    Here we go

    June 15, 2019 by

    We’ve shared a 30-year love affair with food since we met as college roommates. We love a great hamburger, a slice of pizza (or three), chocolate cake, a heaping plate of pasta and a grilled cheese sandwich anywhere, any time.  Once, we were young, thin, carefree and healthy. Now, we are… not so much.  We’re… Read more

  • Indonesian Gado Gado

    August 22, 2019 by

    Kimberly, You may or may not know that I’m not the biggest fan of the string bean. I’ve learned to tolerate them over the years since they seem to be the veggie of choice at sit-down wedding dinners and afternoon funeral luncheons. And now that I’m trying to make vegetables the focus of my meals,… Read more

  • Italian Food Snob

    Kimberly, You’ve known me for a very long time so you know that I’m a snob when it comes to Italian cuisine. I refuse to set foot in an Olive Garden, no one can make a cannoli shell better than my mother, and cheese does not come out of a green can… ever. So, trying… Read more

It was probably more carbs than I probably should have consumed but I’m justifying it with, “they are complex carbs”. Anyway, I made the recipe… Read more

  • The burger so not a burger, it’s a taco

    June 30, 2019 by

    Carolyn: I submit to you my first Vegan 8 recipe review, for the “Easiest Black Bean Burger,” actually from Vegan Richa’s Everyday Kitchen Cookbook. While it’s more than 8 ingredients, it’s definitely pretty quick and easy to put together. Especially if you have a food processor. At the point that I had thrown together the walnuts,… Read more

  • Asparagus soup

    June 23, 2019 by

    Carolyn: I’m starting the week with a bonus recipe  since I made it last weekend. One of my staff  had told me about Shalane Flanagan/Elyse Kopecky’s cookbooks since his wife is a runner and vegan. The asparagus soup is the first recipe I’ve tried, from “Run Fast. Cook Fast. Eat Slow.”  The “cook fast” definitely… Read more
