Warm & Creamy Mango Rice Pudding

Maybe it’s because it’s winter, but we’ve had a real yen for warm, creamy foods, lately. That’s extended to dessert, too. Our latest fixation? Rice pudding. These chilly days and evenings just call out for it, you know? It’s like a Snuggie in a bowl. Just to keep it interesting, I’ve been playing with the [...]

@wokstar’s stirring it up!

Okay, this is pretty funny. I must have posted this photo here, instead of my Twitter feed, but that’s okay. I’ll just tell you about it. This is Eleanor Hoh. Eleanor is known on blog and Twitter and around town as the WokStar. For very good reason, I might add. She’s one of the Miami [...]

Recipe Monday: Black Bean Chili Sloppy Joes & HBin5

I came home late from work the other night, and even though the temptation was great to order in pizza or take out Chinese, I resisted. I had just baked these light and fluffy burger rolls with the Soft Whole Wheat Bread dough recipe from Healthy Bread in 5 Minutes a Day, and was really [...]

Can Jam 1: Citrus

For me, the main reason to live in South Florida is the ability go out in the winter and early spring to the local U-Pick fields to do our produce shopping. The downside to that is, it never fails that our eyes are bigger than our plans and we wind up picking too much. After [...]

Recipe Monday: 5 Bean & Barley Soup & HBin5 Challenge

Yes, I know it’s Tuesday. That happens a lot around here. In case you hadn’t heard, it’s been downright frigid around these parts for the last week or so – at least frigid for us! And unless you’re living south of the equator, it’s pretty darn frigid where you are, too, I’m betting. Time for [...]

Recipe Monday: Chipotle Sauced Meatloaf

I am an absolute fiend for Chipotle. Chipotle anything. As one of my birthday gifts, last year, MJ went online to one of our favorite exotic spice purveyors and, among other things (like Szechuan peppercorns and turmeric fingers!), got me some dried chipotle peppers and chipotle chili powder. Mmmmm! Saturday was rainy and stormy, and [...]

MultiGrain Mango Ginger Muffins

Speaking of mangoes… I was inspired last week by Elle’s Brown Butter Maple Blueberry Muffins, to try and make a version with less sugar and more good stuff that MJ (the hubs) can snack on that won’t completely sabotage his diabetes type II diet (he’s down 35 pounds and 2 pants sizes!). Please don’t make [...]
