I'm craving all the Irish foods as we approach St. Patricks Day on Sunday. Aside from the regular dishes, I'm trying a new one this year.  Boxty are Irish Potato pancakes, not sweet but crispy and savory. Once considered a "poor house bread" by using leftover mashed potatoes, they were a staple in Ireland in the 1700s. Today's version is served hot from the pan, with butter, sour cream or honey with chives added to enhance the flavor.  more

As we end the month of February, my waist reminds me that winter has gotten the best of me and I need to get back on track. Winter weight is real and while I'm only a few pounds over my goal, my body feels it. I've never stopped watching my carb intake and for the most part, I'm eating low-carb and healthy but movement has been less than desired due to the weather. Now, that we are adding minutes to each day, it means more actively outside and that will help.  So, let's look forward to longer days and better eating, I'll start with this recipe that has been making the rounds on Facebook all week. If you like egg rolls then you'll love this one-bowl meal. I've made this with lean ground beef, and pork sausage too but never chicken as this calls for but it's good no matter the meat you choose. Paired with zero-carb tortillas for taco style, this makes a very filling meal with little guilt.  Full of flavor and easy to prepare, this recipe is a keeper for everyone wanting to eat better.  Farewell February. more

While the weather can't make up its mind, the calendar does, it's still winter foodies. That means it's still soup and stew weather and what goes best with both, fresh bread from the oven. I know how time-consuming bread baking can be and I don't mind the long progress, most of the time. But sometimes, you need a faster way to get the homemade taste without all the work. And I found a recipe that delivers both, you just mix and bake. This Cheddar Cheese bread will soon become a favorite as it has mine, and in the next batch, I'll try a different cheese, maybe jalapeno with real bits of the pepper chopped in. You could also add some herbs.  more
