I’m really excited to be writing this article, as it’s been a while since my last article for FoodieView. Things have happened! I have cheekbones again!! The hubbs and I have been living a new “lifestyle”. Some may use the “D” word, but I prefer not to. Because of my age, and because I’ve been heavy most of my life, “diets” don’t work for me.

Back in March, I got yet another unfavorable report from my doctor. If I didn’t lose weight and get control of my sugar, the next step was insulin. Uhh.. insulin requires needles. Homey don’t play that game. Sorry. Pair that news along with my turning 40 last November and well.. something clicked. Something that, to be honest, scared the bejesus out of me. I’m not in high school anymore.. my partying days are over and […]

Summer is here and if you have kids you may be planning for lazy days by the pool, hikes in the mountains, or picnics at the park. Or maybe your kids are lucky enough to go to camp.
As a work at home parent, I’ve signed up my two children, Nathan, 8, and Lucie 5, for a myriad of activities hoping that they don’t come to me every 20 minutes complaining that they’re bored. Even so, it’s only been a week and they’ve spent most of their vacation fighting with each other or demolishing the house. Me? I’m ready to ship myself off to summer camp.

As we move into the last few weeks of Spring, more and more food is coming into season. Even the colder states are starting to see fresh, local produce appearing in Farmer’s Markets, grocery stores and farm stores. Buying fruit and vegetables during their season rewards you with the best flavor and quality. Coming into season this month are some of my favorite foods including green beans, raspberries, blackberries, several varieties of lettuce, Vidalia onions, and eggplant.

Eggplant is one of these love it or hate it vegetables. Detractors point to its tendency towards bitterness and the sponge-like way it absorbs oil but eggplant lovers know that with a little careful preparation, this meaty vegetable can be divine. The beginning of grilling season is upon us and this honey garlic grilled eggplant from Beyond Salmon […]

Even though Memorial Day is the traditional start of the summer grilling season, my itch to fire up the grill and cook outdoors comes much earlier, usually in April in spite of the continuing cool weather. Come July and August when the days are hot, cooking on the grill helps keep the house cool and cleanup easy. After a long day outdoors playing with the kids and working in the garden, the last thing I want to do is heat up the house! My love of grilling comes from my dad who used to raise the garage door and pull the grill just barely inside, leaving the door open of course, so he could grill with a foot or more of snow on the ground in the middle of January.

While we are bathing in the warmer days of Spring, Summer is right around the corner and promises of outdoor dinner parties and fun BBQs with friends and family will be here before we know it. The appetizers are ready to be set on the table, meats and vegetables are getting nice and toasty on the grill, and desserts are tucked away ready for the grand finale. From cupcakes, cakes, bars, and tarts to ice cream, the selection could not be more abundant for al fresco dinners. Both children and adults will find happiness in the little selection I put together for you.
When it comes to pleasing everybody I think one cannot go wrong with S’more Cupcakes from this little piggy or Oreo Muffins from Eat Drink Live which appeal to the inner child in each of us. For more […]

Is there anything that marks summer’s arrival more deliciously than sweet, succulent strawberries?
Photo by Karinaof Karina’s Kitchen
When I was growing up the first strawberries of the season were cause for celebration, usually in the form of my mom’s mile-high strawberry shortcake. Once she made that, we knew it was officially summer time.
May-June is peak season for locally grown strawberries throughout most of the country. So now is the time to get to your local farmers’ market or u-pick farm where super juicy, exceptionally sweet vine-ripened strawberries await.
Finding fresh strawberries shouldn’t be too difficult. That’s because in the States we produce about 2 billion pounds of them each year, with nearly 90% grown in California. We have to since 95% of Americans love strawberries. (I’m assuming the other 5% are either allergic to or haven’t tasted a strawberry). Because what’s not to […]

Cinco de Mayo (the 5th of May) marks the victory of the Mexican Army over the French at the Battle of Puebla. The holiday has grown to be a symbol of Mexican pride, and is now celebrated more in United States than it is in Mexico.
For most of us, Cinco de Mayo is another stuff-your-face food holiday. This means loading up on greasy chips, super sweet margaritas, and monster burritos smothered in green chili sauce. Talk about eating your entire daily allotment of calories in one meal. Not good!
Mexican Food Doesn’t Have to Be Unhealthy
Mexican cuisine can be a nightmare for those trying to lose weight because of all the added fat. Many dishes are fried, covered in cheese, and served with sour cream or guacamole. Luckily, it’s easy to turn a typical Mexican restaurant […]

Some folks may think rainy days are dreary, but for me they’re just the thing - perfect for relaxing indoors and baking something scrumptious. The rhythmic beat of raindrops on the roof have such a soothing sound, tempting you to while away the afternoon with a good book, a hot cup of something, and freshly baked muffins, cookies or bread. Rarely have I been able to resist the temptation to create a day like this for myself, so I’ll put some low Frank Sinatra music on and get busy in the kitchen.

There are two ways to approach baking on rainy days: quick and slow. Each brings its own rewards and we’ll explore the quick world of muffins, unyeasted breads, scones and cookies first. These treats require minimum effort for maximum reward, coming together […]

Passover is one of my favorite holidays. I love the ritual meal of the seders, the analytical arguing as we go through the Haggadah, and especially the singing at the end. And, of course, the food.

On Passover, we avoid chametz, which can make desserts a bit difficult to create. After all, no chametz means no baking with flour! But never fear, The Food Section offers a round-up of Passover desserts, and Smitten Kitchen has 17 Passover dessert recipes for you as well.

If you’re looking for a flourless chocolte cake recipe, I bet David Lebovitz’s Chocolate Idiot Cake would be a great one to try. It looks intense, delicious, and idiot-proof to make. David also has an intriguing recipe for Caramelized Matzoh Crunch with Chocolate, which I definitely want to try […]
