If you haven’t, you surely need to. The Vegan Lunchbox is amazing. I cannot believe the things she packs for her son every day for school. And the amazing part? He EATS it. He DEVOURS it. Incredible. When I look at her blog, I think that I must be doing […]

Today when Abigail came home from school, she walked in, and looked a little sad. I asked her how her day was, and she burst into instant tears. It took a few sobs before she could get out what had happened, but I had to laugh when she finally got […]

I’m sure I will be back later to post something yummy. I just felt like posting on this fine Monday morning. I’m in a very peculiar place today, and it feels good. I am in the wierd position of not having any obligations to anyone other than myself and my […]

When I saw this week that Alysha had chosen Mardi Gras as the theme for this weeks VRC (Virtual Recipe Club), I knew what I had to submit. The idea was to contribute something that was from the city of New Orleans. There are so many things to choose from. […]

I really had high hopes for this dish. One of my favorite FoodTV chefs to watch is Mario Batali, and this was my first attempt at cooking out of his new book, Molto Italiano. While it certainly won’t be the last recipe out of the book, it was a disappointing […]

Recently, there was a fad. To my knowledge, it is in the process of fading, but still a presence nontheless. That fad has simply been known as Deconstruction. The basics of deconstruction are this: you take a recipe we all know and love, take the individual components apart and serve […]

Here comes the bride…No, actually, she walked in to the theme from braveheart. Here are a few more pictures from the wedding. This one is of actual people, not just the food. 🙂 A Pair of Princesses here. I know who my favorite one is… Here is the rest of […]

So sorry if you tuned in here to find out what happened to my celery last night. As it turned out, I spent yet another day with Zander not feeling well, and we spent the day watching Thomas the Tank Engine ALL DAY. So Andy brought home some Buffalo Wild […]

Tonight my attention shifted away from the celery momentarily to focus on the dozens of cherry tomatoes I have sitting around. I chose a very simple recipe from Vegetarian Express by Nava Atlas. It’s really more procedure than recipe, but Parmesan Broiled Cherry Tomatoes turned out very tasty. I sliced […]

Well, the first attempt at celery was not a home run. Today I turned to a cookbook called 1,000 Vegetarian Recipes by Carol Gelles. The few recipes I have made out of this book have been pretty good, so I turned to the soup chapter. Bell Pepper-Celery Soup looked simple […]

So life resumed normalcy today. Almost. It mostly was a lazy day for all of us. Every once in a while Andy or I would head into the kitchen or garage and clean a little something up. But mostly it’s just been a relaxing day. As we were taking inventory […]

Well, they did it. 🙂 Rachel and Cody are now married. I am so unbelievably happy for them. It truly was a joyous occasion. I only was weepy a little bit today. Well, maybe a lot, but it was happy weepy. I had seen Rachel in her wedding dress before, […]
