It's already September 6th, but we've sort of been flying by the seat of our non-menu planned pants these past few days! I finally managed to sit down last night and map out our month's worth of meals. A few caveats: I'm once again sticking to … [Read more...]
Rosemary Focaccia Bread
Posted on September 2, 2011 by
I'm a simple girl. Who loves her simple carbs. Pasta, potatoes, rice. Love it all. But my favorite carb is bread. I've really been enjoying the no-kneed bread (it took me forever to get on the bandwagon, but about a year and a half ago, I tried it … [Read more...]
Crunchy Sesame Tofu & Dipping Sauce
Posted on August 26, 2011 by
It is my firm opinion that tofu gets a bad rap. I have many a friend whose reaction to tofu is "Blech!" Maybe it was my years spent as a vegetarian - or maybe it's just my highly sophisticated palette, but I happen to think that tofu is … [Read more...]

Best Ever Lemon Poppyseed Muffins
Posted on July 22, 2011 by
I am a huge fan of muffins. So are my kids. I’ve even been know to bake kugel in muffin tins, tell them it’s muffins, and watch them go to town. Baked in a 9x11 pyrex, that same kugel would be scoffed at. But muffins are more than just good … [Read more...]
