French Apple TartFrench Apple TartLast weekend my friends and I had planned a camping trip to northern Georgia. I was to meet them after I finished my field work. Due to a series of unfortunate events, ie: no cell phone service, I couldn't get a hold of them for directions and chose to drive the five hours back home after my day of hard work. I had… |

Vegetarian Breakfast CasseroleVegetarian Breakfast CasseroleA few weeks ago I went camping, and the bread I had was pulverized by the time I got back. The only thing to do with it was make it into cubes or crumbs for another application. Since it was also kind of stale (the whole description of this bread is less than appetizing, I imagine), I decided it was in… |

Whenever I think tahini, I automatically think hummus. Now that I have a food processor in my midst the making of hummus is easy again.I know,… |

Chili-Rubbed Steaks and Pan SalsaChili-Rubbed Steaks and Pan SalsaOne of my favorite healthy recipe sites is eatingwell.com. The recipes on that site are consistently delicious. One recipe that I found recently featured a steak covered with a warm salsa made in the pan the steaks were seared in. While any 1/2-inch thick steak would work for this recipe, to keep it… |

Banana Nut OatmealBanana Nut OatmealIt seems for the past 3 weeks all I have been having for breakfast was smoothies. When I woke up today, it seemed so chilly in my apartment that I just wanted something warm instead of cold, pulverized fruit. I'm actually getting low on groceries, so I was pleased to find I had all the ingredients to not only make… |

Creamy Balsamic VinaigretteCreamy Balsamic VinaigretteThe other day I had a massive craving for ranch dressing, but because most commercial ranch dressing is made with poor-quality oils, like soybean oil, I stopped buying it a long time ago. As a substitute, I made a balsamic dressing, but it was almost a thin mayonnaise. To make the dressing creamy, I simply… |

Caramelized Onion Turkey MeatballsCaramelized onions are one of the most delicious recipe additions. On top of a burger, in French onion soup, breakfast casserole...delicious. They should be in more recipes, and in an effort to make that happen, I added them to turkey meatballs. Turkey is one of those meats that is really complemented by sweet flavors.Take your time… |

Broccoli, White Bean, and Cheddar SoupThe semester has picked up for me, so I have been hard at work...except for spending the weekend camping in northern Florida.

Some want it more for the fatty acids, which are found in tuna and salmon, while others want it as a low-calorie, low-fat source of protein, which characterizes many types of white fish. It also seems that people are… |
