Coconut Red Lentil Soup

Here it is!  The one I've been talking about.  The one you have been waiting oh so patiently for.  So no delays.  Right to the recipe!

Apple Sharlotka

I am always game for making a cake.  I love cake.  Any kind.  Well actually that isn't true.  I do like chocolate cake the best.  But I think that this will come in a close second from now on.

Meyer Lemon

Looks like my Meyer Lemon is ready to be picked!  I wonder what deliciousness it will turn into? 

Spicy Mango Tofu with Coconut Rice

This is one of those dinners that I make pretty often.  One because I always have the ingredients lurking in my fridge and two because it reheats really well for lunch at work.  It is prefect with just about any green vegetable, I used broccoli this time, I had planned to use bok choy but it froze in the fridge.  A word to the wise don't leave the bok choy in the "deli drawer" of your fridge.  It will freeze and you will become very annoyed. 

Butternut Squash and Pear Soup

 

Make this!  Make this right now!  No seriously, do it!  And make sure you have some delicious bread around, ahem I posted a fab recipe recently.  Toast it.  And butter it.  AND DUNK IT!  And then you will be full and warm and you won't even notice that the temperature is dropping... again. 

Turkey and Three Bean Chili and Cornbread

Need something to stick to your ribs now that it is snowy and cold?  I don't mind the snow, I mean it is January we should have some, but the sub zero temps can go.  I hadn't made chili in a long time, since I moved, and I was feeling the need to have something hot and spicy and full of beans.  Just like me!  Ha!  Sorry.  I will do my best to focus.  Obviously when you have chili you should have cornbread to go with it.  And this is my favorite quick go to cornbread recipe.  You lucky ducks, you get a two-fer with this post!

Sweet 16!

I am pretty sure it is a law that you must have cupcakes for your 16th birthday.  And if it isn't I am declaring it right now!  My cousin Ali turned sixteen on Monday and we had a little dinner to celebrate.  I got to make the dessert!  Ali loves cappuccino and mocha flavored things.  She has good taste.  We'd probably get rid of her if she didn't.  Just kidding!  Just kidding!  We like her.  We'll keep her.  She's fun!  Anyway back to those cupcakes...
