I have a serious love-hate relationship with food. To be honest I love food. Oh how I love food. I love to cook food for other people. On most occasions I love to consume food. However, since birth me and food… we’re not best buds. I don’t recall having major stomach issues as a young […]
It’s what’s for dinner
Canning from the couch
Most days I nap from about 1:30 or 2 to about 3:00. It happens to be about the time Derek walks up to the bus stop to get the boy. Yesterday was no exception. I was mostly sound asleep when they came home. It was probably a good thing. I woke up and wandered into […]
Gluten Free Biscuits
Derek and I like to pick up lunch from a great little soup joint in Tacoma. It is a hole in the wall kind of place that makes the most amazing soup. What’s better is they have their soups grouped into “creamy,” “non-creamy,” “vegetarian” and “vegan.” Then, they mark the menu with the soups that […]
For Suzanne and Tricia
“You can’t eat wheat or gluten*” For a foodie this is a death sentence… or so it seems. Favorite foods like chewy foccacia bread are taboo. Comfort foods are no longer comfortable. The first few weeks most newly diagnosed Celiacs (or those with gluten intolerance) spend their time trying to find alternatives to once loved […]
Superfast Swedish Bread
When I started the 101 in 1001 I had a grand intention of baking a new bread every month. I’ve done a fairly mediocre job of it over the last year. I may not have baked a new bread every single month, but I have done quite a few. The ones that I’ve done include […]
Basement Ladies: Chili Con Queso
This really isn’t a new recipe. ?Almost everyone knows how to make super ultra processed Queso. ?It is the note at the bottom that gets me. ?I should note that most Lutherans are of Scandinavian descent and a comment often heard around the table is, “oh, looks like a Scandinavian dinner,” when all of the […]
Land of the Jell-O Mold
Our church is putting together a cookbook “fundraiser.” ?It really isn’t a fundraiser per-se. ?It was more that the kitchen/custodial staff wanted a cookbook and I volunteered I said that we needed to give the old ladies something to spend their money on and tell them it was going to a good cause. ?At the […]
Help me fix dinner
Cross posted at Sprouting Off. My neighbor went out of town for two weeks (please don’t rob his house). ?Before he left he asked if I could collect his mail and recycle his papers. ?I agreed since he is a nice guy. ?If he were an asshole I might steal some of the plants in […]
Chicksicles
I committed to finishing the 101 in 1001 project and well… I’m failing miserably at a few of my goals. ?The whole walk 5 miles a week thing isn’t going so well and I didn’t have the opportunity to make a new bread in March. I did get the chance to try a few new […]
Tuesday Night Supper
Tuesday Night Supper is was a regular feature at Sprouting Off. ?I’m working on Sprouting Off, really I am. ?The purpose of Tuesday Night Supper was to give dinner recipes that were easy to make and that used fresh in season vegetables. ?The reason that this particular post is showing up here and not there […]
