When mixed with rice, chana Punjabi, an Indian chickpea stew, is a soulful meal whose charms are hard to resist....

I think all I've done today is cook, eat, wash dishes, and procure more food. (I had to walk over to the co-op to pick up a few things . . . most importantly, more dish soap!) Here's what I've been up to: I started the morning by making some spinach and tomato dal: We'll have this for lunch tomorrow...

I managed to cram in a few more cooking projects before the end of the weekend, and I'm so glad I did! It's supposed to be awfully hot again this week, and I'm so glad I have a fridge full of food and won't need to turn on the oven or stove AT ALL. Breakfast Sunday morning: Homemade bread, toasted, ...

my honey surprised me a few weeks ago by buying me Yellow Rose Recipes.. imagine my delight when i opened up my mail on that day! i've only had the book for a short time, but i'm already loving it! So far, i've made the Raisin Bran Muffins and the Very Berry Muffins, the Roasted Red Pepper Hummus, L...

Warning: The Good Stir Fry above and the Spicy Noodles below are NOT low calorie foods, but that's OK because they are for my kids. I did eat the scrumptious plate above, but that's OK.

Vcon's Edamame ...

Years ago, Omniman and I visited Turkey during that very precise time of year when you stop eating salads and begin to seek out soups and stews. The main strolling street in Istanbul, called Istiklal Caddesi, is dotted with shops and eateries. One of my fondest memories of that country included sipp...

had an EDBV marathon this weekend! i was just really in a cookin' kind of mood, and baby was ever so patient with me, so these are the results. EDBV's Carob Blueberry Pancakes. everyone loved them, they were simply devoured. the kids thought it was great that they were getting "chocolate" at breakfa...

Here I am. I hope to have more time blogging when summer gets here ... although, that is the time of the year when I REALLY don't feel like cooking :p Maybe I'll talk about my garden or how I'm doing nothing :)) I recently bought two books that I love... no, three books.1. All New Square-Food Garden...
