Pasta Night.. nah Pasta Week!
Am I the only one with carb cravings? Luckily the benefits of pasta are two-fold, 1) super fast prep time and well, 2) it’s pasta! Two times this week I needed to come up with a quick late night dinner with items from the cupboard and veggie drawer. This first recipe, Linguine with Wild Mushroom […]

As my niece would say - “Today is the Best Day EVER!”
So we’re getting to the point where birthdays aren’t supposed to be a big deal…but my friends and family insist on making it the best day ever! It was a normal work day sprinkled with friendly emails, phone calls, and flowers from Mom & Chris. I didn’t make any plans tonight because I thought we […]

What is Your Favorite Bean?
My husband and I were talking about our favorite beans last week. (I forget how this came up). We both decided that our favorite bean is the garbanzo bean. This is the only bean that I could eat every day and enjoy it, on a salad, blended into hummus, and of course falafel. I guess […]

Over the Rainbow Chard
I’m a week behind on posting. I realized that this blog is turning almost exclusively into a food blog…which is not good or bad. I think Steph and I will be sitting down at some point to play around with the blog a little more. Cooking just happens to be one of my favorite […]

Food for a Lazy Weekend & Busy Week
Last weekend was cold and gloomy. I was really tired and worn out probably because I was still recovering from my most recent bout of annoying sickness (rhymes with “mingles”) so I stayed in, rested, read, watched football, and spent some time cooking. I really enjoy cooking especially when I have time to experiment and […]

Beer & Clamato - Yum…Maybe
Here’s an interesting tidbit about a new beer cocktail coming out from Anheuser Busch. I used to be a beer drinker until about 5 years ago when somehow for unknown reasons I became a wine drinker, favoring wine over beer at parties and dinners. I’ve never really been able to drink liquor/cocktails without getting a […]

I should be going to bed, but I’m already in front of the computer so I figured I’d post the last of the recipes I made during my absence from blogging. Now I have fully caught the blog up with everything I’ve cooked so I can start 2008 with a clean slate.
Wegman’s Spicy Red Lentil […]

New Year’s Resolutions, Moroccan Flavors, and Monthly Fruit
A couple of my New Year’s resolutions, among others, are to make more time for myself to do the things I enjoy: exercise, cook, blog, oh and I also want to try to save money too. Full of New Year’s spirit, I chose my recipes on Sunday, RO went grocery shopping Monday, and we cooked […]

Sweating Miss Mary
It is fair to say that my friends and I SWEAT* Mary J. Blige…I mean we know all or parts of every album, we know the words to almost every song (with a few favorites of course). * For the blog readers that did not go to Herndon High School and/or grow up in […]

Sing it Kermie!!
I was just reading Green Daily using my new love - Google Reader (more about that later). This post, The Unknown Environmentalist, made me feel pretty good about my “green” habits and also made me think about how I could do better. I am certainly not a super environmentalist but I’m trying to do small […]
