Powerful strong greens

Talk about a lettuce with a kick!  Arugula is something fierce.  I’m not a huge fan, to be honest, but if it’s amongst other greens I don’t mind it. But like I mentioned before, we got a ton from our neighbor, so I had to figure out something to do with it.  I think it’s best paired with meat, but that’s not an option for me, so I cooked it into a couple of veggie stratas.  The first went with Kyle on his drive to Colorado.  The second I made for myself. Arugula Tomato Strata… Read more >

Chard from our neighbor

HOW!?! Seriously, how do SAHM / bloggers do it? I’m only 3 days into Kyle’s 10 days out of town and pretty sure I’m going to turn into an almond by day 5 at the rate I’m pounding through this Costco tub of roasted nuts.  And I haven’t written a single new post aside from this one I’m working on now.  Which may or may not go live before Kyle returns.

And bacon!!!!!!!!!!   Question: When will it end? Answer: Never [I hope].   Last bite…  🙁   Who else makes sure their last bite is the “perfect bite” with every component in it in the ideal proportion?  Anyone else?  I know Ethel does this too, but Kyle thinks we are weird.  I beg to differ.  He will eat a… Read more >

BBQ jackfruit

I’d never even heard of jackfruit until I moved to Los Angeles.  Apparently it’s a pretty popular vegan replacement for meat in dishes that would otherwise use shredded chicken or pulled pork.  Something about the stringy consistency. What the heck is jackfruit anyway? It’s a fruit, native to Southeast Asia, with starchy fibrous flesh.  The flavor (of the ripe fruit) is said to be comparable to a combination of apple, pineapple and banana – naturally sweet with subtle flavoring. “It can be used to make a variety of dishes, including custards, cakes, halo-halo… The seeds… Read more >
