I decided to make a second holiday meal this year that was for sure healthy, vegetarian, low sodium and dairy free. The bad part of other people cooking for you is that they may not understand the intricacies of your diet. For example, my sister in law made these wonderful chicken bites. She did everything [...]
I was watching YouTube for recipes, as I often do, and I ran across a recipe from Foodwishes called Dirty, Dirty Rice. Chef John said he likes his rice extra dirty. Now dirty rice gets its dirtiness from liver and pork. I know most people are not fans of liver. I'm weird because I only [...]
Pati Jinich is one of my favorite Mexican chefs. I love how she blends here Mexican cuisine with American that makes it more than just Tex-Mex. It is in a world of its own. One of her creations is a tamal casserole. I love because it's better than a tamale pie because it's actually made [...]
Let me know in the comments what things you had to give up in your diet that was really hard for you to do. Since the time I started this blog, I have mentioned the food I have had to give up in my life. It started around 2007 when I started getting gastrointestinal distress [...]
This week I had a hankering for my favorite enchiladas, enchilada verde. I used to make these all the time. Shredded chicken, monterrey jack cheese and sour cream with tomatillo salsa. They are also time consuming to make. And they contain dairy. This week I found out that I had to delete some more items [...]
We've finally had the hard frost we've been waiting for here in Michigan. If you haven't heard we have had an unusually high amount of cases of eastern equine encephalitis or EEE. It's a nasty disease that mostly affects horses, but can also infect humans. It has a high fatality rate. We even sprayed for [...]
Since becoming a vegetarian, I still miss some of my favorite meat-based dishes. Beef stew is one of those dishes. Tony and I definitely like meat. No doubt about it. When it comes to types of vegetarians, I find there are three types: the never liked meat folks, the former meat eaters, and the junkatarian. [...]
Why in the world would anyone want to corn tofu? Yes, it sounds strange, but since going vegetarian I wanted to have some version of old favorites. I love corned beef. However, it has too much salt and isn't the best for you. I actually became inspired by a small restaurant in Kalamazoo, Michigan called [...]
This started out as a recipe that caught my eye while scrolling through Facebook. Typically when a recipe uses the word "crack" in the title, it means that it is deliciously addictive. So when I came across a recipe for Slow Cooker Cream Cheese Crack Chicken from Plain Chicken, I had to stop and take [...]
I'm going easy again this week. We are still working on cars. Tony and I are modern YouTube mechanics. We both have some knowledge of cars. The only difference is my dad made me get my hands dirty and do the work, while his dad did not. So we pool our knowledge, look up stuff [...]
