The Weekly Menu March 21, 2016

Hello friends, it’s time to plan out the weekly menu for March 21. How was your week?  Were you on Spring Break, too? Do anything exciting? SXSW?

My Take on Asian Fried Rice

Hello Meatless Monday! So Asian Fried Rice?  It’s been done before. Why blog it again?  I’m sharing this recipe because Asian fried rice recipes have been a challenge for me.   And trust me that I’ve tried to make ‘Chinese Fried Rice’ with old cooked rice and cold rice – all the ways they’ve said to make fried rice – but it just never works for...

The Weekly Menu Feb 29, 2016

Hi everyone! Hope you had a great week.  Time for the weekly menu Feb 29, 2016.

The Weekly Menu Feb 15, 2016

The weekly menu Feb 15 is ready! So I’ve finished up my third week back at school online at Johns Hopkins University.

The Gluten Free Weekly Menu Food Choices

Here’s to A Happy New Year! I can’t believe this is the last casein free, gluten free weekly menu of 2015! It has gone by so fast.

And I’ve met a lot...

We’ve come a long way with...
