Anything else I think you should try.
Last week or so I posted a little ditty about quinoa, what it is and how to cook it, etc. One thing most people do with it is to add it to a salad. One of my all-time favorite salads is at the California Pizza Kitchen. Called ‘Quinoa & Arugula Salad’, it’s just as advertised,…only […] Read more…
About a week ago, my girlfriend posed that question to her band of sistahs on a Facebook post. There were lots of parmesan variations and baked and even grilled varieties. I made my contribution but alas, she’s not a fan of veggies in general so that makes things tricky. The other day I got my […] Read more…
The Wiki people describe it as the seed of a grain crop. Really? I thought it was one of these ‘ancient grains’. I guess not. Although, it is ancient. Then why has it taken soooo long to get here? Who knows. I’m just glad it did. This is a wonder/super food. It’s high in protein, […] Read more…
Who loves a cheeseburger in paradise?! Yes, me too!! But alas, my backside can’t handle me eating anything with the combination of both ‘cheese’ and ‘burger’ in the name. My guys on the other hand are burger freaks! A bit ago we did up some burgers on the grill and they looked at me with […] Read more…
Anyone who knows me knows I have terrible knees. Always have. If I spend too much time on the dance floor (usually prompted by an excess of my friend ‘vodka’,…at least he doesn’t tell me I can sing), I pay for it with huge, ugly swollen knees the following day. Swollen, like can’t wear jeans […] Read more…
Yes, I’m crushing on a martini ! I’m allowed, I’m a big girl. I’m also a fan of the LemonDrop or lemon martini, but where I live getting a good one is difficult. For whatever reason the minute you add any juice to a martini the barkeep assumes you want some overly sweet, sugar rimmed […] Read more…
This is a post for my young friend (the lovely Ms.M) who shares my love of this horrifically addictive treat. I promise I’ll get to some healthy posts later – next week. Where did I get such a ridiculous name as ‘Chocolate Crack? If The Milk Bar in NYC can sell ‘Crack Pie’ (for $44!) […] Read more…
Last evening I went to a little get together with my girlfriends. The price of admission was a covered dish – I got this! A few weeks ago, I made this rice dish and served it along side some grilled flank steak. It was so good – I thought it’d be great with some chopped […] Read more…
It’s so hot out – I can’t wait for Fall. – I think I’ll just go there in my mind a while – I love Fall, cool weather, fire-pit nights, pumpkins everywhere (and you know I love pumpkin), and food laced with maple syrup… Besides loving all things pumpkin, I love, nearly, all things maple. Western […] Read more…
The other day I found myself back at our local farm-stand, Frazier Farms. This time it wasn’t just corn I was after. I’d gotten an email that they had Conch Peas! Fresh conch peas are a Southern specialty and very hard to come by. They’re delicate and only available fresh for a short time each […] Read more…
