Dinner: Chicken Chile

On January 24, 2012 By admin

So. Here’s how it goes at our house: Sundays are insane. We wake up early. We go to church. We have meetings (before and after church). We play our instruments. We have people dropping by to say “Hi!”. We eat a serious amount of comfort food. We collapse on the couch. Because of the intense [...]

Lunch: Curry Chicken Salad

On January 10, 2012 By admin

Who doesn’t have a Curry Chicken Salad recipe? Wait, did I just offend you by asking who doesn’t have one and you don’t have one? Lame. To make up for my lack of tact, I’ll give you one right now. This is from the June 2000 issue of Sunset Magazine. If you don’t subscribe to [...]

Happy New Year! Please excuse my long absence. Like you, I was busy cooking, baking, wrapping, cleaning, singing, and sleeping after all of it. Boy did I sleep. But I’m awake now and thinking about how I can tweak our eating habits in the New Year. Let me start with an oldie but goodie from [...]

Dinner: Cheese-Beans

On November 2, 2011 By admin

If I were being real I would add the word “casserole” to the title above. But, I’m trying to be sophisticated.

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

Salad: Corn and Black Bean Salad

On September 14, 2011 By admin

When we lived in Berkeley, we had a Sunday night tradition.

The salad below was brought by my dearest friend. She just threw it together. [...]
