I originally had no intention of posting this Roasted Asparagus recipe. As you can probably imagine, I cook a lot. Which means I make a lot of food.  And try out a lot of recipes. When these recipes are tasty, I share them on this here blog.  When they’re not up to par, I either [...]

Today, I decided to make soup. I kept seeing acorn squash on sale at the store. Teasing me with its simple and sweet acorn squash goodness. Each week, I’d think, “Neh, it’s too hot for soup.” And, each week, I’d pass it by. *Sniff* But, alas, I realized it is almost Autumn.  My goodness, how [...]

Today, I’d like to dedicate some time to the lentil. Yes, the lentil. Is it just me, or does it seem the lentil often gets left out? It certainly does in my house.  When I cook beans, I’ll typically use pinto beans, soy beans, black beans, garbanzo beans (chickpeas) or some other variety, but not [...]

Guacamole can be one of life’s most wonderful foods. All it takes to make The Perfect Guacamole is a few fresh ingredients and some simple guidelines. Let’s discuss the options, shall we? 1.

And, when I say, “one,” I mean Dustin.  As for me, I could probably never get tired of it.   You know how there’s that one side or that one recipe that, somehow, always sounds great for dinner?  Well, steamed asparagus is usually the [...]

Not being able to eat pasta with this new diet has kinda been killing me. Just kinda. I had to turn my creative thinking cap on. Like on super power mode. I came up with zucchini noodles. Yes, zucchini noodles! These are so easy to make and actually replace a traditional pasta pretty darn well. [...]

Ever since I posted the results from my latest poll, Which diet(s) best describe(s) you?, I have been wanting to incorporate more vegetarian recipes into this site. Give the people what they want, right?  Heehee. It’s interesting just how many meals can be made into a “vegetarian meal” just by taking out the meat in [...]

You know how they say there’s only one true love for each of us out there? Well, I feel that way about apricot trees. Yep.  I said apricot trees. Let me explain… You see, I grew up on a 60-acre ranch in a small town.  On that ranch, there was this apricot tree. Now, this [...]
