What happens when you mix a plum & apricot? PLUOTS!
You can never go wrong with buying fruits and vegetables that are in season. Not only is this a great way to save money and enjoy the freshest produce, but it can also encourage you to be more creative and try new foods. Instead of grabbing the same apples, bananas or oranges you usually snack [...]
So, what’s the scoop on gluten?
What is gluten?? Gluten is the protein portion of wheat, rye, and barley grains. People with celiac disease or a gluten allergy cannot digest gluten. When ingested, gluten damages the lining of the small intestines, causing symptoms such as weight loss, bloating, diarrhea, gas, abdominal cramps, and/or vitamin and mineral deficiencies.

Fallen for Falafel!
If you haven’t tried falafel before, you need to hurry up and go buy some chickpeas to make this. Forget about the deep-fried stuff at the falafel stand; I have a recipe for you that is lighter and still oh-em-gee delicious. I adapted this recipe from one I found on www.epicurious.com. I made a couple [...]
My Intern’s French Love Affair…with crepes!
I must admit I am a big fan of a certain French food… crepes!!! This little pancake has become my French love affair. What’s so great about crepes is that it can be breakfast, lunch or dinner! Sweet or savory I love them either way. Since I enjoyed them so much I thought I’d try [...]
Pizza Anyone?
Years back I used to make homemade pizza every week and enjoy an episode of Friends. I’m certain that Joey could smell it through the airwaves! I craved both the show and the crunch of my favorite crust. Since television no longer appeals to me I have to find other excuses to make pizza…ha ha…not [...]

For me, Summer = Tomatoes. I am sure you are figuring this out by now. My garden is full of roma, beefsteak, big boy, and grape tomatoes. Some are ripe and ready to pick while others are just beginning to ripen and a couple plants are just beginning to produce. I prefer to space out [...]
Don’t Toss Out the Greens!
Have you ever bought beets with their beautiful greens still intact? And then thought…great, that’s a lot of waste. Ahhhh ha! They are not a waste! First, they keep your beets tasting fresher and keep in some nutrients by stopping oxidation. Second, they are really tasty in their own right! Don’t toss out the greens! [...]
