Black bean and corn salad

I’m having another one of those weeks. You know, the ones where you don’t actually plan anything for dinner, but instead decide around 5:00 that you’ll whip up something amazing while your kid plays the Wubbzy game on PBS Kids‘ website. Amazing quickly becomes palatable, and you thank your lucky stars that you had the […]

Sardine Salad – easy and satisfying

I LOVE sardines!  In fact, I’m always trying to find new ways of eating and cooking with them.   I had a hankering for these small oily fish just the other day, but I also wanted something fresh and cool to balance it out.  So, I came up with a very satisfying Sardine Salad. I’m often […]

Vindaloo squash soup – Table for Two

Kymberly Pye, today’s Guest-clacker, lives in Los Angeles with her husband and four-legged children. When she’s not in the kitchen, she’s knitting or crocheting or hiking in the desert.

Shaved fennel salad – Recipe test drive

Celery is green so you can celebrate that too

March is National Celery Month (which makes sense, since St. Patrick’s Day is in March and celery is a shade of green), and even though I love celery, doesn’t that sound like the most boring food holiday month ever? I mean, it’s celery. I have to admit that celery isn’t one of those ingredients I […]

Lazy, lazy green salad – Feed me!

Debbie says that her gourmet mesclun salad is the world’s easiest. And don’t get me wrong, it looks quite easy. But my salad greens are even easier. I’d be shocked if it took five minutes to put them together, ten if you’re washing and tearing up the greens yourself. But let me back up a […]
