Meatless Monday: Scrambled Egg and Potato Breakfast Tacos with Tomatillo Salsa

August 9, 2010

Today’s post is brought to you by the color purple. Yes, purple. I found myself inspired by some Purple Passion Potatoes that Tasteful Selections sent me to experiment with for their recipe contest.

Fromage Friday: Recipes for National Goat Cheese Month

August 6, 2010

Did you know that August is National Goat Cheese Month?  I sure didn’t and it’s practically my signature ingredient.  I guess it shouldn’t suprise me since it seems like there is a national day or month for EVERYTHING.  But since I do love goat cheese, I’m more than happy to celebrate by eating a little extra.

Plant. Water. Eat. Repeat. – Adventures in Urban Gardening & a Recipe Featuring Tomatoes

Creamed Baby Kale & Oven Fried Green Tomatoes

June 15, 2010

I will admit at times I can be a series of contradictions, which can infuriate someone trying to get to know me.  I’ll say one thing and then turn around and say the exact opposite, with barely a breath of separation.  It isn’t that I don’t know myself or that I am being intentionally misleading, I [...]

Rhubarb Chutney and Blue Cheese Toasts

June 8, 2010

Meatless Monday: Mexican-Spiced Chickpea Balls with Avocado Cream

May 31, 2010

A few weeks ago I was out with some new acquaintances and the topic of food and diet came up. It turned out that each of us was making efforts to reduce our meat consumption in our own way. One of my new friends confessed he was running out of ideas for meat-free meals. He [...]
