I have no idea where the name Shaboo Shaboo came from. A good friend shared this recipe with me years ago and even she doesn’t know who came up with the moniker. All I know is this is one of my and my husband’s absolute favorite go-to meals. We originally made it with brown rice […]
So I’m writing this post as I’m in the middle of a 3 week Daniel fast / juice fast / herbal detox. Today marks Day 1 of our three day raw fruits & veggies / juice fast portion. And while I’m doing well and loving all the fresh juice made from my brand new Champion […]
Does anyone else ever feel like they are drowning in zucchini in the summer? I know I’m preaching to the choir when I say that I cannot give away my abundance of zucchini fast enough this time of year! I just shared a presentation on local food as part of the Vintage Remedies 2012 Virtual […]
I don’t how it’s possible, but I have two friends in my life who just don’t like red meat. It doesn’t sound appetizing to them. And they even know the difference between crappy, processed, chemical-filled, cancer-causing CAFO beef and healthy, happy, CLA-filled, cancer-fighting grass-fed beef. But still, hamburgers are not at the top of their […]
When I first laid eyes on this recipe over at Little Bit Crunchy, Little Bit Rock & Roll, I bookmarked it right away. I was practically drooling on my keyboard at that point. Once I started meal planning, I actually planned to make this dish one week and, consequently, bought all the necessary ingredients from […]
This recipe is the fruit of my second week of successful meal planning. I love trying new recipes! In this particular case, I found a yummy looking recipe online and modified it to fit the ingredients I like or had on hand. But then there was burdock - which I had never heard of before […]
Curry powder is one of my most favorite smells in all the world. It’s right up there with honeysuckle and freshly baked bread. I add obscene amounts of curry powder to my curries. And every time I open the bottle I shove it right under my nose and inhale the heavenly scent. I admit I […]
Pumpkin soup has never been on my radar as a particularly delicious meal to cook and consequently consume with great relish. And if I’m being really transparent, I had never actually cut open a pumpkin with the intention of cooking it before just a few months ago. Never. Not even once. I like pumpkin. I […]
It’s true, I miss my kitchen. I miss muffins. I miss baking in general. As much as I do love every minute of our experiences while traveling (well, almost every minute-camping in the freezing cold rain and wind of Wellington didn’t exactly make my top 10 list), I do miss my kitchen and a consistently […]
It has been ridiculously snowy this winter in the South. Case in point: I’m sitting at the table right now looking out the window at 3-4 inches of snow on the ground. For the THIRD time this winter. Please note that a good snow like this may only happen once each winter in the South. […]
I could tell you some great story about a family recipe that’s been handed down for generations. Or that this is the final perfection of a recipe I’ve been tweaking for months. But actually, this is the result of dumping some random ingredients from my refrigerator into a crockpot one morning, then hoping & praying […]
