Do you like fennel? I know I do. I really, really do! However, I don’t eat it as much as I’d like to. Why? Well, because frankly, I lack the inspiration as to what to do with it. Apart from this classic “Paper Thin Fennel Salad” which I’ve made and enjoyed on a few occasions [...]
You guys already know this. I have a thing for muffins. I have an even bigger thing for bran muffins. I will flip over backwards, then forward and sideways, and then backwards again for a bran muffin. The problem is, most bran muffins, although one might believe are healthy and good for you since they, [...]
I can’t believe it took me that long to come up with this bran version of an instant bake. I mean, if there is one thing that I can absolutely not resist in life, it’s a bran muffin. Ever since I was a little girl, I always considered them to be the ultimate muffin! In [...]
While summer is now officially behind us (such a sad thing to write!) melon season is still not over and I couldn’t pass up on the opportunity to try this last cold soup before it’s too late. Soon, too soon, we’ll be passing the microphone over to rich, velvety, piping hot squash and other similar [...]
To think that I came THAT close to not even taking pictures of this magnificent dish… As I was making it, I thought this was the biggest fail of all times. It looked nothing like what I’d envisioned! Nothing, I tell you. I’d been dreaming of a dish that resembled a stew, with big chunks [...]
In this household, this would be the ultimate “there’s-nothing-left-in-the-fridge-let’s-whip-up-something-quick” salad. The base ingredients are pretty much always the same: cooked shrimp, canned hearts of palm and canned baby corns. Then I explore the contents of the fridge and cupboards to find a few more layers of flavors and textures I want to add… or rather, [...]
Wow, I am so behind on answering comments and emails. Thank goodness I only left for a week, I feel like it will take me 2 weeks to get back on top of my game! Sheesh… I can’t even imagine how it is for those of you that have a blog that generates substantial traffic! [...]
If you’ve tried, or even read a few of my recipes, you’ve probably noticed one thing about me: I’m not really one to use big and bold spices. I prefer to use a few herbs and a little bit of salt and pepper. Very rarely will you see me bring out the big arsenal, such [...]
OK, this might sound a tad presumptuous, but this may very well be one of the prettiest pies I have ever seen. I couldn’t take my eyes off it the whole time(s) I was eating it! (I can already hear my daughter go: Say, Mom, are you sure you are being vain enough, here? I [...]
They say a picture is worth a thousand words, right? Since I have well over a hundred pictures that I would like to share here, that would translate into a hell of a lot of words, especially if I started adding a whole bunch of words on top of that! ;o) So I’ll try and [...]
Hey guys, I’m back! Wow do I have a lot of catching up to do! For starters, I will have to fill up the fridge! As you can very well imagine, it’s pretty empty for the moment… I still managed to feed myself today, though, so it’s not so bad. It will have to wait [...]
