I had to cook dinner in a pinch and didn’t have much on hand, but lentils. I should have used Alison’s recipe she offered me last time, but I didn’t have access to the laptop. I’m getting awfully dependent on this thing! So, I tried one with ham since my last one had no flavor. [...]

I met a colorful character in the blogging world named Alison at Alison Amazed. Born British, but brought up in Canada, her blog is littered with both English and Canadian terms. I adore folks who have one foot in one culture, the other foot in another culture and a finger and toe in a third [...]

A family member was kind and generous enough to send me one of her cookbooks. She collects cookbooks and reads them like magazines, but this was one she didn’t use much. She’ll be thrilled to find I discovered some recipes I really liked. I tried the black bean recipe courtesy of Kay Ward.

Remember in middle school when the lunch lady plopped a lump of “stuff” on your plate? Upon inspection, I could never decipher the ingredients… meat and maybe something else. To me, meat loaf conjured images of nasty school lunch. I never had any desire to try it. Now that I’m grown, however, my taste buds [...]

I normally make my collard greens the way mama taught me. Two bunches of collards, 1/3 cup of water and a ham hock. Stir them every time you think about it—-6 hours on low on the stove. This works. They are scrumptious. I’ve tried flavoring with ham hock, pork neck bones, turkey necks, turkey wings, chipped [...]
