Another day, another Cooking Light recipe. This one is an old standby, which we make when we don’t have a lot of time to cook, and it uses ingredients that we usually have on hand anyway.
Bavarian Sausage-and-Kraut Supper

4 cups uncooked medium egg noodles (about 8 ounces)
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 cup sliced onion
1 teaspoon […]

Over the past few months, from time to time I’ve seen recipes, usually Mediterranean ones, that have Israeli couscous as an ingredient. Unfortunately, for the longest time, I couldn’t try out any of these recipes as I was having great trouble trying to find the ingredient locally. Israeli couscous, despite popular opinion, is not couscous […]

Up until a couple of years ago, I hated greens. Just though they were the nastiest, bitterest thing I had ever tasted. But I had one co-worker who made them for a potluck, and people were fighting to be able to get to them before they were gone - the co-worker asked me if I […]

I had been meaning to post about this a while ago, but got caught up in holiday prep and never got around to it.
A month ago, we were fortunate enough to be able to meet up with Rosie and her husband at Starliner Diner for dinner - we had a blast, and tons of excellent […]

A few days ago, I promised to post my recipe for candied yams, and I’m finally getting around to it. It’s fairly inexact, so I’ll focus more on method than I will on ingredients.
You can use either yams or sweet potatoes, as both will work with this recipe. You’ll also want to have the following […]

We’ll start our review of Thanksgiving dinner with the usual ending - the desserts. I made three desserts in total - a couple of squash custard pies, a caramelized nut tart, and a Sara Lee Blueberry pie. I’ll skip the pic of the blueberry pie since I’m sure everyone has seen one at one time […]

This week is a little quiet on the blogging front, with most posts focused on Thanksgiving. There are only so many ways to roast a turkey, so I’ll focus on the posts that really stood out to me.
And let me just say now, Penzey’s Turkey Base rocks my world. Looks like The Food Ass agrees […]

Stolen from Toni:
“Ask me to take a picture of any aspect of my life that you’re interested in/curious about - it can be anything from the house I live in to my favourite shoes.
Leave your choice here as a comment, and I will reciprocate by taking the pictures and posting them in an entry as […]

One of the blessings of the past few days is that while sampling cheeses the other day at Whole Foods, I managed to discover the best snack ever - brie w/ cranberry mango pepper jelly:
Now, mind you - I’m not usually a huge fan of brie, at least not by itself. I don’t mind it […]

If I’m thankful for anything today, I’m thankful that Thanksgiving (at least in my household) is over. I should have known better than to try to cook a huge meal this year, especially with how sick I’ve been. Even normal everyday meals take me two to three times as long to prepare as they should. […]
