Thursday – woot! Today at work was our Halloween potluck, at which I ate my fair share of food, but that didn’t stop me from being hungry for dinner. Seva was our restaurant of choice tonight.

Sneak peek: Yes indeed, nommers; things got a little saucy (and I’m … Continue reading
Oh snap, look what I just dug up:
How to Make Lentil-Barley Soup 1.

Well, I did change my method in three ways, and was happy with the results. 1) Did not peel the sweet potatoes. It’s such a pain and I … Continue reading
Hey nommers! Monday already. And a pretty irritating Monday, at that. Phew that weekend was fast! For the last few weeks, I have been doing as much cooking prep work on Sundays as possible, which has been making my life so much easier on work nights, when it comes to making dinner.
