The trans fat police crack down in Baltimore – Food Rant

It’s getting that we can’t eat unhealthy in major cities across these United States. In a growing trend, Baltimore has limited the amount of trans fats to less than 0.5 grams per serving. This means the local diner (with the waitresses who call everyone “Hon”) will serve lard-less cherry pies and french fries in peanut oil rather than […]

Zucchini bites, edamame succotash and green beans with poppy seed sauce – Recipe Roundup

Each week, fabulous recipes grace Debbie’s in-box and pop up on her computer screen, and she’s sharing her favorites with you. I’m just not sure what theme I ended up with this week, though perhaps “yummy recipes” is good enough. They are mostly side dishes — rice and veggies — with the exception of a […]

Thank you, makers of weird food!

Sometimes having food allergies and sensitivities can be a chore, especially when there just isn’t time to make a treat like homemade chocolate coconut milk ice cream or brownies with vegetables in them.

Hold the Meat – The incredible, edible egg

Being a lacto-ovo vegetarian is the bomb. Why? I’ve got two words for you: “cheese” and “eggs.” A life without one or both is simply not a life worth living. My baby seems to agree with me, as scrambled eggs have recently become his favorite food that isn’t blueberries (kid has a blueberry obsession right […]

Prosciutto and Sage – Perfect Pairs

One word for you folks: Saltimbocca. Sage is one of my favorite herbs, and prosciutto is one of the greatest foods on Earth (I often like to joke, well half-joke, that my favorite three words are: wrapped. in. prosciutto.). It should be no surprise, then, that I am a huge fan of Saltimbocca. There is […]
