Food words are often mispronounced. I attribute this to the fact that so many of the foods we enjoy are not “American”. We love foods from so many countries here in America that we need lessons in how to correctly pronounce some of these words! How about “Ancho” or “Anise“, “Croissant” or “Boudin” (one of my […]
I am honored to host the November 2014 edition of Our Growing Edge-a monthly blogging event that brings bloggers worldwide together to share their recipes. You know what the best part of this is? I’ll be sharing them with you! Get excited…..get VERY excited! Let’s get started with Andre The Baker. She is 19, a baker, […]
I made these sweet little guys to throw on top of a salad but I’m here to tell you they make a delicious snack too. Pecans are one of my favorites and I love them toasted and served with salads. You can top just about any salad with a few toasted nuts for some added […]
One of the cool things about picking up and moving across the country is the adventure of meeting new people. We live in a neighborhood now, totally unlike our home in Texas, which was “out” in the country. We made a conscious decision to live in a neighborhood where we would be forced to meet […]
I had plans to make a healthy sauce using carrots and oranges, for some beautiful salmon filets I bought at the Fresh market on Saturday. Fresh Market has become, possibly, my favorite place to shop in Greensboro but I can only allow myself a trip there about every two weeks. It’s small and full of gourmet […]
It’s hotter than “blue blazes” in Texas, already! The heat and humidity make me want to eat lighter meals with lots of fruits and veggies. The blueberries at Saturday’s farmers market looked plump and juicy so I brought home a basket for snacking and to put in this healthy yet yummy salad. Low in calories, […]
Finding myself a bit overloaded this week has led me to take a look back and see what I was doing this time last year. Do you ever have those weeks where there’s not a thing wrong except your calendar is bursting with “to do’s”? That’s me this week! Last year I look back and […]
When I learned that my favorite peach orchard would be closed until next summer as of this weekend, I knew I’d better take a drive and stock up on fresh peaches. Ham’s Orchard in Terrell, Texas offers up fresh picked peaches all summer long but alas peach season is almost over. I’ve watched Ham’s go […]
“The true Southern watermelon is a boon apart, and not to be mentioned with commoner things. It is chief of this world’s luxuries, king by the grace of God over all the fruits of the earth. When one has tasted it, he knows what the angels eat. It was not a Southern watermelon that Eve took; we […]
I am truly in countdown mode for Monday night’s Central Market class. Only 2 days until the big event. I have an interesting and I hope engaging format for teaching a bit about bees, honey and the benefits of both. My man, Dan is my head audio visual guy and he’s put together an entertaining […]
