I know, a lot of people would prefer to use meat hotdogs. But a veggie dog is pretty darned good if you dress it up a bit. Since tonight is a soccer game when we need a quick dinner, and since we’ve got veggie dogs and buns in the freezer, we’re planning to cook theContinue reading “Ultimate Veggie Dogs”

Persimmon Frozen Yogurt
Looking for an orange alternative to pumpkin in the fall? Look no further than persimmons. These small autumn fruit start out firm at the beginning of the season. By now, the ones we bought a few week ago were turning soft and mushy, but that’s when they’re at their sweetest best, if a little messy.Continue reading “Persimmon Frozen Yogurt”
More Okrafusion
This afternoon I found another good recipe for okra. Searching online for recipes, I came across what appears to be a Malaysian recipe for okra and fried egg. After reading a couple of variations, I decided it would be fun to try, though of course, I lacked a few ingredients so had to make do. AndContinue reading “More Okrafusion”
Okra Fusion
If you live in the South and have a garden, know someone who has a garden, or visit your local farmer’s market regularly (as we do), then chances are you are awash in okra this time of year. We love this slimy little vegetable, but even so, the steady supply can sometimes be a bitContinue reading “Okra Fusion”
Brussels’ Hidden Gems 1
Everyone knows that in Brussels you visit the Grote Markt (Grand Place), look for the Manneke Pis, and maybe stop by the Atomium, but if you have more than a day, here are a few things you really should try. First and foremost, enjoy the food! Belgium is well-known for chocolates (believe me, the moreContinue reading “Brussels’ Hidden Gems 1”
Spiced Cocoa Pecan Recipe
I’ve made these a couple of times with a few additions (the butter and granulated sugar) the second time. Either way worked del and is very easy to do. This recipe is a bit of a combination of what I did. I got the idea from a recipe I found online, but adapted it. TheContinue reading “Spiced Cocoa Pecan Recipe”
Savory 3 Cheese, Herb, and Nut Mini Muffins
This recipe was first made for the MUW Sigma Tau Delta initiation ceremony this year. It is heavily adapted from the Basic Whole Wheat Muffin recipe in Ed Brown’s original Tassajara Bread Book, along with the Tassajara Cooking one of my original cooking bibles that I get out occasionally when I really need a basicContinue reading “Savory 3 Cheese, Herb, and Nut Mini Muffins”
Carrot Loaf with Mushroom Gravy
Tonight was one of those “cook what’s in the fridge” nights. Carrots were destined to be a main ingredient, and since it turned out pretty good, I thought I’d write down what Aidan and I did. Half an onion One clove of garlic 1/4 cup fresh cilantro 5 carrots (give or take) 1 cup orContinue reading “Carrot Loaf with Mushroom Gravy”
Soup and Salad (in one bowl) Recipe
One of our favorite winter meals is homemade soup. It’s so easy that it’s hard to imagine buying soup in a can. This recipe is a variation on one soup we love, a white bean and pasta soup. Virtually any combination of vegetables will do. Broth isn’t really necessary with a bean soup, just saltContinue reading “Soup and Salad (in one bowl) Recipe”
Valentine Variation (Ginger Beets)
This evening for Valentine’s Day, I decided to reprise the Ginger Beets recipe with a few slight variations. Mainly, I added rutabaga, chard, cilantro, and broccoli. Most of this came from our local farmer — only the broccoli was from the store. Mushroom soy sauce helps the sauce, since it is so dark. And IContinue reading “Valentine Variation (Ginger Beets)”
