One of the major difficulties with eating a vegetarian or vegan lifestyle is finding healthy, tasty sources of protein. While Mike and I are now more "opportunistic eaters" in that we'll eat pretty much anything you serve us (but prefer organic, local, wild, etc ingredients), we were once ...
The other night (sorry, I've been a bit tardy on finishing this post) I took out some tuna from a fishing trip that Mike, my Dad, and I took last August. Laura likes her tuna cooked through, and I don't, so it takes a bit of creativity to put something on the table we both like. Typically, I ...
Who doesn't love a good macaroni and cheese side dish? I don't know anyone who will pass the stuff up. I made this recipe for a party I went to this weekend. The "theme" of the party was American food (we were rooting on the US baseball team while they were playing Canada in the World Baseball ...
As part of the salmon dinner in Georgetown, we also made homemade salsa (it wasn't our best blend, so I won't share the recipe) and my cousin Kenneth, made some spectacular guacamole (fingers crossed he'll contribute in the comments!). We all agreed that both dips were tasty but there was major ...
I have found that salmon is one of the most well liked meals around; it generally appeals to almost everyone except for the extreme fish haters (we did have one of those, see the chicken cooking on the left). It's almost universally available, no matter where you live and in general, it's not ...
In a recent conversation with my daughter and her fiance' Mike, there was some discussion about the 'symbols' of the different states. They had some misconstrued ideas about what Texas is all about and I feel it is my duty to clarify these gaffs so those reading this post will never see Texas

We get a gallon of milk delivered to our house from the local dairy every week, and we somehow got behind on milk consumption so this weekend I found myself with almost 2 gallons of milk in the fridge. There was no way it would all get drunk before the next delivery, so I decided chocolate ...
OK so this post isn't about something I cooked in March, BUT I have used these spices in recipes on this blog so I thought I'd show where I got them! We have a pretty large garden at our house in Denver, and last summer we had a great big crop of herbs, especially parsley and rosemary. As the ...
Apple Pie may be the American model dessert, but in Texas, where Pecan trees are the state tree, Pecan Pie rules supreme!! My nephew Kenneth's version has only one problem, it is suppose to set for 2 hours after cooking and he has never made it that long before someone HAS to cut into this ...
Texas is big and reputedly every thing in Texas is big as well. So it should come as no surprise to anyone that during our recent Mom/Daughter trip to the Austin area we would have a "Big" time and "big" dinner at my sister's home in Georgetown. A mere 30 miles north of Austin, the capital of ...
