The Best Brand of Whole Wheat Pasta?

Whole Wheat Vermicelli with Browned Butter and Mizithra Cheese

There was a time when I thought of whole wheat pasta as something that only a health food nut would eat. But I’m talking years ago. Back then, you really couldn’t find something like whole wheat pasta unless you went to an actual ‘health food store’ to buy it. You know the ones I’m talking about. Those tiny, poorly lit places that smell like old vitamins. Continue reading →

Orange Yogurt Bread Recipe

Orange Yogurt Bread

Wow, it’s been a while hasn’t it?

Well here’s a really good recipe to help us get back into the swing of things! I had planned on creating lots of new citrus recipes this past season, and I did get a few put together, but this last one comes straight from a cookbook. I did actually try making my own version of an orange yogurt bread but it wasn’t nearly as good as the one I’m about to share with you. Continue reading →

Help Families in Need by Helping Yourself to a Free Cookbook

Thanks to the lovely Leah at Spicy Salty Sweet, I just downloaded a free Italian cookbook! The cookbook, brought to us by Barilla, is called The Celebrity Italian Table and features celebrity recipe favorites that have been recreated by Mario Batali. From what I’ve read so far, many of the recipes look really good. I guess I shouldn’t be surprised since it comes from Barilla, makers of my absolute favorite dried pastas! Continue reading →

Ten Things You Might Not Want to Know about Me and Food

I don’t usually participate in any of those ‘blog tag’ games that circle around the internets. It’s not that I don’t want to do it. In fact, I usually have good intentions when I get tagged. It’s just that I have this little problem called procrastination that seems to interfere with just about every blog post I plan on writing. So this is a formal apology to every blogger who has ever tagged me for one of those internet memes in the past. I meant to follow through, it just didn’t happen. Continue reading →

A Valentine’s Gift from Oprah

Sorry guys, the book giveaway is already over.

This is rather random, but it’s too good not to share!

I had actually been meaning to pick up Suze Orman’s new book, Women and Money. But thanks to Oprah, I now have a free copy of it downloaded on my desktop! That’s right, Oprah is giving away free pdf copies of Orman’s book. The catch is that it’s only available today. So get on it!

Update: Sorry guys, the book giveaway is already over.

Thanks go out to Emon who let us know via Twitter.

Happy Valentine’s Day. I really mean it this time!

Heart Shaped Cappuccino

Some of you might remember that I was somewhat bitter on Valentine’s Day last year. And it was with very good reason. But I made the best of it with that yummy Carrot Ginger Soup and I got on with my life. Well, it turns out that I am alone once again this Valentine’s Day. *Sigh*

All of you military wives are nodding and thinking, “yep, been there, done that.” It’s just part of military life. But I really don’t care much about spending Valentine’s Day together. And no, I’m not just saying that because I’m sitting here alone at Starbucks. It’s enough for me to know that, even though he’s not in the same city as me right now, he’s not in Iraq.
