Roasted cabbage: Don’t knock it til you try it, people! I must say, I am not a huge fan of cabbage. I don’t like it in coleslaw or salad and the thought of boiling it just makes me think of that shit people make on St. Patty’s Day (boiled cabbage and crap meat or whatever). […]
Super Green Kiwi Cucumber Melon Smoothie

I adore this smoothie. And for once, Jim actually wasn’t a huge fan. For someone who eats like a starving child (for example, he ate 2 veggie burgers, half a tomato tart, popcorn and a huge portion of red lentil dal for dinner the other night), he is super particular about his smoothies.

That being said, please accept my apology for these less than stellar pictorials of these yummy, basic […]
Lemony Tomato Basil Tart

This tart is just so adorable (only I would refer to food as adorable). And tomatoes are especially pretty this time of the year. But ugly tomatoes are my world. Especially when my farm sells ten pound cases of what they call “2nd tomatoes” for just $10. These overlooked tomatoes tend to be a bit […]
