When my son Tristan was a baby we went over to my husband’s professor’s house for their Thanksgiving dinner. Their home sat on several acres with a barn, a green house, and a couple of ponds. It was beautiful at their home in the country in North Carolina. The house was a quaint old two-story home with lots of detail and cracks running up the walls that silently told the… more

I love tomatoes they are one of my favorite foods. I love to eat tomatoes in salads, with a little salt right off the plant, in sauces, but my favorite way to eat tomatoes is in soup. Growing up my mom made grilled cheese sandwiches and out of a can tomato soup. I thought it was the best soup ever until I was visiting my sister’s house in the Carolina’s.… more
Cooking Asparagus Made Easy

Growing up in parts of Western Nevada I remember taking long walks with my parents along the drainage canals that fed water to the local farmers crops. Along side these canals grew wild asparagus. It was fun picking and foraging the asparagus that grew like weeds near the water’s edge. My mom made many meals with our picked asparagus and it is one of my favorite vegetables. Unfortunately, asparagus gets… more

When we decided to go gluten free as a family, one of the new foods introduced to us was the seed quinoa. I had never heard of it, but quinoa is now one of our favorite staples in the pantry. Quinoa is wonderful because it cooks quickly, it is a super nutritious complete protein, and it has a wonderful mild flavor all on its own. I love quinoa because most… more

How To Cook Lentils
| March 4, 2012 | Posted by Michael under Cooking: How To . . ., Dad's Corner, Gluten-Free, Vegetarian |
The art of cooking lentils varies with the type of lentil you wish to cook, but the steps are relatively easy. There are a number of varieties of lentils, and a number of sub-varieties of those. Lentils fall into green or brown (most commonly found in standard American grocery stores), red, black, and a number of other varieties. Usually, at least what I have seen in the United States, the… more
Gluten Free Curried Lentil and Rice Patties
| March 4, 2012 | Posted by Michael under Dad's Corner, Gluten-Free, Vegetarian |
Indian-style recipes are some of my favorites. Not only are many dishes gluten-free and vegetarian, but they are great for those who seek a healthier lifestyle. While my wife was pregnant, with all of our children, she ate significantly more food. Unfortunately, I followed this trend of increased food intake alongside her, especially with our first child. In addition to a strenuous exercise program, I lost a significant amount of… more

Super-Easy Crock-Pot Vegetarian Chili
| January 19, 2012 | Posted by Amee under Gluten-Free, Slow Cooker, Super-Easy Recipes, Vegetarian |
This is a super-easy Crock-Pot® vegetarian chili that is basic, but excellent. Over the years I took what I liked from various chili recipes to create this one my family loves. Although this is a vegetarian chili, if you wanted it with meat, the proper amount would be about one pound of ground beef or turkey. Another ingredient to add additional flavor is to use one envelope of dried onion… more
