Wow, I've had a bit of a break! My summer has flown by. With trips to Charleston, New Orleans, New York and Ohio, I feel as if I haven't had more than two seconds to myself. Hardly enough time to catch up on laundry, never mind writing blog posts. But... Read More

Brussels Sprout Salad

July 18, 2014September 1, 2016 brussels sprouts, salad, vegetables

Sometimes, a dish is so stinkin' simple you don't know how you didn't think of it yourself. For me, vegetable slaws and simple salads are where it's at. Broccoli slaw, coleslaw, and asparagus salad are all variations on the same delicious theme. Slice a crunchy vegetable thin, dress it with... Read More

I was watching tv last week and saw a show extolling the virtues of cauliflower. It's an anti-inflammatory, it's high in anti-oxidants, it increases blood flow. All that is well and good. I am a huge proponent of eating healthily, and I am certain that vegetables are good for me,... Read More

My favorite Brussels Sprouts…

November 2, 2013September 1, 2016 sides, vegetables

My favorite Brussels Sprouts...For years I wanted to love Brussels Sprouts, but never got past finding them simply okay. Turns out, simple is best when it comes to these little cabbages.

Easy Summer Side: Broccoli Slaw

July 16, 2013September 1, 2016 sides, slaw, vegetables

People don't eat enough vegetables. In some ways I understand why. There's not much worse than overcooked vegetables, soft and slimy, or a wilted, overdressed salad, but still, there is so much pleasure to be had eating vegetables prepared simply that I don't understand why some people have such negativity....

Asparagus Salad

April 2, 2013September 1, 2016 asparagus, salad, vegetables

Asparagus Salad Recipe I have a confession to make. I've been eating too much sausage. I feel heavy. And with Spring here, I felt the need for a refreshing vegetable dish. Hence, asparagus salad. I actually forgot this salad. I made it a while back after watching Anne Burrell make... Read More
