3/10 Making The Honor Roll

On Tuesday we had an unbelievably unique opportunity. The owner and head chef of our most beloved restaurant, Bangkok 96 (inspired Thai cuisine) gave Sandy and myself a private tutorial on how to make her legendary fresh rolls. Her name is Genevieve and she is a masterful, giving and talented chef.  Her fresh rolls are […]

3/9 Soaking It Up

You know how it is always SO easy to share insight, ideas or advice to anyone in earshot, but a different matter all together to follow your own words of wisdom?  The funny thing is that we are so willing to impart our wisdom, best methods or ideas on others even when we are not […]

3/5 Extreme Makeover Alfredo Edition

A few days ago I was really dying for pasta alfredo. I call it pasta and not fettucini alfredo because it its the garlicky white  sauce I crave…the shape of the pasta is interchangeable for me. It used to be my…really splurging tonight…meal. I noticed (sought it out like a woman posessed) that there was […]

2/11 Meyer Lemon Risotto with Fresh Asparagus & Basil

Risotto, I have  feared you so.  Risotto has always been on the pre-made portion of the grocery list because it is too difficult to create at home.  I never really realized until now that I let food t.v. brainwash me into thinking that only trained chefs and television personalities were capable of making a creamy, […]

2/8 Ordinary to Extraordinary

I truly believe that we eat with our eyes first and when my eyes saw the Garden of Eatin’ blue corn taco shells on the store shelf my tummy started chanting…I want tacos. There is something so whimsical and enchanting about blue corn that it made an ordinary quickie dinner like tofu tacos extraordinary and […]

2/3 Creating Warmth

When I woke up  yesterday and looked out the window I thought for a split second I had been kidnapped X-files style and taken to Antarctica.  I left  for work wrapped up like a Lands End mummy and never warmed up again. By the time I returned home I was ready to take a nap […]

1/26 The Greening of My Plate

I have shared with you in the past my dislike for greens. I am really a non green eating vegan. It is like being a fish that doesn’t like to swim. I love raw spinach and am willing to acquiesce that kale in a smoothie is pretty delicious. Sandy  sneaks cooked greens into our meals […]

1/11 Chick’n Soup For Your Compassionate Soul

In June I shared Sandy’s Top Secret Chick’n Noodle Soup recipe. It is the kind of soup that takes on the form of an actual loving embrace. It goes into your body and becomes a healing tonic, a life size band-aid for your broken parts and a hug from the most loving person you have […]

1/10 Happy Meatless Monday Thai Peanut Noodles

Happy Meatless Monday. I love Thai food anywhere, any place, any time.  I love it for dinner, for lunch, for a snack, re-heated for breakfast, yes, it’s true for breakfast too.  From my shoes, the only thing better than enjoying Thai food out is dining on homemade Thai food in my own home. Smelling aromas […]
