These Huevos Rancheros Breakfast Tacos are not only fun to eat, but they’re popping with texture and flavor. I love Huevos Rancheros as a hearty brunch. The fresh salsa, avocado and cilantro toppings add lots of color and texture. It’s a filling meal, but healthier than the typical breakfast platter of eggs, bacon and potatoes. Although there [...]

Have you ever tried Muesli? It’s a breakfast cereal mix made with uncooked rolled oats, fruit and nuts, that was actually developed around 1900 by a Swiss physician (Dr. Maximilian Bircher-Benner) for patients in his hospital, where a diet rich in fresh fruit and vegetables was an essential part of therapy. Traditionally, it is enjoyed [...]

Last week, I had a discussion with Elizabeth Ward on healthy eating tips and recipe ideas that anyone can use. Eating a protein packed breakfast came up as one of the healthy eating tips.

A few weeks ago, I made these Mini Frittatas with Ham and Cheese for a church function and ended up making extra for weekday breakfast-on-the-go. I’ve never made a frittata before although it’s been on my list to try forever. Frittatas are basically an open-faced omelet that is baked in the oven. The base is [...]

Last week, I found myself with more ripe bananas than you could ever imagine. We typically go through tons of bananas during the week, but for some reason, I must have bought an extra bunch here or there. Well, I kept staring at them until they started turning so ripe that I either had to [...]

I’m always interested in learning about different cultures’ cuisines, so when I spotted Naomi Duguid’s latest cookbook, Burma Rivers of Flavor, in our local library last week, I picked it up, eager to learn about the food from this Southeast Asian country that is now called Myanmar.

Quinoa has become so popular the last few years that when I bring it to parties , a lot of people actually recognize it. I started using quinoa when my son went on a gluten-free diet. What I love about quinoa is that it’s so versatile – it can used in pilafs, hot porridge, soups, [...]

A few weeks back, a friend of mine asked if I’d ever tried savory oatmeal before, and you know what? I’ve never made it. Although I’ve seen a few variations around the web, somehow I just couldn’t get my arms around eating oatmeal with savory and salty notes. I think it’s similar to the way [...]

These past seven days, like many families affected by Hurricane Sandy, we have been without power. I just learned that our home is in an area that sustained more damage than other parts of our town, and because it involves coordination between bordering towns, that power restoration will be more complicated. With a Nor’easter on [...]
