Yep, that’s an empty bowl. The soup was so good I didn’t get a chance to photograph it! But, I can tell you how easy it is to make. AND the umami flavor hits you on all your senses. You only need 5 or 6 ingredients and 5-10 minutes and you have a great [...]
Sorry it’s been so long since I’ve posted anything, I was under the weather. Glad to be back with y’all! This is a really pleasing and very easy soup to make for a cold winter day. An immersion blender and a heavy soup pot are what you need. You can see that I have a [...]
This recipe has developed over the years, and it it really easy to make. I first found a version of it in a Prevention magazine; very, very plain-kidney beans and no greens, ick! They did not know SW cuisine, so sad. So, I had to take it up several notches. Eat it with Mexican, TEX-MEX [...]
I guess I am on a ‘grain’ kick lately because everything I make for dinner has pasta or rice in it! Frugality rules! This dish is especially nice to take to a gathering. It is easy to make and easy to eat and tastes really good! You can make it in stages and add some [...]

I had a most prolific pear tomato plant that really produced in September/October, but it got too cool to ripen the toms. I pulled all the tomatoes off last week and let them sit to maybe ripen a bit before I turned them into jam. Boy, did they turn out wonderful! See the red [...]
I DID get a bee in my bonnet to make a good soup out of the last of the veggies. WOW! Did the soup come out really tasty or what? It really gets better and better the longer you keep it. Using parmesan cheese rinds adds a lot of flavor to the soup and [...]
When you think of bananas and plantains, something sweet comes to mind. With bananas; well obviously a sweet treat to eat without much hassle when bright yellow. Plantains, on the other hand are eaten fried or cooked after turning dark yellowish brown or even black. Some people may not be aware that both of these can be eaten “green” when their taste is savory, as opposed to sweet. Where I come from we cook green plantains into treats that can substitute french fries as an accompaniment for many entrees. Certain people have asked me how to make tostones, and I will therefore do my best to oblige on tonight’s edition of WFD.
It has turned cold and rainy here in the great PNW and last night I decided to make a favorite at our house, meatloaf stuffed peppers. We got some beautiful large bell peppers at the Oly Farmer’s Market last weekend and had a lovely dinner with our own homegrown salad of spicy arugula, chard and [...]
