Food Friday: Liveblogging Recipe Roulette
I have NO idea what we’re having for dinner tonight. When I’m on my game, I kind of have a rough idea what the week looks like, but this week I’ve been decidedly off my game with a big work crunch, so it has been willy-nilly, who-needs-to-eat-anyway all week long. I feel like I’ve made…

I know it’s been a little thin around here on Food Fridays (ha! not that thin, really) but believe me, if you think the writing about food has been sparse in the last few weeks, you should try eating here. I heart Trader Joe’s Roasted Vegetable Pizzas! But anyway. Spring is on the verge of…
Read MoreFood Friday: Merepoint Banana Bread
If you haven’t figured it out by now, I would rather bake anything, anyday than cook. I do love cooking, but I REALLY, REALLY love baking. Given that, I’m often trying to figure out things I can bake that offer some nutritional value and that won’t clog our arteries and make our thighs look like…

So this dip is a GEM. You will have people around you begging for the recipe, as I did when I first tasted it at my friend Elke’s house, and she was kind enough to share the recipe with all of us. Now you are lucky enough to have me share it with you. And…

Okay, it may be late on a Friday, but I wouldn’t let you down. Most Fridays, anyway. It being February and past the holier-than-thou diet month of January, I think we can loosen up a little on the healthy stuff, plus I hear there is a big game this weekend. While I’m not a football…

So, I was all set to tell a potty story today, but it seemed in poor taste (ha!) coupled with Food Friday, especially given the recipe I am presenting today. And that’s all I’m going to say about that. You’ll just have to stay tuned for exciting! potty! stories! * * * I was trying…
Read MoreFood Friday: Skinny Pot Pie and Skinny Mac-n-Cheese
Before I get on with today’s exciting post I have a little bit of housekeeping to take care of. (You can file this under the category of NOT THAT YOU ASKED AND WHY, EXACTLY, DO I THINK YOU CARE?) I think I unfairly represented the number of page views I get, and since so many…
Read MoreFood Friday: Island Pork Tenderloin Salad
At the risk of sounding like a complete tool or the ultimate parody of a food columnist, I can seriously say this: our good friends from California cooked this for us at their seaside home one summer evening and this savory delicious meal, seasoned with great company and a fantastic view, had us hooked from…
Read MoreFood Friday: Some “leftovers” from 2007
Food Fridays are back, after some serious slacking in the blogging department from me, or perhaps we can just call it a RESEARCH sabbatical. Which was very productive—oh, the research I did. Thus, before we move into the realm of new recipes for 2008, let’s review a few outstanding points from 2007. Warm Croissant Chocolate…
