Note: I just got a Mac (yay!) and it doesn’t work with my usual blogging program so I’m trying to figure out how to get my pretty layouts back. In the meantime, I leave you with this poorly laid out post that I can’t figure out how to fix. Whoopsie! I’m slightly embarassed to hit [...]

I took my inspiration for last night’s dinner from – surprise surprise! – Eating Well. Would you expect anything else from me? The recipe was for Wild Mushroom & Barley Risotto and I knew right away I’d use my rice cooker instead of standing over the stove stirring my night away over a pan of [...]

 I have two bags of Bob’s Red Mill bulgur in my kitchen and wanted to make a dent in them. In the past I’ve made tabouli with bulgur, using the easy soak method. But I found bulgur was just as easy to cook when I made a modified version of Eating Well’s Mustard Greens & [...]

Last night I made a top 10 dinner. Ok so I’m not really keeping tabs on my best ever homemade meals, but if I were, I really think this is definitely one of the best meals I’ve ever made. I have to give most of the credit to my favorite food magazine, Eating Well for inspiring this [...]

When it comes to food, some might consider me a hoarder. Not in the creepy-old-moldy-food-in-every-crevice-of-the-house way. But in the stash-this-in-the-freezer/cabinet/cupboard-in-case-we-one-day-want-to-eat-it way. Sometimes I freeze meals for a day I don’t want to cook and find them hiding in the back of my freezer covered in frost. Or I recently discovered that I have not one [...]

The other night I had the ingredients on hand to make a simple stir fry. I followed an Eating Well recipe for Tofu & Broccoli Stir Fry and I didn’t plan on blogging about it, because you’ve seen simple stir frys here before. But about halfway through cooking, I realized: This stir fry is amazing! [...]

I haven’t been grocery shopping in over a month (gasp!) while Funk has taken over the task. Usually I’m inspired to make meals while perusing the Trader Joe’s aisles, but lately with my hurt hip I’ve had to just jot down random ingredients on our grocery list that I think we’ll need or enjoy over [...]

Happy New Year! Welcome to 2010! I hope your year is off to a great start. We had a blast ringing in the New Year with friends in New Hampshire for the weekend. It was a wonderful winter wonderland, cozy with two fireplaces, a hot tub, and good friends. Since there were 10 of us [...]

Cauliflower is one of those veggies I love eating, cooked or raw. But I never seem to remember to buy it, as much as I enjoy it. So I picked up a head of cauliflower the other day intent on using it in a new recipe. I found an easy sounding, one-pot recipe for Cauliflower [...]

Over the weekend, I had Girls’ Night In with some of friends. These friends are four of Boston’s newest Registered Dietitians – congrats ladies on passing the exam! Spending the evening with some food savvy friends, I knew I had to show up with a flavorful and healthy dish to add to dinner. I found [...]
