I'm looking ahead... to spring. By making colorful and happy food and beverage. A historic arctic blast is descending on the Northeast, though our area may be spared the worst of it. I can feel the dreaded cold creeping in... I'll be staying under the covers, sipping my juice and nibbling on my salad, made pretty and happy by the addition of the rarely used beets. Rarely used in my kitchen, that is. But that's going to change... I bought a boatload of beets. Okay, not a boatload, just a ... continue reading...

Fiesta Friday #469
January is almost over... let's collectively breathe a sigh of relief. It’s a tough month to go through, what with the foul weather, short daylight, bleak landscapes, etc. My cooking creativity is waning under these conditions. I’m losing my cooking mojo, gasp!

Let’s talk about the perennial New Year’s resolutions - eating healthier, exercising more, yadda yadda... Everybody makes them, right, myself included. And I have every intention of keeping them, of course. In reality, though, it’s not as easy as it seems. There are so many factors out there, like being lazy and disorganized for one, that can easily derail you from keeping your well-intended resolutions. So I thought maybe this year I’ll be more specific... eating healthy by having at least ... continue reading...
