I first had these at a girls weekend of high school friends several years ago. I started making them for winter breakfasts at holidays and my kids and nieces and nephews all love them. I discovered this time around that they taste just as good with Egg Beaters and whole wheat flour. 1 1/2 cups […]

This is my first attempt at a yeast dough and I have Sunny Side Up in San Diegoto thank for the great recipe and instructions. It was easy to follow and allowed me to succeed in baking (that doesn’t happen much)! We all loved this, and Owen pronounced it “epic.” Not much more I can […]

At the risk of completely embarrassing myself, I’m sharing this video/commercial. You might recognize the representative heart attack survivor. Seeing and hearing yourself on camera is never a girl’s favorite thing, but the Allina staff did a nice job with the messages on this prevention-oriented video. I’m very glad I got to say things about […]

I haven’t been posting much lately because I’ve been too busy cooking. I’m working my way through a stack of pumpkin recipes (inspired by the insanely good and still-on-top pumpkin bread) for a recipe collection to share, but meanwhile I’ve been making dinner for my family every night too. Happy kids = happy dinner = […]

This is adapted from a recipe I saw made on Guy Fieri’s show on Food Network. Every time I go to Exercare (for phase III of cardiac rehab), Food Network is playing on the TVs. This is amusing to me, as I’ve watched demonstrations of gruyere-bacon-potato tortes, ground pork lau lau, and all manner of […]

There’s a lot awesome about this recipe, including that its made in your slow cooker, features more shopping than chopping, and has literally no fat (unless you garnish with the optional olives and cheese). It also tastes really light and fresh and yummy. Serves 6-8 1 medium eggplant, peeled and chopped into 1-2 inch dice […]

I hate salmon. I know I’m supposed to like it, I know it is good for me, and I know that if it is fresh and prepared well it tastes good. But I still hate it. So, I went looking for a salmon recipe that I could literally smother with other flavors so I could […]

Everyone knows how to make tacos and likes them their way, but I just wanted to share a couple yummy recipes to accompany and garnish your tacos. I make my taco meat using the Joy of Cooking recipe, or, if I don’t have time, Frontera Grill Taco Sauce (you can find it near the other […]
