We’ll pretend that it isn’t Sunday. K? We are deep in the throes of some “Spring” cleaning. The wool, toasty fabrics and sweaters are stowed till October and we are trying not to freak out about how hot this summer is going to be. Drought and 90º weather in April means we are headed for […]
MoreI ate a salad for dinner tonight with mixed greens from our @JBGorganic CSA box. I’m not sure what came over me, but all of a sudden I was really struck by how fortunate we are to know exactly where our salads were this morning. Like, how amazing is that?! I relished every bite and […]
MoreWe’ll be hunkering down at the house this weekend. The hope is to shake off some of this week’s hard by recharging our bodies with good food, good music and good hugs. We’ll be cooking together, whipping up some lemonade recipes (for my daughter’s lemonade stand in a couple of weeks) and just hangin’. And […]
MoreLast week, I headed out of the house to run errands and came back with this 6-quart puppy: It’s a Fagor Elite 6-qt pressure cooker. I can’t believe its taken me all this time to dive in! Goodness! I can now have black beans within 45 minutes of deciding that I want them. There is […]

MoreI’ll be joining other food bloggers and bakers at the South Austin location of the Austin Bake Sale for Japan tomorrow, April 2. Come on out! My humble (but yummy) mini banana-oat muffins will be nicely packaged into bundles of 6 for you to grab and go in addition to the oodles of other stuff […]
MoreIt has cooled down significantly over the past couple of days and I think the trend will continue for the greater part of next week. Cooler weather at this time of year [in South Central Texas] is rare so I’ve been gazing out the window in the morning and daydreaming about San Francisco. Sigh. Once […]
MoreFeliz Año Nuevo! Just a quick post to show one of our most-favorite breakfasts in the whole wide world – steam-fried eggs with black beans and homemade salsa. If you’ve already got beans and salsa in the fridge, it’s a super-quick whip-up that even I can manage before my first cup of coffee. My Steam-Fried […]
