Michigan is warming up, kinda. Well, we seem to have one day that feels almost like Summer, then the next a bit of frost. Tony says Mother Nature got April and May mixed up this year. I agree. Things are moving along around here. Tony is starting work on a documentary project. He has been [...]
This week I decided to go back to my tried and true lentils. Can't go wrong with these. This recipe is a version of chef Sanjeev Kapoor's signature dish. This recipe is creamy and hearty as well as spicy. The recipe will only work with the lentil types that are listed, which are urad and [...]
I am always drawn the veggie burger recipes. I can't get enough of them. I like to try different recipes and note what worked and what didn't. When I made my Southwest Veggie Burger, the taste was spot on. However, it did not stay together well. That seems to be the case with a lot [...]
I love recipes that a quick and dirty that you can do on a weeknight without a lot of fuss. This recipe takes some simple ingredients and makes them into something spectacular.

No rest for the wicked! I am putting in a floor in one of our small rooms this weekend, so I needed a recipe that would not take too much time to prep and cook. I had a recipe from Jamie Oliver for Mushroom Curry that fit the bill. It's based off of mushrooms with [...]
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 [...]
I am really loving some lentil dishes lately. Another week where I need something easy. Indian cuisine is a good one for that. Lots of flavor, without a lot of fuss. The key with Indian food is to not be intimidated by the long ingredient list. Many Indian dishes require you make a masala. That [...]
Yes, another veggie burger recipe. I have been running into a bunch of them to try. I just can't help myself. This burger recipe is an Indian inspired burger recipe called the Brick Lane burger from Jamie Oliver. One thing I liked about right off the bat is that it was already gluten free. It [...]
