Kim from Affairs of Living (my challenge co-host) and I received almost 40 recipe submissions from readers all over the globe, a wide variety of sweet and savory dishes that tempted our tastebuds and got […]
Roasted Squash and Apple Bisque
Remember how, last week, I mentioned that I seem to be adopting some of the HH’s less-than-enviable habits? Well, this past week, it got even worse: our anniversary came and went*, and neither one of us remembered!

Outrageously Decadent Chocolate-Hazelnut Ice Cream (No Ice Cream Maker Required!)
* Or, How I Waited Until the Very Last Possible Moment to Make Ice Cream There are some people (I won’t mention any names) who simply like to leave things to the last minute. Like, for instance, when they (who shall not be named) promise to mow the lawn over the weekend, and then suddenly […]

Chocolatey Fudge (Anti-Candida Friendly)
[Looks pretty decadent, doesn’t it? Tastes that way, too.] Okay, so who WAS that woman who wrote my last post?!

Red Lentil Pate
[Simple to make, delicious to eat: red lentil pâté] The first time I purchased an ebook from Christy Morgan (aka The Blissful Chef), all I really knew about her was (a) she lived in LA; and (b) she cooked according to macrobiotic principles. Well, since I’d studied the macrobiotic diet in nutrition school, I knew it […]
