This morning I discovered day old cottage cheese and a little bit of milk that was 2 days past its sell-by date. I don’t know how either of them were overlooked. They both passed the sniff check. Then I was brave and did the taste test and again they both passed. So I decided toRead More

Easy Gluten-Free Sandwich Thins
This idea was inspired by the Bread Slabs in Cooking for Isaiah. Nardone used her basic pizza recipe to make thin bread slabs for sandwiches.

Batch Broiling and Pasta Salad Recipe
Now that our weather is cooling off, I can resume batch broiling boneless, skinless chicken breasts.

Grinding Coriander (Cilantro Seeds)

Green Beans with Garlic
The green beans have only come in dribs and drabs for most of the summer. However, I am finally harvesting them fast enough to serve green beans as a side dish, rather than merely using them as an ingredient in soup. I prefer to eat my veggies with just enough seasoning to highlight their naturalRead More

Container gardens are not just for apartment dwellers! Even though I live on several acres and have a nice sized garden, I have a container garden.
