Pumpkin & Pomegranate

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 [...]

Yes it’s a little late for Fat Tuesday, but those who do not fast for Lent don’t really care. Then again it is MEATLESS jambalaya, so I be the Pope would approve anyway! Meatless doesn’t mean flavorless. Grain free doesn’t mean you are giving something up. This stuff was mighty tasty. The only thing I [...]

This is not a blog to boast about what a wonderful Valentine’s Day I had (though it was the best I have ever had), it is more a reminder to me of why I eat the way I do, and hey if you want to feel better yourself you might just test it out for [...]

I haven’t always been a fan of Indian food. When I was younger I tried some from a buffet and did not appreciate the spice combination so I shunned it for years. I am an adult now, and I recognize that I may have been overhasty. There is such variety in Indian cuisine I couldn’t [...]

Zahrah is Arabic for “Blooming Flower”, and that is a beautifully descriptive name to give such a wonderful dish. For New Years Eve dinner Matt took me to this great little restaurant in Bellevue. For those not familiar with the area, Bellevue is East of Seattle, on the other side of Lake Washington. We had [...]

I had to try out my new harissa spice mix from World Spice Merchants. I liked it so much in this stew that I am going back this weekend to buy some more blends. I wish the internet was fitted with smell-o-vision, I would stream live from my kitchen and you all would have drool [...]

Whoever invented the oven, I could kiss you! I have been really into my roasted veggies this week and I just had to share yet another photo straight from the oven!
That is 1 delicata squash, 1 bunch broccolini, and 1 bulb of garlic, roasted to perfection in some extra virgin olive oil. Perfect Fall dinner [...]

I had a wonderful photo of my Brussels sprouts on Thanksgiving, but unfortunately I accidentally deleted it while I was transferring photos from my camera to my computer. So Sad! So I had to make do with a photo of my Thanksgiving plate (sorry that it is a repeat!). I never liked Brussels sprouts until [...]

I am a bit in shock that it is already December. Luckily for me today in Seattle the weather is gorgeous, unluckily for me it is a Tuesday and so I am stuck inside at my desk until the sun goes down.
Last night I was talking to Tiffany on the phone, she was helping me [...]
