Cooking to Combat Cancer – Turkey Meatloaf

March 18, 2007

When I was diagnosed, I learned that eating healthy, both for myself and in preparation for my radioactive iodine treatment(s), went beyond vegetables. For me, I had to follow a low-iodine diet several times a year, more than the one-time deal two months after my initial surgery. There is a great cookbook online, free from […]

Egg in a Hole

March 17, 2007

Ha mangiato due uova sode per colazione! She ate two eggs for breakfast! Now that I am done with school, I have decided it is time to take my house back. My friends like to tease me about how “in order” everything, but they don’t check out the upstairs. My office is a nightmare, my […]

Is there a doctor in the house?

March 16, 2007

….oh wait – I am one! Well folks, after 4 years of reading dry, banging-your-head-against-the-wall research studies, a zillion written drafts trashed by red ink, a head full of gray hair, and a ton of (inhaled-not chewed) Girl Scout Cookies later, I successfully defended my dissertation last night. I now have a Doctorate in Education […]

Stessed Out Cheesecake

March 15, 2007

Stress can be an evil, evil weight gaining terror….(I feel) I have been really been aware and good about watching my diet/eating habits since I moved…the last 8 months or so. I have been getting better at the exercise thing (which I loathe). I dropped some inches…and was pretty excited about my body’s b-line toward […]

Irish Brown Bread

March 14, 2007

I wasn’t going to participate in this St. Patrick’s event, simply because I am not Irish (even with red hair). But, I changed my mind for several reasons:First, I grew up in Boston and I witnessed, up close, the customs that come with the pride of culture and keeping traditions alive. Second, I simply love […]

I know everyone is going to show out and present delicious dishes – so I can’t wait to see the final round up! My contribution is (another) dumpling dish. Since I am on a wonton kick, I […]

Cabbage Dumplings w/ Soman Noodles

March 12, 2007

I love potstickers, dumplings…any lil’ food that looks like a bundle, really. There are tons you can do with dumplings…from serving them with a simple dipping sauce – as a finger food, to tossing them with pasta or vegetables. You can bake or steam them, and even make them sweet or savory. Tonight, I decided […]

Mediterranean Savory Cake – Monthly Mingle #8

March 11, 2007

I wanted to participate in this month’s Monthly Mingle, (hosted by Meeta) mainly because I am intrigued by the idea of savory cakes. So, as I thumbed through various cookbooks, none of the recipes has the “wow” factor for me. I didn’t want to make something “regular” like a zucchini concoction. (Not that there is […]

Good Friends, Good Food, Good Times

March 11, 2007

No recipe this post – just some reflective thoughts – I mentioned in a previous post how I thought I was/am in a good place. And, while it may seem weird to some, I find I have to step back and remember that is it me who is involved in the good times…and it is […]

Tabbouleh

March 10, 2007

This is my contribution to Weekend Herb Blogging this week, hosted by Anna – the newly married foodie behind Morsels and Musings. Congratulations Anna! Pausa Pranzo/Lunch Break! Lunch…. probably the most difficult meal for me. In fact, thinking about lunch for the week is quite stressful. Therefore, I try to prepare ahead. However, I find, […]
