We generally get most of our produce through a local co-op. It is kind of fun, wondering what we will be getting the next week. It’s always different too, so the implied question each week is ‘what are we going to make this week?’ So when I saw beets, cabbage,…
Not a Recipe: Meatloaf
Everyone needs a good meatloaf recipe up their sleeve. Especially when its cold outside and all you want is to curl up in a ball and eat comfort food (please, please tell me that’s not just me!?!). When I make meatloaf I require 2 thing of it: 1. That I…
White Bean Chicken Chili
It’s that time of year again. Game time. Or if you are like me, it’s the time of year when you watch that one game, mostly for the commercials, but hope it’s a good game anyway. And since it is still early in the year and we haven’t abandoned all…
Lemon Rice Soup
Lemon Rice Soup probably conjures a vision of the gloopy, thick and congealed version that you find as an afterthought in the Greek diner around the corner. This is NOT that soup. Brothy, rich and tangy with lots of fresh cracked pepper, this is my go-to, cure-all, it’s cold out…

Pork Pibil – Mexican Pulled Pork
One of my go to dishes at our favorite local Mexican restaurant is their Cochinita Pibil. I enjoy it almost every time we go there. I only learned what it was from watching a Robert Rodriguez film where Johnny Depp’s character orders the dish everywhere he goes. In the DVD extras,…
Bacon & Eggs Capellini with Caramelized Onions
I am am a dedicated pasta lover. I sing the praises of a good marinara. My Butter Parsley Pasta Sauce holds a regular spot on our meal rotation. In a word, good pasta is my friend. My favorite pasta dish is probably Pasta Carbonara – the rich pancetta and egg yolk…
Pumpkin Sage Chili
One of our family traditions that I didn’t get into until recently really, is that my parents used to make chili for dinner every year on Halloween. I think there was a texture thing I couldn’t get past as a kid.But before we would go out trick or treating, we…
