If Meu hasn’t already convinced you to get more beans in your diet, please stop what you’re doing and let her persuade you. She has certainly inspired me to sneak more nutrient-packed legumes into my daily life. I love cooking with cannellini beans, partly because they are so versatile and soak up so many different […]
Let’s be serious for a moment, how many people actually look forward to eating lentils? When you are at a restaurant, you think “get out of my way cheddar and broccoli, this lentil soup is going to be the highlight of my day!?” Exactly what I thought…no one. We all know people only eat lentil […]
Everybody knows that muffins are cupcakes in disguise. I’ll never understand how they managed to trick all of us. Just remove the frosting and suddenly it is acceptable to eat them for breakfast or as a snack? The average muffin recipe is still full of butter and sugar. Those sneaky little things deserve a round […]
I don’t understand why stuffed mushrooms are not more popular. They should be a staple appetizer option at every restaurant. I must admit, my husband and I only ordered them for the first time because a waitress recommended them. But from that very first bite, we fell in love. We have been working to find […]
I love coffee, and I love coffee people. It seems to me, based on my very unofficial and purely anecdotal research, that you’re either a hot coffee person or an iced coffee person, but few are both. Now, I don’t want to brag, but I have the great fortune of loving both hot and iced […]
Remember being a kid and having a best friend who lived two houses down the street? Those were the days! We would spend so much time at each other’s houses that we felt like we were sisters (Hi Katie). If you didn’t like the meal one household was preparing, you could run to the other […]
Going out to brunch on the weekends is definitely on our top ten “remember how great life was before COVID” list. Brunch was the best meal of the week. You get to sleep in, it is acceptable for you to attend in borderline pajamas, and you are with your closest friends (only serial killers go […]
A few years ago, I was at an event with a friend, and we were camped out near the dessert table (no surprise there) munching on the array of cookies. She said, “Don’t you wish you could just eat cookies all the time?” It sticks out as such a clear memory because she said it […]
Have you ever seen an item of clothing that you like but think you can’t pull it off? For years, I was convinced I couldn’t be a hat person, despite loving hats, until one day I just started wearing them. Then, something magical happened–I became a hat person! I’m often like that with foods, too. […]
Thanks to an episode of Gilligan’s Island, I grew up with the wholehearted belief that Eating More Carrots = Having Amazing Eyesight. (Never mind the fact that the carrots on this particular Gilligan’s Island episode were grown from radioactive seeds that mysteriously washed ashore and gave Mary Ann superhuman seeing powers.) I wasn’t the only […]
