Certain things give me ridiculous joy. One such thing is knowing what we're going to have for dinner AND having it ready when I arrive home. Walking through the doorway to a welcoming, fragrant aroma is divine. I also have to admit, that not being...
This time it started with broccoli. We received some incredible organic broccoli in our most recent delivery. I wanted to build a recipe around this green goodness. Recalling a funny comment from my friend Joanna about her family wanting old-school veggies with cheese sauce, and knowing my...
Remember those sesame crisps we enjoyed as kids? I loved those teeth-breaking treats! I recently had a craving for sesame seeds, and I'm convinced it's nature's way of telling me I need more calcium in my diet. I'm a bit wary of calcium supplements. There is...
I've been loving granola lately. I think perhaps it's nature's way of steering me away from smoothies on a daily basis. Don't get me wrong; smoothies are still a staple of my diet, but I also think it's a good idea to switch things up...
Remember old-school stuffed mushroom caps? You know, the ones loaded with breadcrumbs and cheese? Feeling a bit nostalgic as 2016 was winding down, I thought I'd make some mushroom caps stuffed with something a tad more nourishing than the beleaguered bread crumb. Enter quinoa. A key...
Robb's sister, Heather, recently gifted us with some black bean pasta. It's a terrific gluten-free, high-protein option for pasta lovers. The box that it came in had a yummy sounding recipe, which we used as inspiration for this week's recipe. Of course, I couldn't leave...

On my longer days at the studio, I try to make something substantial and healthy in our kitchen upstairs. Unfortunately, there were slim pickings in the fridge. Some romaine, celery and zucchini that were barely holding on, and an avocado on the brink of turning....
As many of you know, we enjoy receiving organic produce from two local delivery services: Organicslive, and The Kitchen Garden Farm. They are both locally owned and operated, and we are impressed with their dedication to serve their customers well. Our most recent delivery included lots of root vegetables:...
Quinoa has certainly been the darling of the superfood world the last several years, and, while not to diminish the health benefits of quinoa, it's not the only game in town! There are other seeds, with grain-like qualities that you may wish to consider to...
I'm writing this as I enjoy a nice, warm cup of Holy Basil tea, and I can't help but think that I never would have thought that I'd be sharing a soup recipe in the middle of May! Climate change sure is bringing us tumultuous...
