There are so many things that I love about Thanksgiving, after all it is a holiday centered on food. It’s a time when families and friends gather together and mostly enjoy the holiday. A holiday steeped in tradition. I’ve done my share of experimenting with different flavors and dishes. Sometimes the new flavors were stunners, […]
Every year I teach a Turkey 101 class, we cover all you need to know about preparing the star of the show for Thanksgiving. For class we deep fry a turkey, usually McGyver is out in the freezing cold (this year it was 4°F) while I jabber on about turkeys and the attributes of boxed […]
Can you believe that Thanksgiving is but a week away? I’m so very excited for this Thanksgiving! My dearest friend Jen and her boy Jake are driving from Spokane, WA to spend Thanksgiving with us. It is monumental to me; she’s as much family as any of my own. Let’s see, the last time that […]
/I see on Facebook many of my friends are listing something they are grateful for, some of it is important and some is silly like “I’m grateful for cornflakes” but the sentiment is what’s important.

However when I wanted to go out for something special it was Indian. I would hazard to guess that next to India, England has the […]
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 […]
The rumors on the web about me are true! My Secret Club Recipe assignment this month is, Thrifty Veggie Mama. Before I delve into SRC recipe stuff for this month, I have a funny little story involving Thrifty Veggie Mama. One day I was heading home from running errands and my phone did the tada […]
Sometimes I just know what I want, I crave it, think about it, plan it, prepare it and eventually devour it with delight. Other times, it’s all about whatever I have left in the fridge that absolutely needs to be used up. Other times, meal decisions are based on time, and way too many times […]
