Boy, oh boy!  This curry is the most amazing curry I have had yet.  I have tried to make many curries in the past and none even come close to this.  A friend gave me (…read more and get the recipe)

Gobi Paratha

July 17th, 2009

Gobi Paratha
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

Sautéed Greens

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 Broth [Updated]

March 15th, 2009

Salt-Free Homemade Chicken Broth Simmering

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)

Zucchini in a Crunchy Parmesan Crust

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

Sweet Potato Risotto

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.
