Sapodilla Smoothie

April 2, 2012 in Recipes, Snacks

Sapodilla Fruit from Robert is Here

When I was at the Robert is Here fruitstand, I saw a new-to-me fruit called Sapodilla. Mistaking them for potatoes, I would have walked past had I not read the sign.  “Tastes like a pear with brown sugar!” What??? Yes, please! Brent and I ate most of them plain for dessert. Sapodillas are soft and creamy. They […]

Roasted Eggplant Spread

September 7, 2010 in Health and Food, Recipes, Side Dish, Vegetables

I like versatility.  Reversible jackets.  Kettlebells as doorstops or for workouts.  Minivans for  children or 4×8 sheets of plywood.  It’s one of the reasons I love my Perfect Pesto.  I can use it to spread on bread, make the most killer egg sandwiches ever, toss with pasta, in place of pizza sauce, toss with veggies, […]

April 21, 2010 in Health and Food, Main Dish, Recipes, Uncategorized, Vegetables

I love Mexican food.  LOVE Mexican food.  Out of all the cheesy spicy goodness to choose from, one of my favorite dishes is Chile Relleno.  A friend gave me a recipe for a chile relleno casserole that uses 2 pounds, TWO POUNDS, of cheese as well as numerous whole eggs, and condensed milk. On occasion, […]

Perfect Pesto

March 9, 2010 in Recipes, Side Dish

Growing up in Indianapolis, there was this one particular pizza place I loved to visit and gorge myself on for their pesto.  It is so good.  Fifteen years later, I still visit every time I go back but it has sort of lost it’s luster for me.  The reason, a waitress with a big mouth. […]

Mozzarella Eggplant

February 23, 2010 in Main Dish, Recipes, Side Dish, Vegetables

In keeping with our decision to eat vegetarian a night or two a week, I’ve been creating new or revamping old recipes.  Last night, we converted my Mozzarella Chicken to Mozzarella Eggplant.   I can’t believe I’m saying this but I think I actually like the eggplant better.  It was sooooo good.  I nearly cried […]

My Favorite Dressing

October 15, 2008 in Recipes, Side Dish

A few years ago my friend made something like this. Since then, I’ve been playing around trying get the ingredients in just the right proportions to fit my taste and it has become, by far, my favorite dressing. So much that I brought it in a cooler with me on vacation. It is a tasty […]

A “Good Idea” Pudding(s)

October 6, 2008 in Health and Food, Recipes, Snacks

This is not a recipe I made up. It’s more of an “idea” that I’ve heard buff fitness people make. The few times I’ve been eating my protein pudding outside of my home people have asked me what I’m eating. When I tell them they almost always say, “Oh that’s a good idea.” Which is […]
