I love doing one pot meals. They are generally easy to make and to store. Last week I made a braised beef brisket which cooked in the oven with lots of juices and veggies. I wanted more veggies with this though and I decided to add some kale on the side. I was so hungry [...]

I have a confession to make. All I want to do is sleep right now. I’m on my third day off in a row. A real rarity with my schedule. I think my body is telling me that I need to stop and rest. I spent Monday doing errands, laundry, and cooking. Yesterday, [...]

Today is one of those days. Sleep deprived from my crazy work schedule. My body not allowing me to sleep for at least 2 hours arriving home from a closing shift and its insane need to make me wake up at the same time every morning that I don’t work an opening shift [...]

This isn’t quite the post I was planning on for today. What I planned was sharing about was being a stand-in parent. One of the boys I used to work with was supposed to come up with his girlfriend to visit me to today. Of course he’s not really a boy anymore. He’s almost 25 [...]

I was reminded about cooking fish in parchment paper while reading a magazine article on ways to add flavor to your food. Even though I see it used all the time on cooking shows I always forget about it. It’s been years since I cooked fish en papillote. I attempted to use a folded heart-shaped [...]

As I sit here typing this, I’m praying for some friends that are in Japan and for my family and friends in Hawai`i after the 8.8 earthquake that hit Japan. Hawai’i is now under a tsunami watch so it will be a trying night getting to sleep (it’s already 2am) while I make feeble attempts [...]

While I’m working on developing some recipes I figured I’d share some more of my aromatherapy arsenal. How many of you spend a bunch of money on brand name exfoliation products? Heck, even generic products can be expensive. Chances are, you have at least one ingredient in your pantry that you can use. [...]
