Last night I made an assortment of grilled vegetables. All of the ones that are in a typical Ratatouille, except the tomatoes. Actually, I bought tomatoes, but decided not to include them because they seemed too special to grill. My idea was to layer the grilled vegetables, and have a deconstructed ratatouille. I took lots [...]

Seafoam Frosted Birthday Cake
Posted in cake, dessert, food, salad, vegetables on February 25, 2010 | 4 Comments »
Sounds awful doesn’t it? Seafoam frosting? What the heck, I don’t think it is meant to look or taste like seafoam. Bad marketing, I guess. Because the reality of this frosting is that it is incredibly delicious and luxuriously creamy, but fat free. Compared to most frostings, this one is actually not completely horrible for [...]
Get Well Soon Soup

When friends and family have had surgery, my first response has been to make a carrot soup that is like a health tonic. To me, and seemingly to those for whom I’ve made it, it is the first meal that makes them feel better. I even have one friend, for whom I made this, that [...]
No Measurements, No Recipes
Posted in dinner, food, pasta, thoughts, vegetables on August 5, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
My brother-in-law made an interesting comment to me regarding our divergent cooking styles. It turns out, that because of this blog, he thought that I cooked from recipes whereas he cooks without them. In reality, I use recipes as guidelines, and much of what I have posted (except for breads and sweets) I have measured [...]
A Turkey Burger Success!
Posted in starch, turkey, Uncategorized, vegetables on July 8, 2009 | 3 Comments »
The last time I tried turkey burgers, I had a total flop of a dinner. I was determined to try again, knowing so many people that love turkey burgers. In my paring down of the piles of cooking magazines, I ripped a page out of Bon Appetit, from August 2008. Just one year ago. The [...]
Vietnamese Chicken Salad

Make this! Vietnamese Chicken Salad is delicious! No batteries while I was cooking or eating and thus, no photos of the delicious salad. But you need to have fish sauce – pictured above. This salad was reminiscent in flavor to Green Papaya Salad. But, without the effort of trying to find green papayas and shred [...]

With just the two of us at home, I haven’t had to do much grocery shopping and I don’t want to over buy and waste food. I happened to have a few ears of cooked corn left from our dinner party on Sunday night and we had some leftover meat and fish, that we brought [...]
Black Bean Soup

Monday night, I made an old recipe for me, that is new to my family. It is a recipe for Black Bean Soup that was copied from the New York Times, given to me by a friend from work…about 16 years ago. I remember making it then, and loving it. I have made it since, [...]
Medium Well
Posted in chicken, dinner, food, vegetables on May 19, 2009 | 4 Comments »
Last time I checked, chicken was still supposed to be fully cooked when it was served. Juicy, but well done. Oops. Last night, mine came out medium-well. I had to boost the finished product with a little zap time in the microwave. Not the best solution, but if you have to give your medium-well chicken [...]
