As you can tell, I haven’t posted here in ages. That is because my focus changed. Yes, I still eat and cook healthy, but I spend my time on a different blog these days. You’re welcome to come visit at Genesis 12:1. I may come back to this blog someday, but for now it’s retired.

A Sentimental Old Fool
Posted in cooking on August 26, 2008 | 4 Comments »
Well, I got what I wished for – a one-way trip to Colorado. Little did I realize how hard it would be. As I sit here in a quiet house with the kids in bed, I look around and realize that this is the last night I will spend here. Shari and I built this [...]

Dad’s Stuff and Junk
Posted in breakfasts, cooking on February 29, 2008 | 3 Comments »
Every few weeks I make what we call Dad’s Stuff and Junk for Saturday breakfast. It varies from week to week depending on what I have on hand, but usually goes something like this. Dice potatoes into half-inch cubes. Saute rosemary and garlic in butter, lard, or olive oil or a combination of those for [...]
Salmon Pasta

I was faced with a meal I hadn’t planned for. I almost caved and just took the kids out to a restaurant, but we had just been out the previous day. I decided to go home and see what I could invent from what I had on hand. Here it is. Micah liked it and [...]

We just got back from vacation and didn’t have much in the house to eat. I made do with what I had and here is the result. I found it quite tasty. It has a unique combination of flavors that I liked but Shari did not. She didn’t seem to like the sweetness that the [...]
White Bean Chicken (or Turkey) Chili
Posted in cooking, recipes on November 25, 2007 | 3 Comments »
The Thanksgiving leftovers were devoured by my visiting family. I had not planned meals for most of this week depending on the fact that we generally have enough leftovers to last us for a week. What to do? I remembered that Shari likes a white bean chicken chili she’s had at Ruby Tuesday’s and a [...]
Moderation
Posted in cooking on November 13, 2007 | 3 Comments »
Some people tell me I’m too extreme and should use moderation. Tell a man whose house is on fire to give a moderate alarm; tell him to moderately rescue his wife from the hands of the ravisher; tell the mother to gradually extricate her babe from the fire into which it has fallen; but urge [...]
Chicken and Rice

A Day of Local Food

Yesterday Shari was gone to a scrap-booking marathon, so I decided to take the kids out and get some apples and go for a drive in my new convertible (actually it’s not new, it’s a 1999 VW Cabrio). Forgive the photo quality. The photos were taken with my phone camera. We headed out for Kapnick [...]
Penne with Zucchini and Feta

It’s a quick and delicious summer-time dish. 1½ cups brown rice penne pasta 2 medium zucchini thinly sliced 4-8oz feta cheese crumbled ½ cup pasta cooking water 2 tablespoons olive oil 1 tablespoon fresh basil salt pepper Cook [...]
Garlic Mashed Potatoes

Everybody’s had garlic mashed potatoes. There can’t be that many ways to make garlic mashed potatoes can there? Well, I don’t know, but here’s how I do it. 8 medium new red-skin potatoes 4-6 large cloves garlic, thinly sliced 1 sprig rosemary 3 tablespoons butter (olive oil will also work) a couple dollops of sour [...]

Chicken and Dumplings
Posted in cooking, recipes on August 4, 2007 | 3 Comments »
I got a hankering for chicken and dumplings and had never made them before. I considered looking up recipes, but figured it would be more fun to just make things up as I went along. So here are my results. First I made a roux. I had seen several shows on the food network explaining [...]
