We eat a LOT of legumes in our house. Protein is important when the majority of your meals are meatless and we love the heartiness that beans and things bring to our meals. And better yet, putting this love into sandwich form for some lunch deliciousness can keep a busy day from being really lame. Smitten Kitchen recently posted a fantastic chickpea ...
What’s cooking weekly menu (1/17 to 1/23)
Woe is me. I had some new recipes and adventurous ingredients in line for this week's menu, but post-holiday finances sometimes have a sizable impact on what comes out of our kitchen. This was one of those weeks where the 'extra stuff' (like homemade bouillion and delicious Tempero Miniero) will just have to wait a few days. Behold, the pared down version ...
Foodie on the Internet: tastebuddi.es
Imagine your world had you never discovered the magic of Frosties and french fries at Wendy's. Or strawberries on salads with lots of black pepper. Or, in our house, peanut butter, spicy garlic chili sauce, tomato juice and kale. Nom. Life is full of interesting flavors and combination potential.

When I spied Adam's AMAZING Christmas dinner wheat roast leftovers in the ...

Ceramic mug masterpieces and… rubber baby spoons??
One of the best things about living with a clay nerd is the wide variety of ceramic pieces that have found their way into our house - bowls, plates, soup tureens and... mugs. Glorious lovely whimsical mugs. This works well especially during the cold-ish winter months (Houston gets chilly, but never quite frigid as in other cities I've endured winter in) ...
What do you eat to kick a new year off?
Happy 2010, hungry readers! Come New Year's Day, many of us find ourselves preparing 'lucky' food and traditional dishes you may never even think of the remaining 364 days. Even the least superstitious Texan won't go past January 1st without some black eyed peas and maybe some ham shank (a phenomena not limited to this fair state, of course). But to be ...
