One of my kids loves Chipotle Grill’s Burritos. This is a gigantic size tortilla filled with rice, beans, meat, salsa, cheese, and sour cream. Although the ingredients in and of themselves don’t sound too unhealthy, one of these burritos with all the fixings (sour cream, cheese, guacamole) tops 1000 calories! However, deconstructed and served as [...]

My oldest son returned home from his first year of college last weekend, and I’ve been a little off kilter this entire week. It feels like I’m a day or two behind…perhaps it was the five loads of laundry that he deposited on the floor of our laundry room when he arrived home, or the [...]

I’ve been on a spicy kick lately. Just last week, I made Chicken Tacos with Garlic and Chile Sauce, served with fresh jalapenos. Before serving the tacos to my kids, I did remove most of the seeds from the fresh jalapenos. However, this week, I got a little over zealous when I made an authentic Szechwan [...]

This past Monday, I wrote about my passion for cooking for people with cancer and how I had gotten discouraged by someone’s remarks when I told them I wanted to teach cooking lessons for cancer patients and caregivers.

Spring sports are in full swing in our household and things have gotten pretty crazy lately. Getting dinner on the table has been especially challenging as the sports activities end later and the kids want to eat as soon as they walk in the door.

Today, I am sharing a recipe that embodies the principles of the Japanese Washoku and Kansha cooking approaches. I’ve always admired how beautifully presented Japanese food is when I eat out. All the foods are precisely arranged on the plate and each dish is interesting and unique. Little did I know that there was actually [...]
