Veggie Inspired Omelette

Veggies Inspired Omelette

Love veggies? Love eggs? Me too! I took a bag of frozen veggies, defrosted it and added it to some scrambled eggs. My big mistake? Tough to flip. Then I remembered, you can put it in the oven for a fritta. You have to have it in the right pan to start with (and the handle has to be able to "handle" the heat.) This one had a non-baking handle, so I ended up flipping it, in three sections. Not a problem for me, but I had anticipated a more beautiful finished product. Still, it tasted GREAT!! Delicious and my favorite way to add lots of vegetables into my meals!...

Review of Wild about Greens

Review of Wild about Greens by Nava Atlas

A friend gave me Wild about Greens by Nava Atlas a while ago. I looked through this cookbook and thought "what a nice gift" but then never really did anything with it. I do enjoy reading cookbooks though I don't always feel compelled to actually make anything from them. Since we're doing the 2021 Veggie Challenge and I'm trying to introduce some vegetables into my diet that, while not necessarily new, are foods that I don't normally eat. When it comes to greens, I'm comfortable with a variety of lettuce, spinach, and kale. I struggle with some of the other greens but I'm feeling compelled to improve my greens repertoire. That's when I remembered Wild about Greens. This cookbook has 125 recipes in it, all based on...

Celebrating St. Patrick's Day Outdoors

Celebrating St. Patrick’s Day Outdoors

This year we were Celebrating St. Patrick's Day Outdoors. It was a great way to spend the day. Last year at St. Patrick's Day, we were in shutdown here in Ohio. Most everywhere was in shutdown. I remember that my friend bought my a corned beef sandwich as takeout and left it on my front porch for me to enjoy. I sat at home by myself, ate my sandwich and drank a beer. It was an odd day, for sure. This year that same friend and I went to a local restaurant to have that corned beef. The day was so beautiful and warm that we were able to sit outside, have a sandwich, and a beer, and enjoy each other's company.  What a nice way to...
