If I'm going to be making food for my mother in law, it can be anything overly fragrant. That's too bad because I like food from all over the world. Many of these dishes are very fragrant. She doesn't even want anything that is to garlicky. She's worried about her breath smelling bad. I get [...]
I was going to do another recipe this week, but I realized I did something I do quite often. I adapted my own recipe. The original recipe was for Turkey, Split Pea and Broccoli Soup. Tony had a wisdom tooth taken out last week and wanted something that was soft and flavorful to eat. He [...]
This recipe is really simple this week. That's kind of where I'm at this week. With my schedule changing again, I'm not in the mood for any more complexities. Now this doesn't mean I want a boring recipe. Some of the simplest recipes can be flat out amazing. I wanted the most bang for my [...]
This recipe is from the America's Test Kitchen Complete Vegetarian Cookbook. As you have heard me say before, I love lentils. Lentils cook quickly and are a great source of protein. I now have 50 pounds of lentils because dry beans have been hard to come by. With a lot of people hoarding dry beans, [...]
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 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 [...]
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. [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
The recipe for this post is more about making some vegan cheese than the recipe itself. The recipe is awesome. America's Test Kitchen does a lot of really great recipes. They recently posted a recipe for Egyptian Barley Salad and I knew I could make some adjustments and turn this from a side dish to [...]
