So I'm experimenting with a new food art: pickling. Right now I'm trying out fridge pickles, that don't require a pressure cooker, but if I get this down who knows? I thought it would be a skill to learn before our summer garden produces more than we can handle at one time. I started with a batch…
Day 2: Greenwich Village and more
The next day of our NYC trip, we decided on a later start and took the subway over to Greenwich Village. It was a sunny cool spring day with a little wind, unlike the rainy day before. We walked over to Washington Square Park to see the Washington Arch the park view was amazing. We sat there…

Variations on Teriyaki Chicken
I have always loved teriyaki chicken. It was one of my favorite meals growing up served with broccoli and brown rice and a little pineapple in the summer time. But I fell in love with it even more when moving to Seattle; where everyone has their favorite teriyaki place, which they claim has the best…

A Taste of Home
During the past almost year of living New York, there have been several missed elements from my home state of California (for some see I miss my old life). One of the items in short supply (or quality) is Mexican food. I was spoiled in SoCal. Mexican restaurants are more plentiful than Mcdonalds'. Each restaurant…
Gluten-Free Low Cal. Meatloaf
Some nights it is just easiest to throw everything into the oven at once and with one dish have all of dinner ready. Luke's meatloaf is one of those dishes but between chunks of cheese and torn pieces of whole wheat bread it was getting to be higher in calories per serving than we were…

On Tuesday I said I'd share what we'd do with all the apple fest apples. Here's everything apple made with those crispy northern spy's: 1. Apple Chips First thing when we got back last Saturday I got out my new hand-dandy apple slicer and peeler and cut up 3-4 apples. Seperating them into rings I stuck…
Crock-pot Chicken Enchilada Soup
Adding to my fall favorite recipes (see fall food round up) is a new crock-pot soup recipe I've been working on. Much like our Lime Chili Chicken Soup (crock-pot lime chicken chili soup ) this one is inspired off of a Chili's restaurant soup. I have always like the Chicken Enchilada soup. After awhile I start to…
