Salsa Cruda
I love this salsa. It is such a versatile recipe. In addition to the traditional way of serving it with tortilla chips, I’ve had it on top of burgers – both beef and turkey. This morning I discovered it works great as the veggie in a frittata. My husband’s reaction: “The eggs are outdoing the bacon for flavor. It’s a battle to the death!”

Summer Vegetable Stew
I’ve had this recipe, or some variation of it, in my collection for I don’t know how long. I’m not even sure where the original came from. What I do know is that it’s one of my husband’s favorite ways to eat vegetables. Since he thinks vegetables are an “optional” part of any meal, I do what I can to get him excited about them. While I was making this yesterday, my husband said the aroma took him back to his Italian grandmother’s kitchen. Simple foods from the earth, probably grown in their very own garden.

When I started making baby food for my daughter, I got into the habit of keeping home made chicken stock on hand. It was the only way I could be sure it didn’t contain too much sodium for her little kidneys to process. Not only do you benefit from knowing exactly what’s … Continue reading

Eating My Way Around the Blogosphere
Where does the time go? I’ve had so much going on in the past several weeks, I can barely remember my own name. In summary, I lost a grandfather, discovered my cat has cancer, and learned I was pregnant. I’m very happy about that last part, but not so much about the rest. I won’t get into details here, but for those of you interested, you may read more about those events on my other blog. Needless to say, with all that’s been going on, I haven’t had much time to get creative with my cooking. And now that things … Continue reading
Raspberry Lemonade
The sun finally made an appearance in our little part of the world this weekend. We celebrated the return of that big, yellow orb with an outdoor turkey fry (more on that in a later post!) and some homemade raspberry lemonade! Real lemonade is so easy to make, and lemons are pretty inexpensive, so there’s no need to by mixes with artificial colors and preservatives in them. Just squeeze the juice from a lemon, add some water and sugar, and enjoy! Changing things up with the addition of some fresh berries is only slightly more involved. This recipe also works … Continue reading
