Returning food to the sacred
I found this recipe a while back in a slow cooker recipe book. It was good, but not great. I made it to the recipe in the book and then quickly set to the task of breaking it down and making it something better. After changing a few things and adding a few others, this […]
A Recipe With A Legendary History The history of Chili or Chili Con Carne in the United States is long and passionate. Whole debates, books, and media wars have occurred over what constitutes a proper bowl of chili, and if you travel through Texas… forget it. People might come to blows over a disputed ‘right’ […]
Stick food. I’m telling you, it’s my latest obsession. This was on of the dishes served at our Housewarming party a week ago. Satay is originally a Java, Indonesian dish made up of any seasoned, skewered and grilled meat, served with a sauce. In truth I’ve come to associate it with Thai cooking, but a […]

A couple of nights ago, Jon and I were invited to attend a drumming circle/kirtan at our friends’ home. It was to be a vegetarian potluck and being that it was snowing something crazy outside, I thought a soup would be perfect. Not only is soup warming, but there is such a nurturing vibe to […]
I have been cooking up a storm in the kitchen, ever since I came off my cleanse. Trying out easy and casual dishes with a bit of a different twist has been my interest lately. Tacos are a favorite here, and I found a recipe for a salsa verde that really inspired me. These tacos […]
