Colin and I love lasagne/a, but we never eat it, partly because it’s expensive and partly because it’s carbohydrate-intensive and that’s less than ideal for a diabetic (we hardly ever eat pasta, period). I’ve never made lasagne all by myself before and I’ve always heard that it’s a pain to make, but that made me [...]

I've been in Dallas, Texas, for the last few days on our Thanksgiving vacation. Our friends, Ashley and Justin, invited us to stay with them and celebrate Thanksgiving with them this year and we happily took them up on their offer. My sister Phoebe and her husband John live nearby and were invited to join [...]
Whole peas do not belong in burritos
Posted in Cooking on Nov 8th, 2007
Last night I made burritos for dinner. I made the filling out of black beans, leftover cooked chicken, and salsa with some garlic and onion powder thrown in with some salt and pepper.

Cookie Recipes

When I was pregnant with Maggie and had gestational diabetes I noticed that artichokes helped lower my blood sugar. I'm talking about fresh artichokes here, not bottled [...]
One of the things Colin and I like to do together is shop for groceries. We almost always do our grocery shopping together, since we both like the bright lights and colors and want to have some control over the food that comes home. We like to spend time together, too, and it's a little bit [...]
Breakfast Foods
Posted in Cooking, Food, Things I Like on Feb 12th, 2007
I love breakfast foods. Muffins, french toast, pancakes, german pancakes, and popovers are all things I like to eat. Yogurt, orange juice, biscuits and gravy, pigs in a blanket, oatmeal, cold cereal, too. Pretty much any kind of egg is yummy–scrambled, fried, poached, sunny-side up, in a basket. I just don’t like it when the [...]
Here is a list of ideas for things to bring with you to eat as snacks when you're not home that I made for my sister who's working and didn't leave herself a dinnertime slot open when she put together her schedule. Cheese sticks Granola bars Jerky Banana Apple Pear Orange/Tangerine (t's are easier to [...]
