Comfort Foods
Posted on December 31, 2010 by
If you follow KOAB on Facebook, you know that I woke up this morning with a stomach bug. I seem to be a real target, as this is my second time in two months. Fortunately my husband is off work today, so he is fixing our dinner! Instead of sharing … [Read more...]

Posted on December 26, 2010 by

KOAB Recipe Exchange: Beans, Lentils & Legumes (Hummus)

With the abundance of pumpkin available these days, I thought I'd give my favorite fall vegetable a KOAB recipe exchange all its own. We love pumpkin blended in soups, or chunked with other veggies and served over couscous. My favorite way to … [Read more...]
