I decided to go for comfort food this week. A nice creamy dish that make me happy and reminds me of what mom used to make. Alexandra Barnett at Taste of Home had a recipe for Paprika Pork that reminded me a lot of Chicken Paprikash. I decided to make my own take on this [...]
Chock this up to another dish that I have never heard of before. While I was watching yet another YouTube video on the treadmill, I saw Koshari. Koshari is the national dish of Egypt. With all of the Middle eastern food I eat, I am surprised that I have never heard of this. I found [...]
I wanted to start off the new year with a great bean recipe. While eating beans are a superstition that are supposed to bring good luck, I wanted to do them more as a great healthy and comforting start. I also did Hoppin' John and Black-Eyed Peas with Coconut Milk and Ethiopian Spices for the [...]
Since I did a holiday meal last week, I decided to give the big cooking a rest this week. Something simple and vegetarian. That's when I came across a recipe from the MyFitnessPal Hello Healthy Blog for Vegan Chickpea Fritatta. I love fritatta and it's an easy way to use up ingredients. The recipe was [...]
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 [...]
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. [...]
