Raw Apple Sauce
Posted on July 29, 2008
I love apple sauce in any weather. The thought of turning on the oven to make some right now? Or lighting up the stove? In this heat? Not a good one. What to do? Make raw apple sauce. It’s tart, tangy, refreshing and delicious. On top of that, “uncooking” cuts back on energy consumption. It

Green Goddess Dressing
Posted on July 25, 2008
I confess. I ate the photo shoot. I made a huge salad this afternoon, drizzled it with Green Goddess Dressing and proceeded to devour it. The food prepared for photographing was instead inhaled. As in, scarfed immediately. Now normally, I’m a fairly disciplined person, so this was a bit odd. Maybe I exercised a little

Tuscan White Bean Salad
Posted on July 22, 2008
It has been so hot here –Sunday was a scorching 104 degrees. Because of the toasty weather, I’ve been looking for quick, cool ways to get hits of protein. Really, all I want to eat is fruit and lemon slushes these days. However, this white bean concoction has been a winner for the family during

Mustard Lime Chicken

Macadamia Caramel Clusters

We have a big all star game tomorrow, though unfortunately I will be missing it. One of my parents was hospitalized this week so I am flying back to California for a weekend visit. As I tucked my older son into bed tonight he said, “I want extra snuggles since I won’t see you until

Coleslaw
Posted on July 8, 2008
We had a quiet July 4th celebration with Martha, her daughter Erin and a friend of Erin’s named Sarah Rose. These two girls go to the same school as my boys so they all had a great time bouncing on the trampoline in our backyard while Martha and I made a couple of salads and

Celebrating Independence
Posted on July 1, 2008
Yesterday my son and I made the delicious strawberry sorbet pictured above. As July 4th approaches, our has been getting a real workout. It’s hotter now so we’re always looking for good frozen treats to cool us off. When I asked my older son what he thought about the sorbet, he simply said, “yum.” That
