WOW! Is this a good combination of veggies or what? I am recovering from a jammed right thumb (gardening accident) and Sweetie was kind enuff to chop and dice all of these goodies. We got the golden beets from our friends Josh and Melissa at Newaukum Valley Farm. They always have the best things at [...]

This was a surprise of a great dinner. Sweetie and I love Middle Eastern foods that sprout all over to the East, West, North and South. Fusion is good here. So, we have falafel and yogurt mint sauce, lentils and rice and golden onions, and an edamame salad. These flavors go together so well and [...]

A really nice, easy dish that goes together with things in your pantry and freezer and comes out of the oven in 45 minutes smelling and tasting wonderful! I used frozen blueberries from last years crop and some frozen lemon zest and juice. You can easily “take to” or “give to” this dish. This cookbook [...]

I made a big Southern picnic dinner the other day for a party and had some of the fried chicken left over. I wanted something that would do for lunches as Sweetie was working all week at the school. I have never really liked most chicken salads I have come across-too sweet and too sloppy. [...]
I had some veggies left over from making stuffed peppers the other day and some egg roll wrappers that needed using, so, what’s the logical conclusion? That’s right! Indian samosas and fruited rice!

I love stuffed peppers! My Mother made green bell peppers stuffed with ground beef and other goodies in the pressure cooker with a little meatloaf left over. I did that, too. I wanted something more this time, not the typical “meatloaf”. I had a bag of bell peppers from Costco that I needed to use, [...]
I have a 50 LB bag of jasmine rice currently sitting in my kitchen. We are only two, but we are splitting this bag with another couple, and that should last us for most of the year. Yes, we use alot of rice….”we’re rice men”* after all! I absolutely love all kinds of rice like [...]
