Black Beans Vegan & Two Ways
Beans, I’ve learned, are a pretty controversial food when they don’t need to be. Beans are an excellent source of protein and fiber, and beans are also incredibly inexpensive which means you get a lot of meal for your buck. We all (mostly??) have our favorite beans, mine include black beans and garbanzo beans because…

Soccer may be a big deal here in Europe but this Sunday we had plenty of reasons to indulge in one of our favorite snacks. 7 layer dip. When you have to two U.S. Open finals to watch and a UFC event, 7 layer dip is the way the go. But of course, we had…

Mini Frittatas & Smoked Salmon Pinwheels
Like most people, I absolutely love the weekends. I work for myself so it isn’t so much about what the weekend represents—time away from annoying coworkers and clueless bosses—but more about the relaxing culture that encompasses all weekends. I think I have a better appreciation for my weekends now that I’m living in Europe. I…

Welsh Rarebit Mac & Cheese
I don’t really eat macaroni and cheese often, mostly because of all that fatty stuff that goes into and makes it so darned tasty!

I pride myself on being a fairly health-conscious eater, but being from Chicago the craving for pizza sometimes is just…unbearable. Rather than suffer the cardboard greasiness found in the big pizza giants, I always choose to do it myself. If I have yeast on hand I’ll even make my own dough using this recipe by…

Green & White Nachos
When I was a child my granny used to make beans a lot, especially dry beans. Maybe it was the beginning of my mild OCD but I used to love helping her sift through the beans, discarding the gross ones. That was my introduction into dry beans; before then I only knew of canned beans.…

Creamy French Onion Soup
Since the weather here in Stuttgart doesn’t seem to be anywhere near Spring-like figured it was time to revisit a soup that I’ve only grown to love as an adult. A few years ago I lived in Boston and enjoyed many of the best things the city has to offer, including lunch and Shakespeare in…

Pear & Maasdam Ciabatta Sammies
When it comes to making food I find that the most difficult meal to be creative with is lunch. As a kid I would be content with a grilled cheese or a bologna (YUCK) sandwich with Miracle Whip. As an adult however, my tastes have improved…a lot. And now that I no longer suck down…
