Baked Herbed Cucumber Recipe
If you think the concept of cooked cucumbers sounds weird, don’t worry, you’re not the only one. I thought so too, at first, but then I learned that cucumbers are often eaten cooked around the globe! Julia Child even has a recipe for baked cucumber, which is what I based this recipe on. Cooking cucumbers […]
Dairy Free Swedish Meatballs Recipe- Gluten Free, Egg Free and Regular Options
Growing up, I knew of three types of meatballs. Meatballs in tomato sauce, meatballs in a sweet and sour cranberry sauce, and meatballs in mushroom gravy. I think the first time I’d even heard of such a thing as Swedish meatballs was in a discussion about Ikea and the delicious meals they apparently serve in […]
Weekly Menu- in Retrospect
I am very disorganized. Part of my creativity is connected to that lack of organizational skills, I’m sure. But either way, I rarely remember what the day of the week is, which is why I make a “Menu Plan Monday” post on Tuesday… And which is partially why I make a “weekly menu in retrospect”, […]

Vegan Italian Quiche- Cinque e Cinque- with Non Vegan Option- Gluten Free, Soy Free

I find that they also tend to be great […]
Traditional Southern Dressing Recipe
One of the things I love about being a blogger is making friends with different women from around the bloggosphere that I’d never have a chance to know otherwise. April Lewis Patel, of AnAppleADayWisdom.com and author of the great ebook “Don’t Compost It- Cook It!” is one of those really great ladies. April and I have […]
A Frugal Thanksgiving Feast, and a Really Appreciated Present
My husband isn’t American. He’s a native English speaker, though, so I tend to forget that he isn’t American, that he grew up in a different culture than I did, most of the time. I even don’t notice his lovely accent most of the time anymore, after being married to him for 6 years, even though […]
Foraging Pink Peppercorns- and the Difference Between Different Types of Pepper
Some people, like my husband, think everything tastes better with ketchup. Other people, like myself, think everything tastes better with salt. My uncle Jay, on the other hand, thinks that there isn’t a single thing in the world that doesn’t taste good with pepper on it. In fact, his motto is “Nothing can ever have […]
