In the early 80’s, two life changing events happened almost simultaneously. Tom Cruise had his breakout role in Risky Business, and I spent the night with a buddy up the street. The first makes sense although some may argue Mr. Cruise’s performance in the Outsiders catapulted him to superstardom. The second is a bit more…
Sweet Potato Hash
Today, I want to discuss hash. Now, I am not talking about some experimental phase you had in college involving black lights, Grateful Dead music, and a long-haired, hippy- looking guy named Stan. No, that type of hash is better left in the incense-filled dorm room where you left it. And besides, that type of…
Vegetable and Fruit Smoothies
Since the dawn of mankind, parents around the world have been telling their children to eat their vegetables. I am certain that the first cave mom (cave dad was out hunting with his primitive weapons), while watching her child eat a giant hunk of mastodon steak, said “maybe you should have some green beans to along…
Apple Pecan Bread
Be kind and please don’t judge me. But, I have sent my children to school with nothing more than a toaster waffle wrapped in a paper towel for breakfast. I am not proud. And it certainly won’t win me any parenting awards. In fact, I am actually ashamed to admit that this chef sends his…
Pumpkin Bread
Now, I will be the first to admit that I am no baker. Sure, I play one on TV sometimes, and if I have stayed in a Holiday Inn Express the night before, I can pull off cookies or brownies. But otherwise, I am a miserable failure at the craft of baking. I normally leave…
Kale Pineapple Smoothie
It is hard to believe, but this post is number 50! Thank you all so very much for reading my stuff and trying my recipes. I did have a really fancy Thanksgiving recipe all ready to go for this milestone, but I got a message yesterday from a reader and had a change of heart….
PB and J Smoothie
“Good morning, sunshine. It’s time to wake up and get out of bed. Did you sleep well and have good dreams? It’s time to get out of bed. No you can’t sleep in today. You have school. You need to get dressed. Please get out of bed? You need to wash your face, brush your…
Tofu Scramble
Can I ask you a question? Have you ever come home after running errands and taking the kids to all sorts of afterschool activities to find out you don’t feel like cooking dinner? I mean sure you planned an elaborate display of your vegan culinary prowess, but some nights you just want to have a…
Roasted Vegetable Frittata
Back again because those lettuce wraps were just that good? I told you they would make you a rock star. And as you used a spoon to eat the last of the peanut sauce, you were probably thinking, “Can Bob possibly make something else that carnilicious?” Well, I can, I have, and I will pass…
