Easy Homemade Falafel
When I was in graduate school in Chapel Hill, NC, I lived right outside of downtown Chapel Hill. I was pretty much within walking/biking distance of the campus, and I spent a lot of my time in the downtown area, frequenting the many restaurants and shops on Franklin Street. One of my favorite little eateries was a Greek/Mediterranean place that had the best hummus, greek salads, falafel and baklava. I wou…
Panela Pecans
Yesterday after a fun-filled 4th of July celebration, I came home and sat down to put my feet up and watch the new Cooking channel. I had recorded the Indian Cooking show and thought I’d see what they had prepared. They were featuring curries, which I love and will prepare some day this week (stay tuned!), and for dessert she made Jaggery Walnuts. Knowing that we had jaggery in the pantry and kn…
Vegetable Pasta Italiano
I just love a meal I can throw together in a few minutes. This is super easy and makes use of prepared organic marinara sauce. I’ve tried it with all kinds of pasta sauces and you just can’t go wrong. I add veggies to it and prefer to leave them chunky, but my sister always “hid” the veggies in hers by pureeing them so her kids wouldn’t know there were veggies in there. Som…
Easy Italian Bruchetta
Many of you know that I have an organic produce business, and I also coordinated AND had a booth for my business at the Fayette Co. Earth Day Festival here in Georgia. I sell a great Marinara Sauce through my business and had it at my booth at the festival. I also had fresh organic herbs and my man, David, made some fresh bread so I could do some samples of the Marinara Sauce at my booth. Wow! What a winning comb…
How to Cook Greens……for St. Patricks Day!
Ok, I’m from the South, what can I say…. I love greens! I got Kale in my Gaia’s Greens box last week, and Collards this week so it was time to cook up some greens! And then when I realized it’s almost St. Patricks Day and Greens are, well….Green, I knew for sure that this was something our readers would want to know about. I mean just think about it … Corned Beef & G…
Bacon Wrapped Jalapeno Poppers
You know it’s really hard to do a bacon recipe when you don’t eat bacon! It’s not that I don’t like bacon, I really love it! But about 5 years ago, I somehow became allergic to all pork, beef and lamb, so bacon had to be struck from my meal plans. No BLT, no bacon & eggs, no BBQ pork…. so sad!! That said, we were headed to a friends house for a cookout and I needed to take som…
Bacon! Bacon, Cheddar, Jalapeno Cornbread
One of my favorite meals growing up was a simple bowl of navy beans and cornbread. Every time I would go to my grandparents’ house to visit, my grandmother would always fix this simple but flavorful meal for me the first night I was there. I still love this combination, and make it occasionally for my family. Today, since it’s bacon week here at Foodwhirl, I’m shaking things up a bit and…
Heading back to work…
…is looming over my head. I’ve been out on maternity leave for the past three months, and while I’m looking forward to the adult interaction and intellectual stimulation that comes with doing my job, I’m not looking forward to leaving my three-month-old baby behind. He’s just now starting to get really interesting. Having been home for the last few months has meant ge…
