Because I left my blackstrap molasses in Michigan (and the store I was shopping didn’t have it), I was forced to revamp my recipe. This is actually quite tasty. It pretty much tastes like limeade. 3T raw unfiltered honey juice from 2 limes 1/2t celtic sea salt 2 liters of water (or dilute the above [...]

I’ve tried a few different concoctions for my marathon training, but I tried this one on Saturday for my 15 mile run and felt great and had plenty of energy the whole time. I’ll have to try it again to make sure it wasn’t just a good day for me, but here it is: 2 [...]
Garden Pizza
Posted in baking, recipes, tagged u on July 20, 2008 | 1 Comment »
I’ve been trying to perfect a healthy pizza for quite some time now. This is by no means perfect, but it is by far the best pizza I have ever made. I actually liked this pizza better than the local Onsted pizza place’s pizza (Hattie’s). Several of the ingredients came from my garden. Insert your [...]

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 [...]

Chicken and Dumplings

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 [...]
