Something pretty amazing happens when you roast vegetables. I love roasting garlic, asparagus, potatoes and peppers. This was my first time roasting broccoli, and I’m a huge fan. The sweetness you get from the caramelization is a great flavor booster in this Pasta Salad with Roasted Broccoli from Everyday Food Magazine. Another one of the…

chocolate-cherry clusters
Three ingredients, fifteen minutes prep time, an amazingly great snack: the Chocolate-Cherry Cluster. From the January/February 2011 issue of Everyday Food Magazine.

lighter beef chili – everyday food challenge
When I started my Everyday Food Challenge back in June of last year, my intention was to cook one recipe, in order, from issue #1 through the entire collection. Several problems arose. One, the crafty and smart editors create each issue to seasonally match what foods are available and at their peak. This can sometimes…
lighter sesame chicken – everyday food challenge
Confession time. I’ve made this recipe for Lighter Sesame Chicken four times in the last two weeks. It is insanely good.

This looked like a slightly healthier alternative. None of…

ham and potato bake – everyday food challenge
Back to my Everyday Food Challenge. This week I delved into the March 2005 issue and food a recipe for the Ham and Potato Bake. First a note, I’m not a ham fan. In fact, some day I’ll tell you the story from my childhood about the Christmas Ham. I’m starting to come around to…
