During my first couple university years, Lipton’s Side Kicks made a regular appearance on my dinner table. From Asian noodles to cheesy linguine, I felt like I was making a gourmet meal when all I was really doing was opening up a bag and boiling a pot of water. But they were delicious, fast, and…

How to: Seasonal Cooking – Crispy Goat Cheese and Cherry Salad
We’re getting to a point in the growing season when I hit the farmers’ market hard and pretty much overdo it every time. This week, cherry overload. Actually…scratch that. No such thing. I’M IN LOVE WITH CHERRIES AND I DON’T EVEN CARE WHO KNOWS IT! (…jumping on couch) Uh. Sorry. HaHa. That may have been a bit…
How To: Quickie Meal – Thai Chicken Enchiladas
It seems we like us some enchiladas. Tortillas filled with everything from butternut squash to corn and zucchini, wrapped up and topped with sauce and lots of cheese. What’s not to like?

Mondays after a long weekend are always rough. You’ve had a blissful three day weekend to celebrate Passover or Easter, the weather was actually spring like for one of the days, and the sun was shining most of the weekend. And then comes Monday – back to the grind. I also had the lovely…
How To: Quickie Meal – Fish Tacos with Roasted Corn Relish
I have been chomping at the bit waiting to share this recipe with you. It was so good, I made it twice in one week. That may also have been due to the fact that I needed to finish a pacakge of fresh corn tortillas before they went bad, but that’s besides the point. …
