by Ricki Heller 31 Comments

[Sorry this is a long post. . . feel free to chop it up into manageable segments, like a honkin’ big Florida grapefruit.] Does this look like a deadly weapon? Can it really be a week since the HH and I took off for parts unknown in Florida? I guess time really does fly when you’re […]

Well-Balanced Red and Green for the Holidays: Chiles en Nogada

by Ricki Heller 28 Comments

One of the most common traits exhibited by Libras is, supposedly, “indecisiveness.”  As a Libra myself, I don’t really mind that description.  Well, maybe a little.  But not really–it’s all in good humor, right?  Then again, who likes to be called “indecisive”?  Am I offended?! Yes. No. Definitely. . . . maybe. Represented by the scales, Libras […]

by Ricki Heller 28 Comments

Well, it’s Canadian Thanksgiving on Monday, which can only mean one thing:  Star Trek marathon on Space Channel!  Or maybe: Ellen Page gets a surprise celebration from buddy Justin Long?

*Or, Merry Christmas, Charlie Brown. Now Eat Some Delicious Spread. [There’s just nothing like a homemade gift for the holidays.  This year, with the purse strings a little tighter than usual, I’m determined to make at least a few in my kitchen–and thought I’d share my ideas in case you’d like to partake, too.  ] I know that […]

Extreme Meme, an Award and an Injury: Some Non-Food Tidbits

by Ricki Heller 19 Comments

Recently, I was tagged by Kelly at The Pink Apron and River of Wing It Vegan to share 7 random facts about myself, and Giz at Equal Opportunity Kitchen to do a blog-related meme. I do enjoy memes (and love reading about others through their memes), but I must admit that I am finding it more and […]

Holiday Bundt Apple Cake

by Ricki Heller 34 Comments
