{my culinary adventure} Figuring Out Fish
When I grew up “fish” for dinner was Gordons Battered Fish filets. I actually enjoyed those and its partner in fish abomination, the “Filet of Fish” sandwich at Mc.D’s. Of course, I covered them in tarter sauce and cheese so I didn’t really notice I was eating fish. In my home, fish sticks was the…

{reflections on a new year} Looking Forward & Back
Just before Christmas I went to go visit my dad in Santa Fe. I hadn’t been to “The City Different” in sixteen years, which is now half of my life. When I lived there as a kid I took it for granted. It has a very slow pace, which I appreciate as an adult, but…
{gluten free recipe} Not-so-Sweet Granola
While I love granola, sometimes it’s too sweet for my liking. Don’t get me wrong, sweet granola has a place in my heart–and in my kitchen.

Most often I eat it sprinkled with nutritional yeast, but when given the opportunity to consume sweetened popcorn, I get excited….
{edible gift} Biscotti, Cookies for Adults
