Another gorgeous box. One of my boxes of sungold tomatoes was moldy last week, sadly, but they more than made up for it giving me an extra box of them this week and a little bouquet of snap dragons :-D Some roasted chipotle tomatillo salsa ...

This is an incredibly easy and relatively healthier cake. Just take an 18 oz box cake mix (I chose devil's food, but spice is also very good) and one 15 oz can of pure pumpkin and beat together. Don't add anything else. It will form a thick ...

Tonight's dinner was fast and easy - a combination of a couple previous recipes. I mixed one pound of ground buffalo with some kosher salt, black pepper, and Worcestershire sauce, then formed it into four patties, which I pan fried. After flipping them over, I added 8 oz ...

Another great box. The apples are just wonderful, and this week saw the first of the winter squash - some beautiful little pumpkins. I'm looking forward to roasting those :-D

I signed up for Weight Watchers on September 1st, and meals like this fit in very well with the plan. ...

This recipe was inspired by my bierock recipe (German bread dumplings filled with a mixture of ground beef, onion, and cabbage). Omitting the bread makes it a bit healthier, and pork chops seemed to fit with this method of cooking better than ground beef. The beer lends a ...

This is a healthy take on stuffed peppers. This is oven broiled and stuffed with a lean meat and veggie mixture rather than cheese. The picadillo is a Brazilian version, based on this Allrecipes version. Ground beef is more traditional, but the ground turkey is a good ...

With the leftover tenderloin from last night, I made these layered enchiladas. I cut up the pork into small chunks and browned them up in a skillet with a bit of olive oil, with the additional seasoning of cumin and chili powder. I then added a can of ...

Another simple and tasty dinner tonight. I preheated the oven to 425 degrees F, sliced up about 3 pounds of romanesco summer squash into 3/4 inch thick rounds, sprinkled them with kosher salt and black pepper and popped them in the oven. I then made a rub from ...
