Blogging from my heart in Boise, Idaho
Edamame is one of my favorite beans, and it's the number one appetizer I order when I eat sushi. Years ago, a restaurant in Boise had edamame hummus on their menu, and they had sour cream as an ingredient. I tried to copy the recipe, using tahini instead. This is my result! Ingredients 1 ½...

I seriously should have taken a picture of my out-of-control sage plant in my garden last week. After harvesting most of it and de-stemmed the leaves, I had 28 cups of sage, medium packed. Twenty eight cups! Then the dilemma followed: what would I do with all of that? I found a recipe for walnut... Continue Reading →
Ah, this is the time of year we tend to simply give away our rhubarb. I have not bothered to plant it since I am the recipient of literally bushels of the odd plant we love to almost hate. Too tart and yet oh so sweet with the right combination of other ingredients. I found... Continue Reading →
Simply put, I was craving lime juice. I bought limes. I bought a cabbage mix with carrots from Trader Joe’s. I needed a good dressing to bring the two together. Voila! Ingredients 1 cup packed cilantro, stems removed 6 small green onions, or ¼ cup chopped 3 cloves garlic, pressed ¾ cup lime juice, I... Continue Reading →
First of all, I must make a confession. I made a tomato based red chile sauce last month and canned a dozen pint jars plus four quart jars. Needless to say, I had to adjust this recipe so that you don’t have to make a huge batch of chile sauce as I did. So, Instapot.... Continue Reading →
I used to make a great creamy cilantro dressing, based on the dressing from the El Torito Grill in California. However, after meeting the owner of ExtravaGONZO Foods for the umpteenth time at either the Boise Co-Op or Whole Foods in Boise, I challenged myself to adjust the ingredients to use two of their flavored...

These days, I am constantly laughing at myself. I really did want to be a comedienne back in the day. Now, as a Realtor, I can still make people laugh so that their real estate process is fun, less stress. And, my friends? They know they will always have a fun time listening to my...

Ok I have a confession to make. My sister and I don't like turkey. So, we did an Italian pot roast in a slow cooker on Thanksgiving day. She swears by the 12 hour rule, but we did a 4.25 pound roast on low for 6 hours and then high for 2 hours. Was absolutely... Continue Reading →
UPDATE December 2021: I have recently changed to a plant based diet and I felt this recipe was due for a change. Switched out eggs and honey in favor of pure, dark maple syrup and olive oil. Recipe is now vegan! This will be your go-to gift for the holiday season. Thank you, too! Ingredients... Continue Reading →
I cannot believe I did not take a picture of my squash muffins as they came out of the oven, golden brown, cheese melted, fragrant from the chives. Oh well, you will simply have to bake these and send me your pictures! Ingredients 2 cups squash, yellow & zucchini, grated, drained well 2/3 cup fresh... Continue Reading →
