Blogging from my heart in Boise, Idaho
Last March when all of us were hoarding toilet paper, paper towels and sanitizer products, I stocked up on grains and legumes. After all, I use glass storage jars to keep certain foods fresh. My favorites are the French canning jars that have the wire rails and clamp shut over a rubber seal. I frequent... Continue Reading →
I have a confession to make. I bought a 5lb bag of almond flour at Costco with no plans on what to do with it all. Not a good idea, note to self. So, I thought I would make good use of the bananas I had in my freezer. I searched a few recipes, added... Continue Reading →
It is official harvest season from neighborhood gardens! All the posts I am seeing on social media confirm certain vegetables and herbs are ripe for the picking! Pun intended. My favorite use of basil is to make a paste instead of a pesto. For one thing, not adding nuts or cheese makes my paste easier... Continue Reading →
I had a hankering for gnocchi with a deep flavored sauce and spinach. Then I thought, wait, I can add a few other ingredients for a skillet lasagna, right? By trial and error, I found the perfect size cast iron skillet for my gnocchi lasagna. 10†was a tad small, 13.5†was a bit too... Continue Reading →
Some mornings, especially the weekends, I make a breakfast dish so that I have leftovers for the week. That way I don’t necessarily have to think about what to eat to start my day out right. I used to be of the mindset of skipping breakfast, but to be honest, protein is a good way... Continue Reading →
I use those French canning jars to store things in my kitchen, you know the kind that clamp down to close shut. I have been looking at a very large jar that is full of rolled oats, oats that I bought for one recipe. The jar was haunting me because the oats were not being... Continue Reading →
I was in the mood to make a healthy treat for our team before I left town last week for a real estate conference. After finding a few recipes and changing the ingredients to make it Laurie style, I made this recipe up and sharing with you! Ingredients 1 cup Medjool dates, pitted, cut in... Continue Reading →
I was craving my Savory Squash bread, which I originally posted in 2015. It was a year after Paul died, and I had become comfortable in the tiny house I moved into, comfortable in the tiny kitchen I navigated each day. I was comfortable again. But, if life teaches us anything, it is that we... Continue Reading →
I had a few Yukon gold potatoes left over from the holidays, and I kept seeing them in my kitchen. They were literally begging me to do something about their fate. Okay then! Pattie cake or Pancake? Since I love hash browns and green onions, I went to work and grabbed my box cheese grater.... Continue Reading →
Okay, truth be told, I love tzatziki dip and I was introduced to raita sauce a few weeks ago. One more confession: the local Whole Foods has elevated my taste because their version of tzatziki is spicy, a trait I willingly confess to. I just love spicy and savory rather than sweet and whatever. And... Continue Reading →
