In my world there are two kinds of rolls. The kind you eat with soup and salad (hearty, rustic, chewy) and the kind you eat with a roast beef dinner (light, delicate, eggy). Because I don’t do roast beef dinners often (no offense, just not that into meat lately), I almost never make the latter. [...]

I’ve been told that one of my greatest talents in life is my ability to invite myself to anything. It’s true. I have a knack. Cringe worthy, yes. Useful? Depends on the circumstance.

Well, I have invited myself into an actual family. Yes, a family. The Tueller sisters. If you don’t know a Tueller, you [...]

Although Fall began officially in September. I can’t really grab a hold until October. And to celebrate my unofficial beginning of my very favorite season, I am posting one of my most frequently asked-for recipes. If I had a dollar for every time someone wants this recipe, I could buy another electric pressure [...]

Ahhhhh, comfort food. Here we go with another gem. My dear friends in Berkeley make this all the time. I was introduced to the dish when we were invited to their summer wonderland at Lake Tahoe. After a long day on the beach, the sun goes down and a breeze hits the air. You keep [...]

Dinner: Asparagus and Mushroom Crepes

On September 24, 2011 By admin

If you’ve ever had a baby and someone has brought you dinner, you never forget what they bring. Well let me rephrase that–If someone brings you dinner after you have a baby, chances are you’ll remember their meal. I remember some postpartum meals being the very best thing I ever placed in my mouth. This [...]

On September 22, 2011 By admin

Got a bunch of tomatoes hanging around this time of the year? I’ve got just the thing for you.

This recipe is a keeper. I’ve been making it for so long that I can’t even remember where I got it. But, it is a comfortable, healthy, Fall kind of meal. And while cooking with ground beef is not one of my favorite things, I’ll gladly buy a package for this meal. Now that I [...]

I have to be honest with you about this recipe. And don’t be mad. After talking to several friends about our doings this summer, we all agreed on one thing: We gained weight. Ouch. But, I’m here to tell you why I’m a bit chunkier now than I was in June. It’s because of the [...]

Salad: Corn and Black Bean Salad

On September 14, 2011 By admin

When we lived in Berkeley, we had a Sunday night tradition. When the weather was just right (90% of the year), we (all of our fellow graduate school neighbors) gathered outside of our apartments and had a beautiful supper during sunset. The salad below was brought by my dearest friend. She just threw it together. [...]
