Blogging from my heart in Boise, Idaho
Scones before baking The holidays have brought out my craving for something sweet and yet something new.... Scones, perhaps? My dilemma was that I don't drink milk. No milk or cream in the house. Hmmmm. However, I do have plain, non-fat organic yogurt. It not only worked but I betcha it cut the fat calories... Continue Reading →
Chili Cook Off at Keller Williams Realty Boise last week. I did not win. However, I can say that I had no chili left. Hmmm. How on earth can real pork shoulder compare to ground beef!!! And beans!

I saw a recipe online this week, and decided to try it in my attempt to be more wheat free. Traditional tabbouleh uses bulgur and I honestly, I have not made tabbouleh for years because of this. I wanted something healthier. Why not cauliflower? And, while I am at it, why not use arugula? Cauliflower... Continue Reading →

Delicious dinner and we went to the gardens with very happy tummies! Verde Sauce 1.5 lbs fresh tomatillos 4 garlic cloves, not peeled 1... Continue Reading →
I watch NFL football in style. So today, I made tuna poke. I am fortunate that my local Costco carries very good grade ahi tuna, and a small package caught my eye this weekend. I knew in my heart of hearts that poke was it's destination. I had all the ingredients at home. The only... Continue Reading →
