12/6 Tofurky Mojo Part One

Sandy grew up in Miami which helped her develop a sassy palate and love of  Cuban and Latino inspired foods. We both love cumin, lime and all things with a kick.   I just described the beginning of the perfect sauce. Cuban cuisine has a marinade called  Mojo Criollo. (mo-ho cree-yo).  It is typically made […]

12/4 Olive Tapenade, Another Vegan Joy Winner

Here’s the yummy truth of my adoration for the love of olives.  I love them green, I love them black, I love them Kalamata, I love them spicy, I love them all.   Perhaps I will find an olive entree soon, but until that day we’ll eat them as a condiment, a side dish, an […]

A few weeks ago  a comment came in about the Oreo Cookie pie crust I used to create the Play In The Mudd Pie. One of Exploits readers was cool enough to write in to tell me that when she had looked up the ingredient list of the crust on the Nabisco website, the list […]

Over the weekend we were given a handful of butternut squash that had been grown by my niece and nephew. They are in elementary school and have a voracious appetite for growing veggies (love that).

11/27 Drink It Up-Aloe Vera Juice

Since I have been working at Trader Joe’s I have come to realize that many people are consuming Aloe Vera juice as a health tonic. It is a popular item at the Joe’s and it has piqued my curiosity. I have to be honest, I did not think that people ingested it. I thought it […]

11/23 Fresh Cranberry Sauce

I love cranberry sauce from a can and am not ashamed to admit it. I crave cranberries with my Tofurky and have not yet tasted a fresh sauce that I love as much as a good solid can of whole berry sauce. It is like survival food because it comes out of the can looking […]
