Broccoli Bulgur Basil Bliss
All I can say is that it is embarrassing to know the number of times my spoon has gone into the glass container originally packed full with Broccoli Bulgur Basil Bliss. I adore oil, lemon and basil. Tomatoes this time of year are just big ‘ol grapes that need a bite or two. And broccoli? …
Step Off That Beaten Path
Isn’t important to shake it up once in a while? Do something different? Go somewhere new? Take a chance? This is not big, but it made me very, very happy. I had to dispense from cooking today. Just quit for a day and put it on hold. Maybe my creative fires needed to smolder for …

I cooked first thing this morning, after the dogwalk and before the run. It’s a quick one pot endeavor. …
