Did you all enjoy the Superbowl? What an exciting game, right? Ok, you got me. I only turned it on for the half time show, which I thought was quite enjoyable. And really, the only other reason I would ever be at a Superbowl party is for the food. So it may be a week…

How to: Recipe Makeover – Eggplant Parmesan Sandwiches
I’ve been making these sandwiches for a long time. I’ve wavered about using them for a blog post though, since my standard technique is to fry the eggplant slices in a large quantity of oil, which I attest is extremely delicious but perhaps not appropriate as a recipe makeover. So I tried baking them. And…
How To: Quickie Meal – Thai Chicken Cabbage Wraps

In which case, game over. I haven’t a clue if this would…
How to: Recipe Makeover – Sweet and Sour Meatballs
Winter’s coming…. Game of Throners have known this for a while. But today it feels like it’s here. There was a crispness in the air. I had to wear a scarf. Hmph. It makes me want to cook everything I eat in a big old pot so it can simmer away while I change into…
