My husband and I are pretty different personalities in the kitchen. I often cling to a recipe for dear life, never straying. He almost never uses a recipe. I have always admired the way he takes whole spices and grinds them himself to make curry, never peeking at a recipe. Its different every time,…

Deliciousness Across the Bloggosphere
I love cook books. I just love collecting them and flipping through them. One of my favorite things to do is sit down with a new cook book and put little tabs on all the recipes I want to try. I love cook books with lots of big, bright pictures. Perhaps that’s why I love…
My Adventures in Juicing
Since my last post I did something I never thought I would do…I bought a juicer. My husband and I put together all of our Amazon gift cards that we got for Christmas and made the plunge. We were pretty excited to see this beauty on our doorstep (The box, not the baby. Although, she…
National Breakfast Month: Mango Coconut Overnight Oatmeal
Happy September! I am so ready for fall to be here. It is my favorite season. I am excited to show my daughter the fall colors for the first time, to wear my long-sleeved shirts, to be surrounded by football this and that, to drink apple cider, to roast vegetables without the whole house being…
Veggie Burgers with Beets, Lentils, and Bulgur Wheat
I am addicted to veggie burgers. Is that weird? I love them. I would order one over a hamburger any day. I have been kind of obsessed with making them lately. I have tried quite a few different variations and I have liked most of them, it just didn’t work out for me to blog…
Ice Cream Inspiration!
Remember, its ice cream month? I really wanted to post another ice cream recipe this month, but life happens. Between a spur of the moment trip to Chicago, 3 dentist trips, and a teething baby I just didn’t get around to making the Backyard Mint Ice cream I had planned. You’ll probably see it in…
Roasted Radishes
A couple weeks ago some of my neighbors were asking me what I had in my garden. I told them lettuce, cucumbers, tomatoes, strawberries, peppers, beans, peas, onions, and radishes. One of my friends mentioned that she likes to just munch on raw radishes. I mentioned that I like to put raw sliced radishes in…
Ice Cream Sugar Cookies and an Ice Cream Birthday Party
So I was working on a really healthy veggie soup post and I just kept thinking about these cookies. I made them over a month ago and I have been dying to share them with you. I wanted to wait until July though, because it is National Ice Cream month!!! Here is what good old…
New Take on Salad
It it just me, or have there been an excessive amount of those self serve frozen yogurt bars popping up everywhere? In Columbus, I see a new one opening up all the time. They have become really popular and I think the magic is in the toppings. From breakfast cereal to candy bars to mochi…
Fresh Fruit Tart
It’s summer people! I have already had a very exciting summer. Over the past two weeks I have ridden a segway, seen the play Wicked, visited a butterfly house, watched a glass blowing demonstration, hiked through a place that looked like it could be home to fairies with waterfalls and streams, visited lots of little…
