One of the big perks of blogging is being given cookbooks to review (I know you are shocked to hear me say that!). I try to only accept books that I would be interested in at least some of the dishes. You can imagine that I often get offered baking books that I am super…
Shrimp and Chicken Curry with Apples and Basil; Watermelon Sambhar
A lot of the furnishings in my home have been cobbled together from various hand me downs from family members. Recently, John and I decided that we needed a different approach to the girls’ bedrooms, so we made a trip to IKEA. While we were there, we also started thinking about my cookbook problem collection.
Aloo Chana Saag Chicken Curry
Indian curries are rapidly becoming my favorite go-to meal. In addition to their ease of preparation (as a one pot meal), healthiness, and general tastiness, they are also endlessly flexible and adaptable to the season. They can be lighter or heartier. They can be luscious with braised meat or vegetarian or even vegan (or anywhere…
Egg Muffins
The discovery of this recipe has been an absolute game changer for me. I am not a fan of waking up early, I am not a fan of lunch foods, and I am frequently on the go around lunchtime anyway. Between all these issues I frequently end up skipping breakfast and nutritionally skimping on lunch,…
Lentil and Bulghur Soup with Minted Garlic Olive Oil Butter and Camp Memories

Sweet and Salty Beef and Farro Stew with Sweet Potatoes and Coconut Milk
As I sit here staring at a blank screen, I realize I have done it again. I have left writing about this recipe long enough that I do not remember all of my adjustments. On the one hand, I am frustrated. We loved this dish and would consider it a repeater. On the other hand,…
Warm Mushroom and Farro Salad with Skirt Steak
Can anyone guess what my favorite new ingredient is?
Potaje de Vigilia (Spanish Fasting Soup with Beans, Thickened with Bread)
