We get the most amazing Persian mulberries here in California from the farmers market. They are juicier than the one's pictured above and the only thing I do with them is eat them over good vanill...

We're big on breakfast burritos at my house. Tatertots, eggs, turkey bacon or sausage, cheese and salsa wrapped in a warm tortilla. Many of the ingrediants can be made the nigth before and then p...

A friend recently re-used those beautiful glass milk bottles to serve a variety of drinks at a party. I think I'll use one to brew up some cold iced tea with a bit of lemon verbena and mint.

Very high levels of minerals, especially, calcium, magnesium, iron, potassium, phosphorous, manganese, silica, iodine, silicon, sodium, and sulfur. They also provide chlorophyll and tannin, and the...

I LOVE this!!!! For sure making it for the next time my nieces are in town. Maybe even for my next work pot luck - I wonder if anyone would eat them?

Purslane has more beta-carotene than spinach, as well as high levels of magnesium and potassium. Historically it has been used as a remedy for arthritis and inflammation by European cultures. Chine...

sliced melon or papaya, hard boiled egg and some chacuterie, maybe a chunck of hawaiian sweet bread and iced coffee vietnamese style with sweetened condensed milk. Or 1/2 ...

I love grilled peaches or nectarines with balsamic glaze, made w/ honey, balsamic, vanilla and then whipped cream or creme fraiche on the side.

Spent time cooking this weekend again. Made Vietnamese curry chicken over rice noodles (sort of a soupy dish with lemon grass, fish sauce, curry and coconut milk). It came out super tasty as I le...

I love the idea of rubber floors! They look great too. I currently have floor mats that snap together like puzzle pieces from Costco and a throw rug to cover them from Ikea - much better on my fe...

Glad to hear I'm not the only one with an anti-social partner...I hope it's just a phase. Anyway, I too used to host Sunday dinners at my house weekly over the summer - we limited the ...

I second that & on SALE none-the-less! But sadly only in twin size...

I also had an inspired weekend of cooking and stocking the kitchen this weekend. Took a trip to the local 99 Ranch Market to buy ingrediants for Pho. Made beef broth with Oxtail, cinamon, cloves,...

I too was brought up on protein, starch, veggie. We do less starch these days and more protein and veggies. We eat lots of fish which is quick to cook on a weekday night after work and working ou...

My BF is Egyptian and we love Ful Medammas - a traditional breakfast item as well as favas in humas (not mashed up but whole). I've not tried cooking them fresh, but see them at the market all the...

I don't mind doing dishes or touching chicken but oh how I dread making pie crust, it NEVER comes out right for me, crumbles all over the place or sticks when I'm rolling it out. I'm also not a fa...

Best truffle dish ever - gnocchi with cream and truffles. Oh no let me take that back, fois gras with blackened truffle and sage from Julian Serano at the Belagio in Vegas - he doesn't make it any...

I grew up cooking on electric and once I used gas swore I'd never go back. As luck would have it when I moved in with the bf - you guessed it electric stove. Love him, love our place and our elec...

Sadly this has been a crazy week at work and at home. I've had no time to work on the cure and almost no time to cook. Hope to get back on track this weekend. I'd love to learn to cook vietnames...
