I wrote about this a year ago when I first made it but after making it again this weekend I felt compelled to tell you about it (and give you the recipe this time). It is truly delicious and, aside from the dough rising, quick. This time I threw some prosciutto on...
Vegetable and Bean Tostadas
It occurred to me, as I was eating these mind you, that they are very, very healthy. Corn tortillas that are just sprayed with a little vegetable cooking spray and baked, sauted onions and peppers with garlic, some cole slaw mix tossed with lime, and your own...
Roasted Carrots

One of my favorite things about cooking is when I am surprised. And given how much I cook, that doesn’t happen very often. Disappointingly, I pretty much know what’s going to happen when I, for instance, saute a plain old chicken breast, which is...








Just watched them make these on tv. I think I want to try them.
