I've been politely ignoring the blog for the past few weeks. It would nudge me and whisper "please write something" and I would quietly respond "I'm just too busy right now, maybe tomorrow." Which promptly turned into three weeks. I think. Anywho I've neglected to mention on here that we are expecting another baby at… Continue reading Garden Update – May 2013

Strawberries, Arugula & Goat Cheese English Muffins
Tonight's dinner was courtesy of Hy-Vee's recent Seasons magazine. The recipe was actually on the cover and as soon as I knew arugula would be at the market last weekend, I put it on this week's meal plan. Strawberry, Goat Cheese & Arugula Sandwiches English muffins topped with goat cheese, arugula and strawberries and drizzled… Continue reading Strawberries, Arugula & Goat Cheese English Muffins

Granola with Buckwheat Groats
I first cooked with buckwheat groats when I made (the best) recipe for vegetarian "bacon" from No Meat Athlete. If you are a vegetarian you've got to try that recipe. Buckwheat is actually not wheat at all and is gluten-free. The groats look like little seeds. I buy mine from the bulk bins at Whole… Continue reading Granola with Buckwheat Groats

Brown Rice Pudding with Cranberries & Maple Syrup
The other night I turned leftover cooked brown rice into rice pudding. I'm not sure how the idea popped into my head in the first place. I had never actually made rice pudding before.

In the blogging world of fabulous food photography and recipes, this lowly soup is not going to win any awards. But isn't taste what matters most when it comes to cooking?
