Caribbean Sweet Potatoes and Black Beans (Carnivore & Vegetarian Versions)
Last night I made one of my favorites, Caribbean Sweet Potatoes and Black Beans, another Cooking Light recipe. I discovered this one a long time ago and I made it for the whole fam at last year’s Warner/Smith/Stecher/O’Hora/Bowen/Shimp Beach trip in Duck, NC. I know it […]

Welcome Home Dinner - Empanadas
Robby returned from a weekend in Maryland last night and I decided to welcome him home with one of his favorite recipes, Baked Beef Empanadas. I love these too. They are another Cooking Light creation. He ran out and got some Tortilla Factory salsa and I served them with some plantain chips. Yum - there […]

Eggplant & Comments Broken (Now Fixed) - Oh My!
Baked Eggplant (Vegetarian)
Last night I made Baked Eggplant with Mushroom-and-Tomato Sauce, one of my favorite winter repeater recipes! I actually didn’t “cook” anything last night. On Wednesday night, after Robby cooked dinner, I prepped this eggplant recipe so it would be all ready to go for Thursday. All I had to do was pop […]

Soccer Night Dinner
Last night my indoor soccer team played in the semi-finals and we won! We had an early game so I got home around 8 and dinner was ready to go. Robby cooked Chinese-Style Glazed Chicken Breasts and Roasted Okra. I forgot to take pictures. The chicken recipe is another quick weeknight one that we’ve […]

Stop Feeling Bad - Real Simple Article
I signed up for electronic newsletters from one of my favorite magazines, Real Simple. I just read today’s newsletter and there was an article that struck a chord with me. I know a few people (ahem..Stephanie Lamb) that have the same problem as me: trouble saying no, over-analyzing small things. So here’s Real Simple’s article, […]

Florentine Frittata
Florentine Frittata (Vegetarian)
Last weekend Robby and I talked about going to Virginia Kitchen but we never got around to going. Ever since that conversation, I’ve been craving breakfast food. So last night I made Florentine Frittata from Cooking Light. If you like feta, roasted red peppers, spinach, and Ore Ida hash browns, this is the […]

“What happens when 250 years of jurisprudence is thrown out?”
I apologize in advance but I have to go there. This article is a must read–I think that the current administration has gotten away with so much because it is difficult to explain these trespasses that are being taken. This article breaks it down and translates the legalese into something we all can understand. Please Read […]

Seafood store opening by our house
For the last couple of months, Robby and I have noticed a new structure being built at Great Falls Plaza right by our house. We keep saying to each other, “I hope it is something cool”. We really like the grocery store, Bloom, and our local dry cleaners, and Fox Chase Tavern, but other than […]

Curried Cauliflower and Black Beans (Vegan)
My dial-up connection at home is killing me. I’m waiting for Verizon’s FiOS to come to our street which we were told was happening last summer. Here’s the recipe I made Friday night, Curried Cauliflower and Black Beans. I really liked it. I just happened to have Muir Glen’s Fire […]
