I have a lot of food memories. In fact, most of my childhood memories involve food in some way. I used to play “cafe” in the basement for hours. I had a big cardboard box of play food and plastic menus, and the box doubled as a stove for my “cooking.” I was the hostess,…

Pan con Tomate
This month’s Recipe Redux challenge is to beat the July heat with a no-cook meal. I can’t think of a better one than my dinner last night.

No matter what you call it, it’s a delicious comfort food dinner. Traditionally a savory stew of of chopped tomatoes, macaroni…
Chocolate Chip Banana Muffins (with wheat germ! and whole wheat flour!)
These little choco-nana treats are airy, not overly sweet, and have a je ne sais quoi flavor (hint: it’s the lemon zest). The whole wheat flour and wheat germ don’t carry them to health food status, but they do add fiber and antioxidants from whole grains, and a signature…
