Cold Spring Rolls

I recently ran across some pictures of spring rolls in an asian cuisine magazine… which is a dangerous thing. My longtime affection for asian cuisine has been halted a bit since learning of my gluten intolerance just last year.

In case you needed a reason…

Husband and I have been doing some reading about health issues (specific to us) and how food affects that… I personally have decided I am making the hard commitment to go completely vegetarian.

Nothing is more wonderful

updated on 06-19-2007

Broil in (my) oven for 7 minutes until [...]

I really love yuca. It is such a versatile food and I cannot argue with the fact that my husband delights in my chips – in all their varieties. He bough me a HUGE yuca root at the store – picture one about 14 or more inches long. (dood, it was huge)

So I set about [...]

Five Bean Salad

In search of a simple, nourishing dish that would not disrupt my stomach’s finally tuned balance – I stumbled across this at the grocery store. Or, to be more exact…. I was standing in the aisle near canned beans and an idea began to form in my head. Put simply, this is the easiest [...]
