Have you ever had a kumquat before? I haven’t had one since I was a kid. I faintly remember a family member urging me to try this little orange, proclaiming, “You’ll love it!” I also remember the out pour of laughter when my mouth puckered from the super sour center. Kumquats are nature’s sour candies. [...]

I cook vegetarian at least once a week, and also for my vegetarian father-in-law when he visits. I do not pre-soak or pre-salt the eggplant. I [...]

Everything else on the menu is practically inedible, but the poppers are nearly perfect. They make them with fresh jalapenos. I have been afraid to [...]

This is one of my first very healthy meals of the year. I was cooking like this a bit more in the past, but for some reason, I have slipped back into my old habits again. This dish is one of those cleaning out the freezer dishes. As I cleaned out the bottom basket of [...]

Fried rice is my favorite Chinese takeout food. Its very delicious, but can be full of unwanted fat and calories from your local Chinese restaurant. Making this popular takeout dish at home can ensure the quality of ingredients and save you on some unwanted fat grams. I love to make this dish as our supper. [...]

This is simple crock pot recipe for black bean soup. I first had black bean soup while living here in central Florida. Florida has a large Cuban population, and their traditions have influenced many Floridian cooks. Growing up in the panhandle of Florida, I was never exposed to Cuban or any other Hispanic food.
