Chicken Lettuce Wraps (PF Chang's copycat recipe) My garden is exploding with greens right now. We have been drinking more green juices and eating more salads than I can count. Sometimes when we're out in the backyard, my ever-hungry kids will even climb into the raised bed and start munching on kale leaves like overgrown rabbits! I don't say anything, for fear of startling them off and losing the magical moment. I had two beautiful heads of butter lettuce last week, so I used them to create one of my favorite copycat recipes for PF Chang's Lettuce Wraps. There are several versions of this recipe floating around the Internet, but in this one I Keep Reading
Simple Roast Chicken recipe
d Simple Roast Chicken In my former life (the one where I worked full-time outside my home and had no one calling me "Mama"), those tasty little deli rotisserie chickens made a regular appearance on our dinner table. Weeknights were busy, and a dinner that required no more effort than popping a steamy little bagged chicken into the grocery cart seemed like a great deal and an easy meal. I almost never bought those whole raw chickens from the meat department because the very thought of dealing with all that raw poultry and those freaky little giblets was a bit overwhelming and intimidating to me. When I accepted my position as full-time Keep Reading
Mushroom, Cheese, and Toast Frittata
Mushroom, Cheese, and Toast Frittata One of my goals for last year was to tighten up spending on the grocery/household line in our budget. Thanks to some good ol' fashioned discipline (and avoiding Target like the plague), I have shaved off over $300/month. Here are some of my favorite ways to save money on food: Cook your own beans. Eat more simple rice-and-beans dinners. Roast whole chickens (or buy at Costco). Use the bones to make & freeze chicken stock. Bake your own bread. I haven't bought store bread in months. Big savings! Eat more meat-free meals. Stop wasting food. Best way: keep your fridge cleaned out. Fried rice, Keep Reading
Graham Cracker Bread (recipe)
Graham Cracker Bread Thanks to these gray, rainy days I have been on a major baking kick. Granola bars, cookies, brownies, breads. If the sun doesn't come back soon, I am going to have to switch to elastic waistbands on all my pants. This week I was watching my kids roll out Play-Doh creations at the dining room table. It reminded me of one of my all-time favorite bread recipes, Graham Cracker Bread. The recipe involves splitting the dough into 3 equal portions, rolling each into a 12" rope, and braiding them together before tucking them into the pan to bake. The bread dough is really easy to handle and shape. Just dust off your Play-Doh skills, Keep Reading
Roasted Vegetable Winter Salad (gluten-free, dairy-free recipe)
Roasted Vegetable Winter Salad (gluten-free, dairy-free recipe) I used to be terrible at feeding myself lunch. I'd whip out lunch plates for my family like a short order cook at rush hour, but when it came to my own plate I rarely sat down to eat a real meal. I'd peck at some nuts and seeds or nibble on cheese and crackers like some kind of bird, while throwing in a load of laundry, emptying the dishwasher, and responding to three emails. Then I couldn't figure out why I was snappy and shaky and eating a fistful of chocolate chips at three in the afternoon. For the past month or so, I have been making a focused effort to eat a filling, nutritious Keep Reading
Vegan Caesar Salad recipe (with seasoned polenta croutons!)
Vegan Caesar Salad In an effort to put together some pieces of a heath puzzle, I decided to do an elimination diet. After doing extensive research (Google.) and talking to my doctor, it seemed more effective and recommended than a full food allergy panel. Before taking the plunge, I didn't really know anything about elimination diets. I assumed it was pretty simple: just eliminate all the fun food you formerly put in your mouth. (Turns out, that wasn't too far from the truth.) In the last week alone, I have turned down some of my very favorite junk food: Oreos, Pirate's Booty, S'mores, and the hardest of all... coffee. Oh, delicious, creamy Keep Reading
