I just recently started reading Vegetarian Times. And it is inspiring me to eat more “meatless” meals. I recently made a tomato mozzarella polenta bake. My poor husband is going along with this, though not quite happily. While he said he did enjoy this meal – he was of course going to have to eat…
Brown Rice Risotto
Yep – I’m really on a meatless kick this week. Brown rice risotto with dairy free “parmesan” for dinner. Poor husband – but he really liked this one too, maybe I have a chance of getting the professional chef to eat a bit healthier after all! Plus kind of fun to be making this with…

Since we’ve closed our business and are no longer catering crazy summer wedding seasons I thought I’d share with you a post I pulled off the old site of the day I officially hit culinary rock bottom and the kid had “crunchy banana” for dinner. I wrote this down about six years ago when we…
