Home Grown Gumbo Salad

It’s my favorite time of the year!  Time for fresh veggies!  The Farmer’s Market doesn’t start for a couple of weeks, but I achieved something miraculous all on my own – ARUGULA! 
I knew that this year would be rough for growing summer vegetables.  The large watermelon that I am carrying around is impeding my ability [...]

Asian Market Delight..

D and I are LOVING the Asian market by our house.  It is so cheap and so good, and they have great finds.  I am not perfect in knowing what to do with Asian sauces and spices, so sometimes it turns out odd.  Note to self:  Don’t add tomatoe to thai yellow curry.  But this [...]

Ingreds:

Some Chicken.  I find two big grass-fed breasts are the best.  This [...]

Limas and Stuff Soup

This is my first recipe entry on MacNDos.  I’m trying to rake in the readers using some roasted garlic and simmering broth.  er, something.
Thing is, I make good soup.  And the absolute BEST soup I make is when the cupboards appear to be bare, there is nothing to eat, and I want something yummy.   Funny [...]
