It’s a rainy Sunday afternoon with thunder in the background. Thunderstorms are one of my absolute most favorite things ever. My poor dog has every noise possible coming from her belly today and has eaten grass three times. I don’t know what to expect later. I’m hoping for the best. Sunday is one of my… Continue reading California breakfast skillet
Vegetarian Hoppin’ John… what?! What about the sausage (or ham, or bacon)? Seriously, you guys, this is so good that I don’t think you’ll miss the sausage. Not even a little. It’s perfect for days like today–cold and rainy. It’s hearty and comforting, and I’m all about some comfort food! I’m very traditional. I used… Continue reading Vegetarian Hoppin’ John Soup

And Mardi Gras is just around the corner. I won’t be going, but my food thoughts tend… Continue reading Turnip the Heat…it’s almost Mardi Gras!
You know one of the things I love? Comfort food, especially potatoes! I wish you were here, darlings, to try these savory mashed potatoes that I whipped up. Poor potatoes–they get such a bad reputation. You would not believe the vast number of reasons people leave these off their plates–they have carbs; they’re white; they… Continue reading Mashed Potatoes–A Classic with a Twist
So I’m sitting here in my pj’s having coffee & dreaming of this beautiful, nutritious salad I’ve wanted to share with you for weeks now. It’s just too good to keep to myself, and I hope you love it. If you have never tried Savoy cabbage, you don’t know what you’ve been missing! A little… Continue reading Apple, Walnut, and Savoy Cabbage Salad
