Yummy in your tummy
Let me just start my saying these are in NO WAY comparable to the amazingness that is the fish taco in Baja. There is just no re-creating that magic. I swear, if I could eat one single food for the rest of my life, it would be the real deal fish tacos from any street vendor south …
I recently returned from an amazing trip out west. Tom and I did a 6 day backpack around the 3 Sisters in Oregon, which was breathtakingly beautiful. We hiked through fields of purple, red, and yellow subalpine wildflowers with glaciated peaks as our constant companions. We hiked past lakes, both blue and green, raging …
I realize Mexican food is normally associated with warm, sunny places, but sometimes, in the dead of winter, all I want are gobs of beans, rice, cheese and slow cooked meats. It feels like comfort food to me, and, because of the lime, cilantro, and spice (my favs), I’m pretty sure I could eat Mexican …
If this meal had a tag-line, it would be: ‘the easy take-out meal for when you’re busy and take-out is not an option’. And here, take-out is definitely not an option. Although there are a couple of pretty good-sized towns 15 minutes to the north and south of us, there is no place near us …
Confession: I’ve tried at least 5 different ways of making quinoa cakes over the last couple months and all were lackluster in taste, their ability to hold together as patties, or both. Despite continued disappointment, I would crave them — or some idealized, tantalizing version of them — so I’d try again…and again. Last night it …
Yep. I guess it’s about time to start putting food up for the winter. A bunch of my basil plants were on their way out so…pesto! One of these recipes is traditional pesto, but without the cheese. I make it often and never miss the cheese — super yummy! The other recipe, roasted red …
Pizza is a sensitive topic among those of us from the New Haven area. There is a constant war between the patrons of two pizza places, both famed for their thin crust pizza, on Wooster Street. There are those who claim Sally’s Apizza is the best pizza and those who would give that title to Peppe’s. Neither side …
I’ve had this super yummy slaw many a time over the last year. Its quick to make, totally delicious, and gets you most of your veggies for the day. But the addition of grilled tofu really puts it over the top. I had never grilled tofu before. It just never occurred to me. And when …
All I have to say about this one is yum. The flavors are so fresh and bright and the lemon really brings out the best of the garlic and capers. Its great for a quick and satisfying dinner. I ate it for dinner the last two nights and could eat it again tonight if …
Even though it’s the middle of winter and we’re supposed to get a foot of snow tomorrow, this dish had me thinking of fall. Winter squash, crispy tart apples, kale. And as I was eating it, I realized how amazing this dish would be as a side to some farm raised pork chops.
