Here it is again, the start of another month. That means it is also the end of another SOS Kitchen Challenge (and I’m not foolin’!). 😉 In March, Kim and I featured none other than the delicious and nutritious adzuki bean.

Kitchen Classics: Chickpea, Tomato and Potato Stew for Winter’s Reprise
What?? It’s winter? Again?? Okay, Mother Nature, this is really getting old. I mean, we’ve been tortured by suffering with enduring tolerating winter since October 21, 2010 (should I feel guilty that that’s my birthday?). Time for some warmer temps, dry streets, green buds poking their happy noses out of the ground. Time for some […]
SOS Stevia: The Roundup
Thanks to everyone who submitted a stevia-based recipe for February’s SOS Kitchen Challenge! As always, we received a stellar collection of recipes. Here’s the “Sweet”: Kim and I were blown away by the creativity in the “sweet” section of the event this past month. While I have added every single recipe to my “to try” […]
Classic Pasta Arrabiata
[Warning: Extra, extra, extra-long post. Feel free to portion it out in smaller doses. . . or simply take your time and revel in the sunshine.] [Nope, no alligators in this Florida body of water. (And no, that’s not the HH at the pool!)] Um, so, yes, I have been rather MIA the past week […]

Anti-Candida Friendly Tempeh "Bourguignon"*
*Well, it’s not really “bourguignon.” But it is ACD friendly, sugar free, gluten free, and vegan. And it tastes delicious. What more could you ask for? I will never forget the first lecture I attended as a callow undergraduate at the University of Windsor: it was Modern American Drama, with a professor named Dr. John Ditksy. […]
SOS Coconut Oil: Roundup and a Winner!
Like the new logo? Kim designed it and I just love it! We thought it was time for an update, something a little more playful and fun to fit the spirit of the challenge. January’s Sweet or Savory Kitchen Challenge was an exciting one, featuring none other than coconut oil. Health promoting and versatile, coconut oil […]
Smoky Zucchini Dip
[Kim’s Buckwheat Crackerbread with my own Sweet Potato Spread] When I found out that my friend Kim was creating a recipe calendar, I squealed with joy. You may know Kim as my partner in crime sunworship hoarding colorful earrings the SOS Kitchen Challenge, as we alternate choosing ingredients and writing the kickoff post each […]
Tofu Mole: Authentically Delicious
Before I even think about sharing this recipe (see, I’m learning: some things are more important than food!), I want to send out a heartfelt “thank you” to everyone who left comments on my previous post and even to those who read it and chose not to comment. This is why I love the food […]
Christmas, 2010 Recap: Don’t Mess with Tradition (and African Sweet Potato Stew)
