So July is here and this Independence Day will be very different for sure. We will be swimming in our pool and grilling and salading (new word!) with our small family cohort. Even though I try to keep things mostly healthy, sometimes I have to have some old-fashioned food memories in the mix. This burger
Have you ever made your own hummus? If not, I want to encourage you to try this one! Even without the preserved lemon (you can make your own preserved lemon, too… see my post HERE) it is still a keeper and pretty easy, especially if you use canned chickpeas. Hummus Made Simple Hummus is a
I believe we are in like week 5 or 6?? of isolation due to the Covid-19 pandemic, and right now heading out to the grocery store is not only our only outing, but is also something we are trying to do as little as possible. My goal is to shop once every two weeks, but
Once again, a quick, light, healthy, soup that uses pantry items and root vegetables that keep a long time in the fridge.

So far, I put in a tomato plant, serrano, jalapeno chilies and added marjoram to my still healthy oregano and thyme. Basil will be coming soon, as will another tomato plant, habanero
The best word I can use to describe this cake is enchanting! It grabbed me right away the first time I saw it online. I just HAD to make it. It only took me over a year, but I finally did, and I am not sorry. The recipe here is only slightly adapted from this

I love unadulterated chocolate that is not quite milk, not quite dark – let’s say about 54% cocao – and a note that comes from the heart.
