Menu of the week: Oregano!

Herbs.  Herbs are a vital part of my cooking experience.  I just can’t cook without them.  It is always hard when I go up North for a weekend or to someone’s cottage and they don’t have the same stock of herbs as I do.  I love to cook wherever I go, so I have learned […]

Aloo Chaat Masala bowl

Crunchy, creamy, tangy, fresh, spicy. That was my lunch. Oh, and deeply satisfying, as well as fat free. How can one have all of the above you ask? Aloo Chaat Masala bowl. Aloo means potato. I can still taste the chaat masala (that is what they called it) […]

Menu of the week April 14th: Cornmeal Appetizer of the week: smoked salmon blinis

This week’s menu of the week is hosted by Karen at Glutenfreesoxfan and the secret ingredient is cornmeal. She is trying to make polenta for the first time. It is one of my staples as it can be seasoned in so many ways, but this week the polenta will take a back seat […]

Menu of the Week March 31st: Lemons!

Sunday: Wales, home […]

Vacation is over, I am back and ready to cook! Menu swap: better late than never!

We arrived back from the Pacific NW last night close to midnight. I can’t wait to post all about our adventures and some of the most delicious meals I have ever had. I ate seafood almost everyday and I will be recreating those meals for all of us!
11 days on the road and […]

Menu of the week; Cocktail of the Week: Ginger lemon fizz Feb 18th

I figured out my menu plan before knowing the “secret ingredient” butternut squash, so I will see if I can fit it in somewhere, perhaps some butternut squash curry soup for lunch on a day when I am working out of the house this week. This week’s menu is hosted by Gluten Free Sox! […]

Menu of the week, hopefully and beer is brewing!

Once again I am attempting to get organized.

2. It saves on trips to the grocery store.
3. I have a […]

Farm markets, goat cheese, knitting and finally Wheatland is here!

Well this started out as a food, knitting and brewing blog and got a little side tracked by all things food. I just started a new knitting project. People all around me seem to be in baby having mode, so I have started a baby blanket for my good friends who think they […]
