With a focus on sustainable eating.
So when I originally imagined doing some Halloween inspired pizzas for our twin boys Oscar & Theo I was thinking something a bit more spooky than a pumpkin. Of course, the spooky factor kind of suffered since my “spider legs” were to be built form slices of green peppers. Sadly I failed to double-check we [...]
Pie + Meat = Winning. Adding some Cajun spices to a turkey pot pie definitely caught my attention when searching for things to make this week. This recipe is quite simple, so simple I finally overcame my fear of making homemade pie crust. The filling requires cooked Turkey. I prepared the turkey using this recipe: [...]
I love Biryani. Usually I’ll order it with chicken, but it makes a decent vegetarian option for a Meatless Monday. This simple recipe is worth trying. My only change is use 1 serrano pepper instead of two. We found the two peppers too spicy. Adjust to your preference. Full Recipe: Chickpea Biryani
For all the hate directed at Netflix last year, I still love them. The fact that I can stream so many shows and movies is great and it’s still at an affordable price provided you use the service. I do. I was watching some old Gordon Ramsey shows with one episode that featured him traveling [...]
I finally did some catching up on my Pinterest to-do list. This recipe I found on the site a couple weeks ago. It’s quite simple and only takes about 20 minutes with prep and time cooking. The addition of a light white wine and lemon sauce really brings everything to life. The meal tastes like [...]

In 1993 I took a French Bistro Cooking class that was taught by one of the chefs from The Heathman Restaurant & Bar. It was my first cooking class that led to many other classes that summer. Oddly, the thing I remember most about this particular class was my “helping” with cleanup and rinsing a [...]
I have to admit before moving to a more vegetarian diet, I really didn’t find many uses for squash (or zucchini.) It’s kind of a dull, often mushy vegetable. Fortunately, vegetarian cooking has caused me to rediscover how great squash can be and dishes like this one put the vegetable to good use with minimal [...]
Every Saturday morning the boys and I head to swim class where they learn to navigate the water and I spend time figuring how I’m going to navigate my cooking for the coming week. It’s a great 30 minutes to explore new cooking blogs. One recent find is the blog The Kitchn (Kitchen – minus [...]
Ragu is a maligned word in the pasta world. It usually conjures up the idea of a highly acidic $3 pasta sauce. The word ragu is derived from the French word ragoût, from ragoûter, that means to revive the taste. This recipe is here to revive the name ragu back to its roots of being [...]
