Homemade Chicken Stock, Two Easy Ways

Store bought chicken stock is one of those products which really irks me. Even the seemingly good quality ones (organic, free range, low sodium, etc.) have long ingredient lists which include things like "natural chicken flavor" (shouldn't the flavor come from the chicken itself??). But somehow making homemade stock always seemed like so much effort! … Continue reading Homemade Chicken Stock, Two Easy Ways →

Roasted Spaghetti Squash

Ahhh, the crisp cool weather of fall...I don't know about you, but the end of the summer heat (and sunblock and chlorine and sand!) comes as quite a relief for me, and I welcome the leaves changing color and the cooler weather finally arriving. I am also excited about fall produce. Attempting to eat seasonally … Continue reading Roasted Spaghetti Squash →

Moroccan Lamb Stew

This post was originally published on June 1, 2010. Last time I ordered meat from my CSA, I decided to branch out a bit from my typical beef and poultry selection and bought two kinds of lamb - stew pieces and a lamb leg steak.

Salmon Burgers

Here we go with another late-summer burger recipe, this time featuring salmon! Throughout my life I have not been a huge fan of food that "lived under water", but with all of the talk about salmon being such a healthy food, I felt I owed it to myself and my family to get it into … Continue reading Salmon Burgers →

Barbecue Turkey Burgers

Sorry it's taken me until mid-August to post this recipe, but at least it's in time for your Labor Day barbecue! I am a big fan of a traditional hamburger made with grass fed ground beef, but every once in a while I like to switch things up and use turkey. I've found, however, that … Continue reading Barbecue Turkey Burgers →

Veggie Bolognese

In my never-ending quest to find ways to eat more vegetables, I was inspired by a recent recipe posted on Weelicious for Veggie Bolognese Sauce. What a great idea, making a chunky tomato sauce which includes multiple vegetables! But rather than follow this recipe, I decided to adapt my recipe for basic Meat Sauce and … Continue reading Veggie Bolognese →
