I was asked to make the communion bread for church last Sunday. A big responsibility! I needed to make sure that it was at least part whole wheat, but other than that I had free-reign. I wasn’t sure what I wanted to make, so after some internet browsing I decided on this no knead honeyRead more
I enjoy experimenting with new black bean burger recipes. There are so many tasty combinations out there that I can’t commit to just one recipe. This recipe caught my eye because of the corn! Sweet corn + spicy + smokey cumin + creamy savory black beans = yum! I definitely enjoyed all the flavorsRead more
Sister has been making this cake like weekly since rhubarb came in season. She was telling me how much Chris likes it even though he’s not normally that interested in baked goods. So I knew I needed to try it. We’re a big fan of rhubarb pie in this household, but our usual pie isRead more
Sorry for the delay in posting! Unfortunately I still don’t have power at my house, fortunately my uncle and his family are on vacation so we moved into his house for the time being. I’ve also been busy doing a Peripheral Blood Stem Cell donation (a type of bone marrow donation). I signed up throughRead more
So a galette is really just a free-form pie with the edges folded partially over the pie filling. They’re casual enough to make for yourself for lunch, but impressive enough to make for company.

For Tuesday’s dinner I decided to try making vegetarian Sloppy Joes. This was pretty challenging to get the right flavor without the flavor that the meat usually brings to the dish. But I think I created something pretty close. Sloppy Veggie Joes Serves 15-20 Adapted from Rachael Ray 1 Tbsp olive oil 3 bell peppers,Read more
Mom and I went berry picking the other day. We’ve been going berry picking for as long as I can remember. Growing up we always went strawberry picking and sometimes raspberry picking. While it wasn’t always my favorite activity due to the bugs and accidentally picking up gross berries, we would stop at a bakeryRead more
This is probably the recipe I’m asked for the most. It’s absolutely delicious and I don’t think I’ve ever made a different kind of chili. Hard-core carnivores love this too. I originally got this from Chris, Sister’s boyfriend, and I think he adapted it from a Moosewood cookbook. Chili is super adaptable, so taste asRead more
