Gobi Paratha
July 17th, 2009
I sure love Indian food, and lately I have been experimenting with more and more recipes. I am pretty sure I would be in heaven if I could visit India and enjoy a home-cooked meal (or ten). I have an Indian friend at work who describes some really amazing foods that she makes and her mother makes and I think I drool every time!
Well, I am (…read more and get the recipe)
Sautéed Greens
July 6th, 2009
We just got back from vacation and our garden is teeming with greens. I love greens. Last year I planted kale and collards and I became hooked! What was really amazing about them was that they lasted from early summer until the next spring, when I pulled them up. I couldn’t believe that they survived the snow. Granted it wasn’t that much snow and our climate is very mild, but still!
This year I (…read more and get the recipe)

Homemade Chicken Noodle Soup
March 21st, 2009
This soup turned out SO delicious! Rachel was impressed, I was impressed, what more is there to say? Are you sick? Someone you know? Do you have a craving for a week’s worth of meals done in one batch? Do you have a big gathering of family? You have come to the right place then! If you (…read more and get the recipe)
Homemade Chicken Broth [Updated]
March 15th, 2009
I was making chicken noodle soup the other today and needed some broth, so I went back and looked through my postings to find a recipe. I wasn’t really happy with it so I updated it just a little and am re-posting it here. I hope you enjoy it!
As you may have noticed I don’t use salt that much. I like to use unsalted butter, and I rarely put salt in anything I bake. I found that it is not necessary to add salt in order to have a delicious flavor. When I went on a salt-free kick way back when, I realized that chicken bouillon and store-bought chicken broths have a LOT of sodium (along with pretty much every thing else you buy at the grocery store). So I decided (…read more and get the recipe)

Baked Sweet Meat Squash w/Shallots, Raisins and Walnuts
December 2nd, 2008
With the winter quickly arriving what a better way to treat yourself but with some fabulous winter squash! I enjoy perusing the farmer’s market every week and am always looking for new or creative things to make. A couple of months ago I stumbled upon a small farm that grew winter squash and had a conversation with (…read more and get the recipe)
Zucchini in a Crunchy Parmesan Crust
November 12th, 2008
Can you believe that I still have zucchini growing? Ok, maybe not, but last week I did. I picked three zucchinis and one of them had been there for some time. I can never figure out what to do with the HUGE ones, but Google and this recipe saved the day. Here’s what I did: (…read more and get the recipe)
Sweet Potato Risotto
October 30th, 2008
I am still alive. When my co-workers start mentioning that my blog is going stale, crusty and moldy then I know it is way past time to update! I haven’t really stopped cooking, and in fact there was much that I wanted to share on here but the effort required was too much for me at the time! I think it’s called laziness. Well after a little persuasion I decided to post last night’s dinner — Sweet Potato Risotto. (…read more and get the recipe)
