just our day to day life
I like most variety of winter squash, but Lo isn’t a big fan. He’ll eat a squash dish if I make it (usually), but he’s not a big fan…just a good sport. And he probably won’t eat leftovers, so I’ll be like – why have …
I love the bags of those cute mini peppers at the grocery store. I know bell peppers “should” be purchased organically because they are part of the dirty dozen, but the list doesn’t specify mini sweet peppers, so I’ll just pretend like these are okay …
I wanted to post this before Thanksgiving because it makes a fab Thanksgiving side dish (as a matter of fact, I made it again for that – but didn’t take pictures). As usual of late, things don’t get done when I think they will. But …

Lentils are one of my favorite grains…or beans…or seeds. Whatever they are, I really like them. I don’t make them nearly enough, which is kind of crazy because they are super easy. They cook faster than rice and have more flavor than quinoa. They are …
I love asparagus and spring = asparagus. It’s not ready in Ohio yet, since we haven’t had spring yet, but I couldn’t resist buying some when it was on sale last week. My absolute favorite recipe for asparagus is Roasted Asparagus with Balsamic Browned Butter. …
I LOVE football. I don’t love it when the Steelers suck, but oh well. I don’t hate the Ravens, but I hate Ray Lewis (and Michael Vick). I hate that he was involved in a murder and plead down and no one got charged. I …
We had to work Christmas Eve and were heading to celebrate Christmas with Lo’s family in the morning. I was craving a mac and cheese type dish (gluten free, of course) but didn’t feel like dealing with a difficult recipe and making a roux and …
