After the disappointment of the pasta recipe I made last weekend, we have stuck to tried and true recipes this week. I made two recipes that I written about before, but I still took a few pictures. I really think I could eat refried bean-stuffed poblanos every week. It’s such…

What’s the oldest things you’re wearing today? When I read this question, I had to laugh, since it seemed that whoever wrote the question was trying to mock me. I have been teased about being on a shopping spree the past few months. My friends aren’t exactly wrong. After my…

I’m amazed that my copy of Cooking Light Annual Recipes 2002 isn’t falling apart. So many pages are stained or have notations scribbled on them. A few pages are torn, and more pages show evidence of having been wet than not. It has seen a lot of use. One of…
