Why is it we call them “black” berries when they stain everything purple? I am guessing it has something to do with PurpleBerry not sounding as sweet?!? Thoughts? Blackberries are actually native to the US, and feed not only humans but many animals, too. Similar to other berries they are packed with antioxidants, to include [...]
For those who have been following my posts for awhile you’ll remember this cake: The one with the “special ingredient.” Well, I was asked to bring this cake to the last day of class–I am telling you–it’s good! So, this morning I whipped it up, and since I have left over sauerkraut I decided to [...]
Back in March I was contacted by the Midwest Dairy Council asking if I’d be interested in posting on the health benefits of dairy. Of course! I love my dairy products! So, why has it taken me so long? You know! The little thing called my masters! I am nearly finished–so close I can begin [...]
Yes folks, after 9 years of playing the role of “habitual grad student” I am finally seeing an end in sight! And darn it feels good! I have my last presentation tonight and due to an agreement with my fabulous professor (Dr. Buono) I must make something for the entire class–for the last 3 classes. [...]
This is a quickie, because it’s late and honestly these aren’t my recipes. :) Today, I threw together jambalaya in my crockpot (the house smells wonderful now), whipped up Marie Callender’s Cornbread (so simple and tasty why fuss with making it from scratch?), and these fabulous Orange Cranberry Oatmeal Cookies (with some minor adjustments). My [...]
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all (y’all)! ;o) I have been out and about enjoying the festivities and chaos! I spent Christmas in Mexico with my best friend and her family. We enjoyed a feast with Persian and Mexican influences! Definitely not a traditional American Christmas dinner, but absolutely delicious! Persian Rice Roasted [...]
During the holidays simplicity is a must! It’s so easy to get caught out shopping and fail to get to the grocery store to buy the necessary ingredients for your upcoming potlluck! Don’t you hate it when that happens? I do! So, I tend to keep this 3 ingredients on hand to whip up a [...]
This cake is so moist and delicious it almost seems decadent…almost! I love the secret ways to kick up the nutrition in desserts. You can increase fiber, vitamins and minerals, and decrease saturated fats and sugar all with a little help from fruits and vegetables! If you are craving something dark and chocolately don’t let [...]
If you were to ask my former students they would all remember me for a certain recipe. The first day of every semester I would demonstrate cooking with my favorite recipe: Zucchini Bread! Majority of the students would have perceptions that zucchini is a vegetable and not meant to be in a sweet bread, some [...]
It’s cherry season! Which is your favorite? Rainier, Bing, or Lambert? Do you enjoy cherries raw, dried, candied, simmered, or baked? Their flavor can really go a long way! In the summertime I often add them to my zucchini bread for a splash of color and some zing.One cup of cherries packs in 3 grams [...]
