The food I cook. The food we eat. Cooking and Food-Related Sites. Sunday, February 2, 2014. Saturday Breakfast: Mushroom, Leek and Gruyère Tart. This is the sentence where I whine about forgetting to bring my camera and having to take pictures with my ancient Blackberry. The only thing that I think we both would change is that we used a press-in tart crust - one she has used before and likes a lot (I do too! The tart was delicious and we will definitely make it again. Click Here for the Recipe.

The food I cook. The food we eat. Cooking and Food-Related Sites. Thursday, October 17, 2013. Applesauce: Make It Today, But Don't Eat It Until Tomorrow. Seriously, your applesauce will taste 10x better the day after you make it. I am an applesauce purist. No sweeteners, no cinnamon, no cloves or nutmeg. Okay, mostly a purist. I added a teaspoon of ground Grains of Paradise. Sierra Beauties. Washed, then cut into quarters or eighths. If I had to choose just one apple from which to make sauce, I think I'd...

The food I cook. The food we eat. Cooking and Food-Related Sites. Monday, February 6, 2012. Roasted Butternut Squash and Carrot Soup. I love chickpeas and I love that Ive found something new to do with them. Not a starring role this time, but a solid supporting role. Many soups that are purèed. You must use a blender to. But I digress. I replaced the one medium russet potato called for in several recipes I reviewed with 1 cup cooked chickpeas in the recipe I ended up with. You could use canned bu...The r...

On my way to breakfast at Lynns house yesterday - buttermilk biscuits, eggs, sausage gravy and fruit - I bought buttermilk for the biscuits. A quart. Why doesnt buttermilk come in pints and half-pints as it did in my childhood so I dont end up with left-over buttermilk? Will I buy buttermilk just for smoothies?

I dont make mac and cheese or any pasta at home, nor do I order it in restaurants. Why? Because the angel on my shoulder reminding me that, Its not as much about what you eat, its about portion size. gets smacked into oblivion by want.
