Dandelion Jelly

Has it been a month already? Time to post! All kidding aside, the spring weather has been pretty balmy and our world rapidly grew green again and dandelions dotting most of the nooks between each blade of grass it could find. Luckily, with most of ...

Gum Drop Cake

Had enough sugar yet today? My Nana used to make this cake for us when we were kids. I'm not sure if it's one of those depression era cakes that remind me of grandma's and farmhouses or if it's just a classically good everyday cake that's ...

Spicy Black Eyed Pea & Sweet Potato Stoup

How about a flavourful and heat loving blast into the New Year? Healthy and sinus clearing, this is a lunch to knock that cold back outside where it belongs. It's been frigid and I've been sick. The extra sleep has been good, but I'm in need ...

Whole Garden Gnocchi

Who knew I could feed myself from a front yard garden alone? Other than the flour, I grew everything for this dish in my small, urban yard; potatoes, garlic, chard, tomatoes and squash. I may have mentioned my front yard transformation last spring. With the ...

Celebrate Life With National Pineapple Upside-Down Cake Day

Who knew? When I saw that reminder on Twitter, I couldn't help myself but to think that I may not have been celebrating enough lately. How about you? Life a little busy? Preoccupied with everything? I had a pineapple sitting, waiting for someone to enjoy it, so ...

Sheppard's Pie

Usually I'd be eating something like this in the dead of winter not the first of Spring. I've been doing my best to enjoy a salad every day, plus, just posted about digging up those Sunchokes, for goodness sake! But it's snowing!! Not a lot, but ...

Barley Risotto

Returning with something super simple but so delicious. During the detox, while on the search for various grains to keep things interesting, I remembered barley. My mom used to use it in many of her soups when I was a kid. This, of course, makes it an ...

Quinoa & Mixed Grain Breakfast

There's a way to make oatmeal "healthier"? It took me a couple of days, but I realized that the rice cooker makes more than, well, rice. With the cold weather just about everyone's been having lately, there's been a lot of oatmeal filling the bowls around ...
