Be Inspired: To Cook, To Laugh, To Dream
Sorry that there have been so few posts lately. As Max mentioned in his ramblings last week, I had a bout of stomach flu last month. Thus, cooking wasn’t on my agenda. 😀 But I’m back with some delightful things planned. Now we just have to cross our fingers and hope everything turns out. To be fair, some won’t. It’s just the nature of the beast. Not every dish is a winner; some are epic fails.
Last week the library celebrated the lunar new year with an employee potluck and one of the librarians graciously invited me to attend. While Koreans do celebrate the lunar new year, I really don't because new year to me is fireworks and champagne. :D I only recently became more familiar with the ... [Read more]
I wanted to start the new year with a delicious healthy recipe to set the tone for me this year and ongoing. For a long time, I didn't believe healthy and delicious were two words the belonged together. Most good-for-you food tasted like sawdust or worse. Today, I know that is not true. Many healthy ...

I am officially a grill aficionado, although I won't pretend to be a grill maestro ... yet. But I have been doing a ton of grilling lately and like it! I started with the basics — a great hamburger and now want to master chicken. Chicken and I have a love/hate relationship. I love that chicken is a ... [Read more]
Ah, hamburger. How you confuse me. I don't like you, but I like you. Sometimes. You are yucky just cooked on the stovetop and placed between a bun. You are yummy when cooked on a grill and placed between a toasted bun. You are simply weird. Really, it's you — not me. I swear I'm the normal one in ... [Read more]
I've been actively seeking out good-for-you recipes that also taste good. Now this may seem like an obvious thing to do, since I'm trying to get healthy, but I am typically resistant to "diet" food because it tastes crappy. Or at least that has been my previous experience. And this is another reason ... [Read more]
Sorry about the delay in sharing this post with you. I truly meant to post it last week but had a bad case of the blahs. That's life. The good news is I've got more pep in my step again, like the Max Man does 24/7, and have several food posts in the hopper and ready to go. Yup, I got ambitious last ... [Read more]
