Had I posted this a day earlier, it would have made for a great Meatless Monday post! Oh well. So for all you veg heads out there, here you go! I can’t take credit for this recipe. My sweet friend (and neighbor!) brought this scrumptious lasagna over last week. I love how light it is;…

Another Roast Chicken Recipe
Whole Foods had a huge sale on organic whole chickens last week and so I gathered the littles and off we went in search of chickens for $1.69/lb. Unbelievable price, right? I was hesitant to buy the ten bird limit (who has that kind of space in their freezer?) so I settled for four birds….
Thanksgiving 2010
Thanksgiving dinner this year was oh so time consuming but the end result was superb. We tried a new recipe for the bird this year. The turkey was brined and then roasted. Check out the recipe and video here. The brine really bumped up the moisture level for the turkey and it was very moist…
Beef Stew
You can make this recipe in either a Dutch oven or the underrated appliance in every kitchen, the slow cooker. I love the addition of the balsamic vinegar since it adds a tangy flavor and helps to tenderize the meat. Recipe Courtesy of Everyday Food Serves 6 3 pounds beef chuck, trimmed of visible fat…
Buffalo Chicken Chili
I ran across this recipe when I was perusing a cookbook that I had borrowed from the library. (Cookbooks are my favorite books to borrow from the library!) The book was by Joy Bauer, a nutritionist frequently featured on my favorite morning program, The TODAY Show. This chili is not for the faint of heart….
Southern Supper
I don’t make fried chicken very often (I think the last time I made it was over two years ago!). Why? Well, it’s messy, not that healthy and did I mention messy? But sometimes you crave it alongside cheesy mashed potatoes, creamed corn, and green beans (yes, I made all those sides with it…I just…
Asbury Cafe
When I was in graduate school, I did a 3 month fieldwork assignment working with clients with mental illness at the Wyandot Center in Kansas City, Kansas. One of my favorite parts of working at Wyandot was Wednesday Nite Asbury Cafe. The Asbury Cafe was a collaborative effort between the Occupational Therapy Education Department at…
A Chili Summer Day
So, it’s not officially summer for another eight days but I’ve been in summer mode ever since Memorial Day. When living in Colorado, you have to be prepared for all sorts of weather, no matter what the season. Last week we had temperatures in the eighties and nineties and this weekend the temperatures dropped to…
Grilled Fish Tacos
This is my go-to meal at any Mexican restaurant. I do not like them heavily breaded and fried but rather grilled or lightly fried. This light meal reminds me of hot Texas summers and nothing washes it all down better than a cool margarita. Grilled Fish TacosRecipe Source: Barbeque Nation 2 teaspoons ground ancho chili…
Roasted Sweet Potato and Carrot Puree
I have been getting a lot of yams in my organic box lately and needed to find a creative way to fix them. This is a great variation on mashed sweet potatoes and is delightfully creamy. If you are looking for a unique side dish to accompany your meatloaf and roasts, this is it! Roasted…
