A collections of recipes by category.
I really wish that I could share a taste of the food that I post about it; a taste replaces a thousand words. Sometimes I struggle trying to articulate how incredible a recipe is. I find myself consistently falling back on yummy, delicious, tasty, awesome, etc. Sometimes I get so desperate that I make up […]
I’ve really taken advantage of this summer, like no other. Twenty two years in the military, three years in management, a year of floundering around, and school last year and really never the time to really enjoy a summer. This year I feel as if I’m headed on a path, my keel starting to even […]
Who loves Chinese take-out? I do, I do! Actually I love Chinese take-out, Chinese to-go, Chinese sit-down, and on rare occasion a good Chinese buffet. What I don’t love is super greasy Chinese, which seems to be the standard in my local area. We recently had a decent Chinese restaurant called Umami open downtown; it’s […]
This past week has been all about catch up. It’s great to take some time off and travel but many things build up while your gone. This week has seemed like an endless array of laundry, email and yard work. The weeds, gah, they seemed to be prolific…how do they know when the cats […]
My roots are all seafood. I grew up the daughter of a Navy diver turned commercial fisherman. I was tortured as a young child and was forced to eat scallops, geoduck, crab, sea cucumbers, abalone, ling cod, octopus, and a variety of other seafood. It depended on what my dad was diving for at the […]
Do you have any big plans for Independence Day? We are making our annual trek to Westport, Wahington for the ‘old time’ 4th of July and visiting with family, it’s kind of mini reunion time for us. Our greatest happiness does not depend on the condition of life in which chance has placed us, but […]
Last month for Secret Recipe Club I got Mangia! an Italian blog. I was so excited, any excuse to make Italian food is fine with me. Then I made Double Chocolate Almond Joy Pretzel cookies. So not Italian, but oh so delicious. For my assignment this month I got Cookin with Moxie, Jamie lives in […]
When I lived in Europe, Asparagus was a revered vegetable. The season started in May and ended around Mid-Summer’s day. In England they treasured nice meaty stalks (but not woody), in Germany the white asparagus was on every menu and in France and Italy the small dainty little asparagus showed up salads, pastas and any […]
If only I could give you the sun and earth, I would. But, I can’t. What I can share with you is probably, no not probably, definitely the best chocolate orange muffins I’ve ever ate. I made these for our Community Gardens grand opening which I mentioned in my last SRC post Double Chocolate […]
Last month I taught a cooking class, it was Mexican cooking. Not your standard heavy Tex-Mex loaded with cheese, sauces and sour cream. Our theme was Mexi-light, Mexi-easy, Mexi-delicious. We started off with the basics, salsa and guacamole and then things got better. Taking my cues from Baja and the Yucatan region we started off […]
