Monday, November 16th, 2009

Stress has gotten the better of me. Big changes are coming, the unknown is all around me, and overwhelm seems to be a common term in my vocabulary these days…time to make cookies!

Nectarine Upside-Down Cake

Wednesday, September 2nd, 2009

C. loves this recipe and I am sure she is going to be quite surprised that I made it with nectarines, and have created a gluten-free version too!  In Key West we would make this every so often with fresh mangoes which we were fortunate to have occasional access to on the island.  The original […]

Gingered Rice Stuffed Peppers

Sunday, August 30th, 2009

Color, flavor, crunch…these peppers have it all. I have been making this gingered rice recipe from Vegetarian Times Magazine for a few years now.  In my first few years in Key West I would purchase these magazines religiously.  Always looking for new ideas on great vegetarian meals I definitely found my share.  I have bookmarked […]

Involtini di Melanzane (Eggplant Rolls)

Sunday, August 9th, 2009

Having a garden this summer has been really exciting!  I am so grateful to my neighbors for sharing a little space in their sun-kissed yard with me.  It has been fun to pretend that I know what I am doing, and just start planting, watering and harvesting.  Every so often I get a tip from […]

Pasta with Almond Tomato Pesto Sauce

Wednesday, July 15th, 2009

Tonight I flipped through old photos of my dear friends from Florence and smiled remembering all of the great times we had together.  Considering it was Italy, a lot of the fun involved good food, and social gatherings.  Living in Florence was a great influence on my life in so many ways and I don’t […]

Oven Baked Fries

Friday, July 10th, 2009

French Fries…it is such a stereotype to think that all French people love French Fries…but I have to say my Frenchie fills that stereotype to a ‘T’.  She is crazy about fries and it is a big craving food for her.  How wonderful to have a healthy version of the French Fries to fill that […]

Flax Veggie Burgers

Thursday, July 9th, 2009

Isn’t it wonderful when you look in the fridge and you have all of the exact ingredients you need to make your favorite recipe?  I know it doesn’t happen that often, especially without having planned it, and gone out specifically to get them.  This happened to me last night.  It just so happened that everything […]

Sundried Tomato Avocado Spread

Thursday, July 9th, 2009

I cannot take credit for this amazing creation, but it is so good I also don’t want to keep this delicious secret to myself.  C. invented this yummy combination of flavors and for some reason I always have to nag her to make it.  I love it!  I was please to eventually discover that it […]

Apologies and Fudge

Friday, July 3rd, 2009

I can’t believe over a month has passed since the last time a shared a recipe and story.  I have been yearning to share more recipes, and have definitely been cooking a lot, but the elements have not been coming together for blogging.  As some of you know, I have relocated to Cape Cod for […]

Roasted Vegetable Tart

Saturday, May 16th, 2009

The other night we had a dinner party with some of our friends here in Boulder. It was great to see them again as time seems to get away from us when it comes to socializing.  When it comes to having a dinner party, I am always happy to create something that I don’t usually […]
