This week’s theme for #SundaySupper is Mother’s Day, hosted by Heather Lynn at the wonderful Hezzi-D’s Books and Cooks blog. My thoughts immediately flew to pancakes. But not for breakfast. Pancakes for me means breakfast for dinner. Breakfast for dinner conjures up quiet suppers, all [...]

Bizcochitos – A Traditional Cinco de Mayo Cookie
Does your state have an official state cookie? As someone whose first word was cookie, according to my mom, I think my state should have one. The bizcochito, also spelled biscochito, is New Mexico’s official state cookie and is a traditional favorite there for [...]
Pin ItPickled Onions in Cardamom-Orange Tea
The earthy onion isn’t known for her subtlety. Unwrap her papery robe, and slice her open, if you doubt this. She’s a woman of many moods, though. Invite her to join some warm oil in a sauté pan, and watch her melt into the moist [...]
Pin It#SundaySupper: Arepas Rellenas (Stuffed Arepas)
Nothing ever stays put. That’s not necessarily bad. It’s just true. Jobs change, kids grow up, we move or redecorate. We pack on unwanted weight, we shed some of it (never quite as much as we gain, and what’s up with that?), and take up [...]
Pin ItHot Cross Buns
Easter dinner is heaped in traditions all over the world, both because of the religious meaning of Easter, and the fact that it roughly coincides with the beginning of spring. Easter dinners of my childhood featured glistening hams as the table centerpiece, glazed with a [...]
Pin ItVegetable / Chicken and Rice Peasant Soup
When I get knocked around a little by life, I head to the kitchen to make soup or to bake. I’m convinced that soup, cookies, and cake are the original comfort foods, not just as hugs from my own childhood, but from all the generations [...]
Pin It#SundaySupper: Smoky Kale, Tomato and White Bean Soup
Last night we went to a party to celebrate a milestone birthday of a good friend. He was turning 60 and his wife threw a party at a local restaurant. Forty of us showed up for the feast, fun, and laughter; and something more. While [...]
Pin ItThyme For Honey Cornbread
It’s Super Bowl Sunday, and my home team is playing! I won’t pretend to be a football fan, but I sure have enjoyed watching all the playoff games, and will be front row center in front of the TV later this afternoon to cheer them [...]
Pin ItClassic Green Bean Casserole Redux: #SundaySupper
Our Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners weren’t complete without the green bean casserole that was all the rage in the ’70′s. You might remember it: green beans swamped with cream of mushroom soup and topped with French fried onion rings. I think it graced every table [...]
Pin ItPeanut Butter-Oatmeal Cookies With Coconut Oil
My husband thinks we have way. too. many. leftovers in the refrigerator. What he sees as a scrap that should be tossed, I see as a paint to play with on my artist’s palette. I’ll admit our refrigerator gets pretty crowded with containers of things [...]
Pin ItWelcome!
I'm Susan, thank you for visiting my food blog! I enrolled in culinary school after many years in business as a gift to myself to follow my heart and create a life around food. I've now fallen in love with writing and photography as well, and am thoroughly enjoying this new life I'm still creating.
Inspired by the book "In Defense of Food", I began infusing more fruits, vegetables, and whole grains into my everyday diet. Meat and fish will never be completely gone from my diet, but they're no longer the main event on my plate. On the other hand, my husband is a determined carnivore, creating a challenge for me to create dishes that will entice him. Whether you're vegetarian, or just wanting to eat less meat, I hope you'll find inspiration here to try something new to add to your own table.
