A few weeks ago I made a salad for lunch. One ingredient I love to throw on a salad is chickpeas. As soon as I sat down to eat it, my mind went into what I call one of its “stream of consciousness creative sessions” about chickpeas. I’m not sure what causes these moments to […]
It seems that lately I have fallen into doing a series of brownie like dessert recipe creations. I never planned for it to happen, it just sort of evolved on its own. The first brownie recipe was one that we did for one of our from Angie’s kitchen posts back in January. While that one […]

Last week I sat down and spent some time trying to come up with some ideas about what to work on for my entry this week. I was kind of all over the map and not totally sold on any of the ideas that I had come up with, so I randomly asked my son […]
