crispy eggplant stacks

March 25, 2013

There is a Basset Hound in our neighborhood. Jason had a Basset growing up, and being a long dog person myself, I love seeing this pup out and about. The other day, he was walking by our house and I said, “there’s the Basset – loping along…”  - Jason called him Hopalong Bassety. I have [...]

spicy potato lentil pies – Pi Day

March 14, 2013

In addition to my background in spa development and management, I am also an accountant. My first post-college job gave me a mentor who trained me until I was forecasting budgets and managing large accounts. I had a walk-in safe in my office. My second job (and one of my favorite to this day) gave me [...]

slow cooked barbecue sliders

March 12, 2013

We watched a great movie recently – one I had never heard of – Hesher. I also did not know I like Joseph Gordon-Levitt as much as I do. I like him. Have you heard of this movie? It’s old – like, 2010! I don’t know if it played in major theaters – if it [...]

We have had some beautiful sunny days recently! It may be cold, and it may even rain in parts of the day, but then the rain stops and the sun comes out, and it is almost… warm. I am so ready for spring to get here I can hardly stand it. I am already digging [...]

gluten free pizza crust recipe

February 25, 2013

Several months ago, I returned to this gluten free pizza crust recipe, hoping to improve it even more. It was pretty decent already, as compared to other gluten free pizza crusts I have tried. I have made a few variations recently, and am happy with this recipe. I like a crispy pizza crust, and Bookmark [...]

savory french toast – broccoli cheddar

February 21, 2013

*whew* The last two weeks have been a blur. Two weeks ago today, Dad went into surgery. A week ago today, he came home. In that week we have been back to the emergency room three times, twice via ambulance. We have been able to test his new Life Alert (EMS to his house within [...]

ginger lime Brussels sprouts

February 14, 2013

*sigh* Brussels sprouts are one of those vegetables I have avoided my entire adult life thus far. I recall having them as a kid only once – then kicked and screamed politely refused them ever since. Recently a friend asked if I had any Brussels sprouts recipes, or if I would create one, as she [...]
