Falafel In Pita & Tomato Cucumber Salad
| 
I was feeling quite adventuresome and tried a new recipe last night – new for me anyway. Since No Thank You Boy is off clobbering a zillion balls at tennis camp, I decided to make a meal that he would never in a million years ingest or enjoy: falafel, my friends. An irresistible Israeli concoction of smashed chickpeas, onions and cilantro – served in warm pita, with a creamy yogurt sauce. NTYB repellant for sure. Read the rest of this entry »

Fine and dandy of course, I for one don’t need sunshine blown up my short shorts tennis skirt…or recognition, or accolades. It’s been a fun year of learning the a little about the grocery business and writing about favorite recipes. I’ve certainly enjoyed making, shooting, and eating everything that’s ended up here in the blog! Read the rest of this entry »

Before I begin today, I would just like to preface this post with a brief apology. While I consider myself to be somewhat of a foodie, and I try my best to maintain a modicum of culinary glamour (cough) in my daily life, today’s recipe is not in any way, shape or form haute cuisine, or dinner party fare. Just so we’re clear.
And I’m sorry. Because by now I know you surely must count on me for such gastronomic (ahem) elegance … don’t you?! Read the rest of this entry »

As usual, I tore the issue apart within the first three hours of its arrival, and dog-eared the pages that contained the recipes I wanted to try…and there are many ‘must try’ dishes in the current issue.
