Green Posole in a Green Kitchen
Green Posole
I don’t know what has overcome
me. My, oh my. It must be in the beans. In the quest of trying to be healthier
my husband has requested a diet of more beans and less white stuff. I know you
know what I’m talking about. Because, it’s like, my favorite category of foods.
Like sugar. And pasta. And rice. Let’s not forget about bread. Oh, it pains me
just thinking about it.

Carne Asada, Yes Chef and The Homesick Texan
Carne Asada with Pickled Onions
I love to exercise. Well, I do love to stretch. Does that count? Exercise is something I desperately need to improve at. Really what I love to do is read. I love to go the library. I dream of being locked in overnight. That wouldn’t be a nightmare for me. I’d bring lots of good healthy food to keep me company. Just kiddin’.
In any

Mexican Style Quinoa (Keen-wah) or 2013, The Year of Quinoa
Mexican Style Quinoa
Quinoa
(keen-wah) was on my table the other night. That and cauliflower salad. I was satisfied
with both but my husband wondered where the rest of the meal was. You know-the
protein? I tried to explain that quinoa had plenty of protein for his dinner
and I had added chicken to it, too. But you can’t take a man away from his
protein. Especially those that need to be sliced

The Banh Mi Uncovered
I love a
good sandwich. Though we all have our own definition of what a good
sandwich is- well, this what mine looks like.
Grilled Chicken Banh Mi Wrap
My
favorite sandwich is the Vietnamese Banh Mi. By now they are everywhere, except
at your local Subway. Boy, are they missing out. In Denver they can be found over on Federal Blvd which
is my not so secret stomping ground. I love

Pasta and Chicken Gratin and the Flu
Pasta And Chicken Casserole
My
daughter calls me often. She makes me happy. Yesterday she told me she cloroxed
her desk. It appears many around her have been getting sick with the flu. She
then went to get a flu shot. It was good thinking on her part as Pennsylvannia
is considered a high risk state. And then she started feeling achy. And she
couldn’t lift her arm. And she went home

Boboli Pizza or Dinner in Denver
Boboli Pizza
Baby, it’s
cold in Denver.
And after Saturday’s Bronco loss I think it got even colder. Frigid perhaps. I
don’t get excited about football but the rest of my family does. And I am sorry
for them and the rest of the Denver
fans. But now my husband will have time to clean the basement, and more to the
point-his office. Now that I can get excited for.

Chocolate Krantz Cake or Babka and Jerusalem
Chocolate Krantz Cake
Sliced!
It has
been almost a year since I’ve been in Jerusalem.
It is calling me. The past year was difficult as many things that were supposed
to happen didn’t and well-that’s the way the cookie crumbles-so to speak. Being
Jewish I get the equivalent of two new years and I really do try to make both
count. This year is all

Royal Thai Cashew Chicken with Stir Fry Veggies
Stir Fried Vegetables
My
husband informed me that it is a new year. I mean-like I didn’t know. He
informed me that the sugar has to go. I mean really –like I didn’t know. Well
it is always hard to let something you love slip away but I do feel a bit
sluggish. It is time to get back on a path of healthier eating. I’m going to
give it the old one two. Let’s see how hard I punch.

Breakfast Burritos
Egg and Potato Breakfast Burrito
Thanksgiving is over which means the turkey is close to being gone. We’ve had turkey sandwiches with cranberry sauce, turkey enchiladas, turkey and tamale stuffing with red chile sauce and fried eggs and I think we still have turkey soup and turkey salad to go. Not bad for the poor maligned turkey who I am very thankful for. I never understand people who

Chocolate Fudge Cake and an 81st Birthday
Chocolate Fudge Cake
It is a
new year. It will be a good year. (I’m supposed to say this twenty times a day
for 3 weeks and then my brain will start believing it.) I read that somewhere
but I won’t bore you with the other 19. It will
be a good year but right now I feel more optimistic telling you what will taste
good this year. I have made this triple layer chocolate fudge cake for
