Pumpkin & Pomegranate

I bet you all thought I had run away and joined the circus :-) I went through quite a rough period, 2 breakups in a span of 4 months. A huge amount of growing, soul searching, etc. and now I am actually feeling like blogging again. There has been a lot going on with me. [...]

I get a CSA box, and I also find myself wandering aimlessly through the farmers markets pretty frequently. Rarely do I have a recipe when I go, and I don’t ever know what my CSA box will have it it until the day it arrives. So usually I just pull random things out of the [...]

I have been mulling over pizza crust ideas for some time now. I love pizza. I love it for dinner, but I think I might like even more for breakfast. I have tried various other pizza crusts and none of them really hit the spot. I did the almond flour crust, which was good but [...]

It is amazing what you can do with some random items in your fridge. Yes ladies and gentlemen (though I think I have very few gentlemen readers….odd that.) this is another post about what I can stick into a raw collard green leaf. This time it is leftover fava bean dip from last Friday night, [...]

A little housekeeping note. I am going to start replying to most of the comments in the comment section rather than e-mailing everyone separately. I will still do that from time to time too, but often the reply is something that others might benefit from, so don’t think I ignored you if you don’t get [...]

I have some odd little quirks. For some reason I LOVE when I get down to the bare bones in my pantry/fridge/freezer, and I equally love stocking it back up! Lately I have just not been in the mood to drag my butt to the store, and so it has been a bit of the [...]

A few months ago there was an episode of No Reservations on the Azores. I had never even heard of the Azores and found it fascinating. I also haven’t been able to get their kale soup out of my mind, so when Matt mentioned a sore throat and that he would like soup for dinner [...]

I mentioned in a previous post that I am supposed to eat seaweed everyday. I love seaweed salad, but they usually have sugar in them. So do many of the roasted nori snacks, and I don’t find just plain seaweed to be all that palatable. I was at Whole Foods last Saturday and came across [...]

I have mentioned before that I often don’t post because I eat a lot of the same stuff over and over again and that gets repetitive for everyone. But I thought I’d just post what I made for dinner the other night. I was eating alone and so I tend to make a lot of [...]
