Good evening! Today I am going for a mostly pantry meal. Normally one might make this dish with bottled clam juice or similar, but I actually had some frozen (...)
Today is the day where I make a slew of salads and such for P to eat while I'm out of town for the weekend. This is among the things I made*:1 package salad (...)
I made this the other day for breakfast, because there was a quarter cabbage sitting in the fridge looking like it needed to be eaten, a bit of jarred garlic (...)
I kind of forgot to post this yesterday. So here it is today.1.5 pounds chicken legs (thighs and drumsticks)2 carrots, cut into chunks1 parsnip, cut into (...)
I have some loquat preserves in the fridge from the last season, and I always forget I have it so I never use it. When I woke up excessively early today, I (...)
Thanks to an unintentional memory nudge from a friend, I actually remembered to pull a filet of tilapia from the freezer. Holy cow, pre-planning. Who would've (...)
I feel like I owe all of you an apology. I have made this recipe more than a dozen times since I've actively kept this blog up and not once have I posted it, (...)
I wanted to make pumpkin empanadas for P on our anniversary (the 28th), but I wanted to minimise the amount of calories in each pie. I was basically successful (...)

It's been a while since I last had Spanish rice, but a friend of mine gifted me her lovely guacamole and her salsas, both roja and verde. She has a bakery, and (...)
I picked up a watermelon recently (yes, I know. WAY out of season) because Ilana is a huge fan of them and likes to mash her pieces around, bite off too-big (...)
After two hellish days of trying to get caught up with all the homework I missed while I was sick, the last thing on my mind tonight was cooking (and yesterday (...)
Okay... I've decided to stop being secretive. I'm going to share the recipe. Mind you, it's 500 calories a slice (and everyone eats at least 2), but it's worth (...)
I discovered a ham bone in my freezer the other day and thought it'd be marvelous with the lima beans I've been seeking a use for. My ham bone had slightly (...)
Ok, it's really krab salad. Normally I would turn my nose at fake crab and refuse to eat it. But we're doing this diet thing, and fake crab has no calories (...)
I can't remember the last time I ate cooked salmon before tonight. I remembered liking it, but I just never seen to encounter salmon once it's been cooked. (...)
I started feeling sick on Monday, and foolishly attributed this to ragweed making a late season play against my general well-being. Tuesday, I realized how (...)
Here's the blackberry-bergamot. If you don't have access to bergamot, feel free to use a regular sour orange. It will change the flavor but will still be (...)
