Week 12

Happy Friday! I hope you had a wonderful week! I've been busy tweaking the site, and I'm sure you've noticed a lot of changes! The site has gotten a bit of a facelift between the change in venue, the logo and the theme, and overall I feel like it's a vast improvement. I'm also replacing some…Read More

Pineapple Sunshine Smoothie Bowl

We’re quickly coming to the end of our time here in Louisiana, and we soon head for cooler climes. With three weeks left, now’s about the time when I stare into my cupboards, assess all the food still left there, and start coming up with crazy ways to use it all up before we head…Read More

Week 11

I hope you had a wonderful week! Here's your Lunch of the Week! The star this week is MANGO! I'm seeing all these wonderful posts from other bloggers living in the tropics, and darn it makes me miss the fresh mangoes! The tiny Caribbean island where we lived only has one main road, and a…Read More

Coconut Chicken Curry (Nightshade Free)

Every good cook knows that the secret to cooking (and life) is spice! The right mix can vault a bland, tasteless dish into the spectacular. Not to mention they’re incredibly good for your health! Salt, the overused villain of the spice world, can reveal hidden flavours with just a dash, nutmeg can transform an Alfredo…Read More

Crispy Crunchy Egg Rolls

I have only two rules for myself when I go to the grocery store: 1) Never go hungry, and 2) always always bring a list. Without these rules, shopping trips can turn into a disaster. My hungry self is VERY ambitious. As I wander the aisles I think of all the delicious things that I…Read More

Chocolate Raspberry Smoothie Bowl

Smoothies are the best. For serious. They’re sweet and delicious, and I’ve never met one I didn’t like! Actually, that’s a lie; there was one smoothie back when we were trying Mr. Nomato on an elimination diet that tasted like ginger apple ditchwater, but I hardly count that. It was more like juice anyway. Smoothies…Read More

Easy Homemade Vegetable Broth

I was not prepared for the weather in Louisiana. Can I just say that? It’s not the heat – I was well prepared for the heat, as much as I don’t like it. It was the drastic nature of its storms. On the day I made this broth and took pictures, it was so black…Read More

Sweet Potato Beef Stew

You know how sometimes you make something over and over and it’s delicious but just not… fantastic? There’s something missing, but you can’t quite put your finger on it? That was how beef stew used to be for me. Something to eat, not something to really enjoy. That has changed. This beef stew is to…Read More

“Just One More” Sweet Rolls

These sweet rolls are spectacular. They make an appearance at every family function, usually made with love by my Nana, her significant contribution to every feast. She makes enough to feed an army… no, two armies! and rarely are there any left in the basket. They go with EVERYTHING. Turkey Dinner. Tomato soup. Ham Dinner.…Read More

Italian Herb Roasted Chicken

Let’s be honest. February is THE WORST. It’s grey. It’s cloudy. If you’re living on the Eastern Seaboard right now, you’ve got snow up to your eaves – and your last nerve. The deep chill has set in, the kind of chill that burrows into your very bones, finding out wherever you're vulnerable and or weak…Read More
