Food For Thought: Please, for the love of all that’s good and holy, say no to GMO
There are hundreds (if not thousands) of mad scientists out there right now, at this very minute, working away in labs all over the world, messing around with our food supply. Scientists involved in the development of genetically modified foods are using their powers for evil and not for good if you ask me. The […]
Food For Thought: Warning—Do not read while eating store-bought bread
Let me ask you something… Would you purposely put a bowl of wood chips in front of your children in the morning, pour some milk on it, hand them a spoon and tell them to eat it? How about slicing up some pizza topped with human hair clippings, swept off the floor of a barbershop […]
Food For Thought: The skinny on fats and oils
Olive oil, extra virgin olive oil, canola oil, walnut oil, avocado oil, flaxseed oil, rice bran oil, coconut oil, grape seed oil, safflower oil, and sunflower oil . . . there are so many different types of oils staring back at you from the grocery store shelf that you almost need a degree in food […]
Food For Thought: Saving Time is the Key to Saving Dinner
I’m big on preparing fresh meals from scratch, but I also like to be realistic. Cooking should be an adventure, but hopefully a fun one and not a frustrating experience! If you’re trying to transition from feeding your family with packaged meals and takeout to good home cooking, you deserve a big pat on the […]
Food For Thought: Making it your own
Dear Friends, Without going into arduous detail, suffice it to say that buying and moving into my new house (new to me anyway) was a small act of God. The obstacles, delays, and endless frustration started in December and finally ended in April with a triumphant closing. It almost felt like giving birth. And today, […]
Food For Thought: Need a vacation? Take a taste tour of Europe!
What if we could hit London, Amsterdam and Munich in the same day? We may not be able to physically see everything, but we could certainly taste our way through all three fabulous cities, couldn’t we? Here are three tastes from three European favorites, enjoy! My British father (Peter) made these when I was growing […]
Food For Thought: Want to learn to love fish?
So many people tell me they can’t stand fish. The “fishiness” and the texture just take out any desire to eat it. And yet we all know how healthy fish is, right? But hey, you’re a big girl and you want to try it again? Come now, I’ll help you! The key to getting properly […]
Food For Thought: Saddle up for some great grub!
I had the pleasure of seeing a real-life cattle drive in Fort Worth, Texas not too long ago. Longhorns ambling down the road with a cowboy on his horse whooping at the cows to keep them off the sidewalks (and off the people, LOL) I do think it appropriate to partake of cowboy chow while […]
Paprikash
I just saw (again) for the 900th time, When Harry Met Sally. That movie still cracks me up and a favorite part is when Harry is teaching Sally to talk funny in the museum, “Waiter, there is too much pepper in my paprikash. But I would be proud to partake of your pecan pie.” Remember […]
