You had me at sticky spiced cashews

I made this recipe knowing basically nobody would like it. But Kyle was out of town and I already had leftovers for the kids so I just figured I’d make this for me. This recipe comes from Anna Jones’ A Modern Way to Cook gifted to me by my sisters a coupe of years ago.  I’m sure I’ve talked about it before on the blog, because I’ve made several recipes from it. It’s a vegetarian cookbook and has so many unique and delicious dishes that I’d never come up with on my own. Like cauli rice… Read more >

Where I’m at

I know I posted two (!!) recipes this week, but I don’t have much else to share because I’ve been struggling with my diet. For some reason, my gut has been completely set on working against me this week.  I’m not sure if I’m all the way through it, but I just wanted to let you guys in on where I am right now.  Apparently my IBS is not always under control (even though it’s been a loooong time since it’s been this bad).  I don’t know what precipitated this reaction.  I have had cramping… Read more >

Cooking the Cover

It has been SO LONG since I participated in a BA #cookthecover I had a really long streak there for a while.  Maybe even a year straight?  But that was back when I had one child.  Ah simpler times.  😛 To be honest, Bon Appetit kinda fell out of my favor.  They weren’t coming out with recipes I wanted to cook. I am generally pretty optimistic when it comes to bookmarking things.  I am willing to branch out with ingredients I have never used.  And techniques I’m unfamiliar with.  But where I draw the line… Read more >
