It’s Friday which means another guest post! Only one more week of this though–then I have to start blogging more myself. Eek! Still don’t know how people do this with two kids. Today I have Vijay,  the Editor and “Chief Nosher” at NoshOn.It, which in his words is “a daily email to inspire you to [...]

I should begin by saying I never, ever, ever make chili the same way twice. I’m not one of those people who has a “tried and true” recipe or one I’m known for. My white chili? Different story. Don’t get me wrong–it’s always good (if I do say so myself), it’s just not one of [...]

The pregnant version of me is not always a meat lover. Especially when that meat is prepared by me. I just can’t stomach it. However, when the pregnant version of me doesn’t get enough protein, there are killer headaches and crankiness involved. Okay, if we’re being open and honest here–perhaps the headaches and crankiness would [...]

I like factoids. Remember the butter factoids from Friday? Today I’m bringing you olive oil factoids from Bertolli. Olive trees were grown as early as 1200 BC in Italy. There are 800 million olive trees in the world. An olive tree lives for between 300-600 years. An average olive tree produces about 40 pounds of [...]

Chicken Tortilla Soup

April 30, 2012

Hi Friends! I’ve been in sort of a food blogger funk lately where I’m more in the mood to do…umm….nothing rather than blog. But here I am! This soup is easy to throw together, even when you don’t feel like doing anything. Plus it is healthy and delicious. I adapted it from Everyday Food Light, [...]

Smokey Roasted Tomato Soup

January 6, 2012

Is anything better on a chilly day than a hot bowl of homemade tomato soup? Throw a heavy blanket on, grab a bowl of soup (I like to eat it out of a big mug) and curl up in front of a fireplace with a can’t-set-it-down book and you’re good to go.

Pasta with Chicken Sausage, Mushrooms, Mozzarella, Tomatoes, Spinach and Basil

October 19, 2011

I didn’t want to leave anything out in the title–I’m in love with all the ingredients in this dish. I quite often buy chicken sausage when I go to the store. It isn’t usually part of my “menu plan” for the week. I buy it for these days:

Black Bean and Avocado Dip (or Salad)

July 1, 2011

This stuff is good. Really, really good. And the great thing about it is that it is easy to make and versatile. So versatile in fact, that as I went through my list of categories to find a place for this recipe, I found it fitting in so many categories: Appetizers, lunches, main dish, salad, [...]

Latest Lunch Obsession

April 30, 2011

I’m definitely a person who goes through phases with food. I’ll eat the same thing for days, or even weeks on end. Then I’ll get bored and start eating something new. This only applies to breakfast, lunches, and snacks. Dinner is something different every night. Except about once a week when we get Lebanese carry-out. [...]

Pizza Baked Pasta

April 13, 2011

Leftover pepperoni and leftover mozzarella from this, leftover pasta from this….hmm, lunch anyone? This would be a great dinner too, it would be worth buying ingredients just for this. Or you could go ahead and make all three dishes, that would work fine too! This is another recipe that you can customize and go many [...]
