Mango and Roasted Ancho Quesadillas

Mango and Roasted Ancho Quesadillas

The inspiration for these quesadillas came to me while I was watching my son eat lunch.  Now, if you have ever watched a toddler eat, you know that it can, at times, be less than appetizing.  They have a way of creating such messy havoc 

Kohlrabi Pie with Dill and Feta

Kohlrabi Pie with Dill and Feta

Kohlrabi used to kind of be my thing.  I loved picking it up at the grocery store when I was able to find it, because inevitably, someone would come up to me and say, “Now, what do you do with that?” or, “What does that 

Creamy Chard and Black Bean Enchiladas

Creamy Chard and Black Bean Enchiladas

I know what you’re thinking.  You think I’ve turned to the dark side.  Who in their right mind makes enchiladas with chard and black beans?  Enchiladas are meant to be the stuff of roasted pork and slow-cooked beef.  Well, most of the time, I’d agree

This post will be a quick one.  Because this is a quick salad.  The kind you throw together to bring to a BBQ or you make on a Sunday night for a week of lunches.  It’s easy.  It’s tasty.  It has wheat berries in it.

Artichoke, Spinach, and Ricotta Pie

Artichoke, Spinach, and Ricotta Pie

Truffle Garlic Oven Fries

Truffle Garlic Oven Fries

I know I’ve harped on this before, but this time of year always drags on for me, food-wise.  Grocery store produce sections look unbearably pathetic, and the farmers’ market (which I know I’m lucky to have this early) has barely anything better.  Potatoes.  Some limp 

Whole Wheat Cheddar Crackers

Whole Wheat Cheddar Crackers

As I’m writing this, I’m sitting in a coffee shop, organizing photos, sipping a decaf coffee (hey’s it’s after 3 pm and I’m not as young as I used to be), and taking a break every once in a while to just sit and savor 

Bacon Chipotle Meatloaf

Bacon Chipotle Meatloaf

Those of you who have hung around for a while remember that a few years ago, I presented you with the golden rule of bacon, namely, “When in doubt, wrap it in bacon.”  Well, that still obviously holds true, but now I have a slight
