Apple Cider Dressing and the John Madden playbook

Oh, apple cider, how do I love thee? Seriously, I even love it when it ISN’T distilled! That’s how much I love apple cider.  I’m always looking for ways to throw it into recipes.  So as I was making a salad the other day, I thought it would be a great topper for a [...]

Bulgur Salad with Feta and Shrimp and a math problem

I know what you were thinking as you read that last recipe…TWO STICKS of BUTTER!?  C’mon, you don’t think I eat like that all the time, do ya?  Oh, you do.  Well, let me prove you wrong.  This is my entry in the Beat the Heat roundup at A Southern Grace.  Anyhoo, bulgur (cracked wheat) can be cooked sans heat so it’s perfect for dog days like these.  Here’s how.

Stuff yourself with Grilled Stuffed Portabello Mushrooms

Chopped Ugly Salad is pretty on the inside

So I’m walking through the store and these tomatoes catch my eye. Ugly Ripe Tomatoes are touted as having “just-picked” flavour out of season. Nothing compares to the taste of a just-picked tomato so I had to try it. I shelled out $3.40 for two tomatoes (!) to make a salad. [...]

Caramelized Garlic Dressing out of thin air

Some days you open the fridge and realize the last time you saw a grocery store checkout was when<strong> Britney Spears</strong> <strong>had her own hair. </strong>On days like these, when there's nothing in the house but a can of tuna, ketchup and an unrecognizable container of green (let's toss that, shall we?), dinner on the table can be a daunting experience.
