Meat Stuffed with Cheese: Valentine’s Day 2012
February 19, 2012New Year, New Recipe!
January 2, 2012Okay, I really made this in 2011, but it’s still a winner. It’s also really simple and quick to make. The original recipe is from Real Simple December 2011. The changes I made are minimal and really just less pepper than the recipe called for in the magazine. Too much pepper gets caught in Bea’s [...]
You Win Some, You Lose Some
December 20, 2011I’m not someone who often eats chocolate, but I do enjoy chocolate and mint together, especially around this time of year. I happened to purchase the latest issue of Rachael Ray’s magazine a few weeks ago and noted a delicious looking cookie recipe that involved surrounding a york peppermint patty with chocolate cookie dough. Just [...]
Summer fruits
August 30, 2011It’s warm! It’s sunny! It’s finally summer around here! Hooray! One of the great things about where we live, and our neighborhood specifically, is the availability of free blackberries during this time of year.

Don’t Eat All the Avocado
August 16, 2011Something you may or may not already know about me is that I really like avocado.

I like avocado with [...]

Recipe of the Week: Rhubarb Salad with Goat Cheese
May 31, 2011As I’ve mentioned before, rhubarb was never my favorite thing as a child, but it has truly started to become more appealing as of late. I believe this is because I can get rhubarb for free. I like free. I like free quite a bit! I wish I’d had the foresight to take a before [...]
Recipe of the Week: Pepperoni, Potato and Broccoli Rabe Pizza
May 26, 2011This past Friday, we had my great friend J over for a little adventure and some dinner. It was sunny! It was warm! We went to our local nursery where we perused the offerings for both indoor and outdoor plants and generally enjoyed the last of the warm spring sun. It should also be noted [...]

Recipe of the Week (take 2): Spinach and Quinoa Muffins
February 25, 2011My sister and her friend Tracey have a power breakfast they’ve created and it sounds delicious. My Mom told me about it and said it had quinoa, onion, eggs, spinach and deliciousness. I thought about just creating something, but then I really wanted to make it into a muffin. I’ve also been in search of [...]
