What is summer without Popsicles? And what is more fun than making your own? I remember coming up with all sorts of weird Popsicle concoctions as a kid (word to the wise, sprite does not freeze well!). Not only is it a fun activity, it allows you to make choose exactly what goes into your [...]  I’ve been wanting to make tamales for a very long time. But, I’ve always heard it’s a long process and that it’s helpful to do it with someone who has made them before. I gave it a try anyway–and I’m so glad I did! In case you are feeling hesitant about making tamales, I thought [...] When I got this month’s Cooking Light magazine I let out an audible gasp. I knew this dish would quickly be added to my veggie week menu. I wasn’t disappointed! It is like a much lighter version of fettuccine alfredo. It’s great because it’s super fast, easy, and light. I think that the [...] Tonight I tried cooking with tempeh for the first time. Thankfully, my good friend Sarah was able to give me a few tips to make everything go smoothly! She advised me to boil the tempeh for a few minutes before marinating and cooking. It apparently takes the edge off of the strong tempeh flavor. After [...] Let me just preface this post by saying I am not (nor am likely to become) a vegetarian. I totally respect vegetarians, but it just isn’t for me. I love meat. I think people can consume it responsibly without adversely affecting the environment (buy from local farms, etc). And I love the complete nutrition that [...] Parker eats everything. EVERYTHING. So I’ve been hesitant to try out crafts that would generally be inhaled by our young man. I had heard you could make edible (or eatable as the Johnny Depp version of Willy Wonka would say) playdough, so I thought I’d give it a try. I felt extra motivated [...] a.k.a. The Best Potato Soup You’ll Ever Eat You may have seen on the news that we are expecting a huge blizzard here in Chicago. This is our first one since living here, and I’m a little giddy. I can’t wait to see what all the hype is about. I couldn’t resist celebrating by making [...] I’m a meal planner. I wasn’t always one, but now I can’t imagine living without my meal plans. It makes weeknights so much less stressful when I know all my ingredients will be waiting for me in the kitchen. It means I go shopping once a week instead of running to and fro trying to [...] Pumpkin Bread is a tradition in the Meadows Family. We had it every year growing up. I can remember watching my mom pour the batter into the little loaf tray and just waiting for that first warm slice to come out of the oven. I don’t really know where the recipe came from, but my [...] I love Cooking Light! I know I’ve mentioned recipes from there before, but I gotta say it again–they are just great. I’m always inspired to try using new ingredients or to learn new ways of preparing food. For instance, until this week I had never cooked with Pomegranates. I’ve been missing out! This sauce was [...] |
