With a focus on sustainable eating.
It’s been a good month plus since I’ve participated in a Sunday Supper event with my fellow food bloggers. The theme this week is Mother’s Day. I had the perfect recipe picked out after asking my wife what she wanted me to make for her this weekend. She had her eye, or is it [...]
After a couple weekends of back-to-back smoked meats, I was due for a Saturday and Sunday of vegetarian meals. Last night was some great Asparagus Risotto. Following up last night’s meal, I had some beautiful swiss chard from the La Canada Farmers’ Market that needed to get used. This dish was a perfect way [...]
I love risotto. It is incredibly flexible where a wide variety of combinations can combine to create some amazing dishes. In fact, last month when I was in Chicago for work I was in a cooking competition. Our team had flank steak, bell peppers, and potatoes as our ingredients. I led our team choosing between [...]
This week’s Sunday Supper is all about the Skinny. One thing that has helped keep our family less-thick was our move to more vegetarian meals. Most of our decision to go vegetarian 3-4 times a week came from Mark Bittman’s New York Times article “The Meat Guzzler.” Besides the benefit of eating less meat and its more [...]
This is what I was going to make for last week’s #SundaySupper theme celebrating the One Year Anniversary of what “Family Foodie” Isabel started out as a friendly twitter conversation talking about what people were cooking on Sunday evenings. I loved the early chats, since Sunday was a guaranteed day I’d be in the kitchen [...]
I was definitely coming down with something and knew a good hearty soup would help get me through a couple days of sickness. Sadly by the following day when I finally made it to the doctor I found out the flu that has become an epidemic was what I had. This soup definitely helped; though, [...]
UPDATE: I watched the show this week. It’s a train wreck. Bad directing. Bad jokes. Obnoxious expressions. Tons of stupid gimmicks. This show will not last. It is painful to watch unless someone decides to rework it and make it more about the food instead of trying to be funny and cool. Oh well, [...]
Growing up with an Italian mother, well 3/4 Italian and 1/4 French, made for some pretty amazing meals that a young boy never could truly appreciate. However, there was one dish my mom was famous for: Lasagna. It was a staple of the holidays at our home. She definitely took a lot of pride making [...]
Before last Sunday I had no clue what a Pear Zucchini was so don’t worry if you do not either. You can substitue any vegetable here. A ‘normal’ green zucchini or yellow squash is fine or skip both and add cauliflower and/or broccoli. Basically this is anything you want it to be. However, if you [...]
“So how do they taste?” I ask my wife as I sit down at the table. “Zucchini-y,” she responds. “They’re good. Just lots of zucchini.” Well these cakes, patties, fritters do have quite a bit of zucchini in them. I do recommend patting the shredded zucchini with some paper towel to remove the moister so [...]
