Pumpkin & Pomegranate

I still read The Homesick Texan, the gateway blog for me. Before Lisa’s blog I had never even had an interested in reading blogs or being a blogger, but she opened my eyes to fantastic homemade refritos and the blogosphere. Most of her recipes are just eye candy as they have ingredients I don’t generally [...]

I started off my day with yet another bowl of gorgeously messy kasha, though today it wasn’t quite as messy as yesterday. I am really loving the PB in my bowl of appley goodness!

Sometimes I can be super duper lazy. I know full well that I can make curry from scratch. Hell, I’ve made Paska and full out Indian meals that took 4 hours to prepare. I have canned, I have made 12 loaves of bread in a weekend for Christmas presents, I have the ability to make [...]

It has been quite chilly up here in the PNW! All I can really think about lately is soup. This particular soup was a bit of a hodgepodge, but ended up tasting REALLY good. So good that I just have to pass it along. I made it for Matt last night, and we ate so [...]

AKA Rain. It’s raining in Seattle again folks. Not that that will surprise anyone, though I do know it makes one Venezuelan beauty a bit teary. Personally I love this weather. I love the rain and what it brings. I am a big fan of moss, and green, and grey skies, cozy coffee shops, mushrooms, [...]

HEAB once again has inspired me. I saw the burgers she blogged about and I hate to Marissify them so I could enjoy them. Many of them.
Enjoy them I did. I know it sounds a tad weird, but they remind me of crab cakes. Not so much that they taste like crab, but the ingredients [...]

I clearly have a thing for theme nights. Since I cannot travel right now, and to be honest it is a tad difficult to travel in most foreign countries when you have dietary restrictions, I choose to bring the country to me. last night was a whirlwind through Morocco! I have been fascinated with Morocco [...]

Saturday night we wanted something warm and filling. We got a bit of a late start due to me thinking football would last longer, and so I took my time in the shower. By the time I got to Matt’s around 9pm he was ready for dinner. Luckily he is a man who loves his [...]

I am a huge dork, let’s just get that out of the way. After making the glorious burgers a couple of weeks ago I decided that I needed to have them again, and SOON. But since Matt thought they were a bit “carroty” for him*(see note) I wanted to come up with a recipe that [...]

As I mentioned in a previous post, I took a day off from work yesterday because my dear friend Elizabeth was in town. I haven’t seen her in nearly 2 years (or maybe almost 3!) so it was SO nice to have her visit. I am just glad her sweet husband had some work in [...]
