Originally published on October 30, 2009 I made these for Maddie’s second birthday party and honestly, I knew they would be good but I didn’t realize just how heavenly they would be! I hate it when ingredients get lost in a recipe but you can truly taste each and every thing that’s put into these […]

Laura’s Cauliflower Gratin
Originally published May 16, 2012 I watched the episode that Laura Calder made this dish and it was one of those ones that looked so good I had to make it that night. I did substitute in cheddar cheese for the pricier cheese that I almost never have on hand – Gruyere cheese, which Laura […]
Gordon’s Green Bean Satay
Originally published on January 3, 2014 I saw Gordon Ramsay cook this dish on his Food Network show, “Gordon Ramsay’s Ultimate Home Cooking.” (Don’t have the app yet, as I’m waiting for a reason to spend $6.99 on such a thing, but it is available in the App Store.) I was intrigued that someone combined […]
Tempura Green Beans
Originally published on January 7, 2014 Did you know that today is National Tempura Day? I tell ya, it’s getting hard to keep up with all of these food holidays, with one landing on nearly every single day of the year. Best to just find the ones you really love and celebrate those alone, I […]
Stuffed Tomatoes
Originally published on January 16, 2014 You can take just about any vegetable and stuff it with just about anything and I’ll love it. The same is true for these tomatoes (I know, I know, tomatoes are actually a fruit!) The things I stuffed these with are just the items I happened to have on […]
Cucumber and Tomato Salad
Originally published on March 14, 2014 I’m one of those people that doesn’t see a whole lot of point in having lettuce in salads. I mean, I have nothing against lettuce per se, but when there are so many other delicious vegetables, what’s the point? In Caesar salad, I get it. It’s a main component. […]
Sweet and Sour Cucumbers
Originally published on March 15, 2014 Yesterday I gave you a classic recipe for a cucumber and tomato salad, which is always a big hit at our table. But I recently discovered a side dish that might just replace that salad. You take away the oil and the tomatoes and replace it with sugar (just a […]
Cauliflower Tots
Originally published on March 20, 2014 Of all the cauliflower recipes I’ve given you this week, this one might be my favourite! I once watched a Diners, Drive-Ins, and Drives where Guy Fieri interviewed a restaurant owner that made his own tater tots. There was much discussion about how this was a very difficult thing to do, and how […]
Cabbage and Bacon
Originally published on March 25, 2014 Bacon really does make everything better. I love cabbage just about any way you cook it, but I know a lot of people that don’t. But if you want to reap all the health benefits it holds, and not be distracted by that taste and texture you just can’t […]
Martin’s Zucchini and Mushrooms
Originally published on April 21, 2014 You can name just about any main dish and the chances are good that I’ll be even more interested in the sides that come with it. That includes steak, and even pasta. There’s just something about side dishes that’s so good! So when my brother came up with one that includes […]
