It’s cold here. (Like, really cold.) It’s so cold that it’s possible some mornings I turn the oven on before I even turn the coffee maker on. Just kidding. (Let’s not get ridiculous.) But it’s true that it’s cold, and it’s also true that cooking in the morning is a great way to warm up …

A Chili Morning (for a Not-So-Chilly Kitchen)
January 28th, 2013 | Posted by in Morning Craziness - (6 Comments)Cauliflower is not one of those vegetables I get really giddy about.

I’d love to be able to tell you that my kids are vegetable chow hounds. I have blog with “vegetables” and “kids” in the tag line after all, shouldn’t it follow that I get to tell tales of my little posse begging for broccoli, beans and beets? Shouldn’t I be writing posts about how easy …

Spicy Red Lentil Chili and CSA’s: Totally Related
February 19th, 2011 | Posted by in Healthy Habits - (8 Comments)CSA = Community Supported Agriculture. (Not “Can’t Stand Alison”, thankyouverymuch.)
