Posted on February 6, 2012 by

Posted on February 4, 2012 by

There’s something to be said for having a quiet New Year’s Eve at home, without any distractions. In fact, it turned out to be quite tasty and really cheap.  I think I pulled everything together for about $10 on a … Continue reading →

Roasted Garlic Broccoli and Cauliflower

Posted on November 29, 2011 by

I love vegetables.  Vegetarian (rarely vegan — I like eggs and other non-vegan-friendly ingredients too much) and veggie-focused dishes feature heavily in my diet, so I’m always on the lookout for a good veggie side or main dish.  I mean, … Continue reading →

No Pies Here: Pumpkin Angel Food Cake

Posted on November 28, 2011 by
