I’m not calling you a dummy, I swear! Over the last few months, Adam and I have thoroughly embraced the delicious South Beach Diet side dish that is mashed cauliflower. One of the things that I’ve really missed in these months (with a couple of gaps for the holidays) following South Beach have been potato-based [...]

Sometimes, I’ll inexplicably crave something odd and random. Usually, it comes from someone at work quoting something random, and then by word association, yadda yadda yadda, I end up cooking something out of the ordinary. So today, a student asked something about people who “don’t eat no meat.” After correcting the grammatical error, I was [...]

Then, white chicken chili which, with its plethora of beans made for an extremely satisfying lunch today. And tonight? Tonight brought something back from a dear friend, who I [...]

We arrived slightly late, and rather than focusing my energy on taking photos of the food, I enjoyed the time with family and friends. [...]

I distinctly remember the first time I had a broccoli-cheese casserole. I don’t know that when I was little, we ever mucked up vegetables with things like cheese… butter, sure, definitely salt and pepper, but no cheese. We enjoyed vegetables on their own too much. But anyway, back to that casserole. I was about 21, [...]

After a far-too-long hiatus, the Sisterhood of the Traveling Pans met for what I’m calling PansGiving, or, in other words, The Traveling Pans Does Thanksgiving. It was a remarkable spread of quite phenomenal food from horseradish-cranberry sauce to squash spaetzle, and as always, the company trumped the food. We gathered first in Liz’s kitchen and [...]
