When I was at the Robert is Here fruitstand, I saw a new-to-me fruit called Sapodilla. Mistaking them for potatoes, I would have walked past had I not read the sign.  “Tastes like a pear with brown sugar!” What??? Yes, please! Brent and I ate most of them plain for dessert. Sapodillas are soft and creamy. They […]

I like versatility.  Reversible jackets.  Kettlebells as doorstops or for workouts.  Minivans for  children or 4×8 sheets of plywood.  It’s one of the reasons I love my Perfect Pesto.  I can use it to spread on bread, make the most killer egg sandwiches ever, toss with pasta, in place of pizza sauce, toss with veggies, […]

Let me tell you a secret.  I don’t loooveeee veggies. At least not in the same way I looooveee pizza. (I know it’s almost heretical.)

A few years ago my friend made something like this. Since then, I’ve been playing around trying get the ingredients in just the right proportions to fit my taste and it has become, by far, my favorite dressing. So much that I brought it in a cooler with me on vacation. It is a tasty […]

This is not a recipe I made up. It’s more of an “idea” that I’ve heard buff fitness people make. The few times I’ve been eating my protein pudding outside of my home people have asked me what I’m eating. When I tell them they almost always say, “Oh that’s a good idea.” Which is […]
