Asian style barley

This post is going to be very short because of a softball injury I am having a hard time typing anything involving the right side of the keyboard.  However, I feel that with all this bread posting lately I have strayed off course.  I do not want this blog to turn into a self depreciating […]

Lemon quinoa

I hate it when I cook something and there is nothing self-deprecating to write about.  I have been staring at my computer screen typing and deleting such wonderful thoughts as the apple is red or the green spaceman jumped bail.  Normally in these situations I turn to my wonderful friend Mr. Coffee but even he […]

Mexican inspired quinoa

I hope that I am not the only one during the spring and summer who slows down on posting.  To me this time of year is meant to be enjoyed outside not spent inside trying to be creative or screwing around with Photoshop.
I really hit a creative wall today as I sit here sipping coffee […]

My major complaint […]

Chicken Broccoli Stir Fry with Hoisin Sauce

Stir frying is one of those things that is simple but easy to screw up if you are not prepared.  The main thing to remember is everything needs to be cut up and in arm’s reach because once you start it turns […]

Steak and Black Bean Stir Fry

The joy of losing power for 4 days is that everything in your refrigerator/freezer has to be replaced.  Thankfully I have two freezers in the garage that I use for meat so the freezer inside the house did not have much.  The items I did not want to lose (stocks and sauces) I was able […]

Chicken with Lemon and Garlic

Hopefully everyone had an awesome holiday and was able to get a lot done.
For Christmas Santa sent me a pasta maker and let me tell you this is turning out to be frustrating as heck.  I am close but still not to the point where I am happy with it.  No matter how much Molto […]
