If you’re like me, turning the calendar from December to January, also motivates you to eat healthier. Before you groan, healthy doesn’t have to always taste like cardboard. People don’t stick with healthy eating plans because healthy food can be boring and you can get in a rut of grilled chicken and broccoli. Here are [...]

I adore poutine. I really don’t even say the word as much as I squeal it in sheer delight. And no, it’s not a euphemism for a female sex organ, poutine is the classic Canadian comfort food of salty, crispy on the outside, soft on the inside French fries, smothered in a brown gravy, topped [...]
This year for Christmas, my Mom gave me the Food & Wine Annual Cookbook 2011. As a scanned the book to see if there were any recipes that jumped out at me, I was most intrigued with the salads in this edition. When you’re trying to eat more vegetables, it’s nice to have an array [...]
It’s been a while since I’ve had a good food post. To be honest, I haven’t been cooking that much great food lately. Apparently when you eat well, you don’t necessarily eat healthy. Since I’m not getting younger and I’m trying to get thinner, I’ve been eating healthier. I’ve been losing weight though which is [...]
It’s 6 PM on a Friday night, you’re driving home from work, you’re tired from a long week at work and you’re hungry. So what do you do – pick up take out? Order a pizza? Nuke some frozen hockey puck in the microwave? No – get thee to the grocery store and make HG’s [...]

I also love Swedish Meatballs, you remember those right? They were all the rage in the [...]
So what’s the best cure for a rainy, dreary afternoon? A piping hot bowl of gooey, stringy, French Onion Soup Gratin. The rich, sweet, oniony broth, topped with bread and melted cheese – delicious. You order it in restaurants but how many of you actually make it at home? And buying the frozen version [...]
I’ve been trying at least once a week to feature a recipe in my blog because I love cooking and I want all of you to eat healthy, well at least home cooked food more often than simply nuking a frozen dinner in the microwave or eating popcorn (No names Marci) or eating fast food. [...]
OK this makes a LOT of pasta, but if you buy those disposable aluminum trays, you can wrap one in heavy duty aluminum foil and freeze it or give it to a friend. That’s what I am doing with my second tray – giving it to a friend. She’s had a rough week. 1 ½ [...]
After three blog posts today, I swore I’d step away from the laptop. So I went out to my car to retrieve a box my coworker and friend Maryann gave me. It has some cookbooks from her house that she didn’t want. She knows I am a wanna-be iron chef so she thought I might [...]
