If you break it down, it's just a rice tart. I know, it seems a bit weird to put rice in a tart shell, but it's great. It's like a sweet risotto in a pie. What else could you want? Oh yeah, nutella and plump raisins on top. In other news, we have all our … Continue reading Torta di Rizo

Why I Can’t Vote for Romney
Even if I weren't a liberal, it's because he is beyond a flip-flopper: he is a liar. Maybe not on purpose, but he definitely does not stand for many things he's stood for before. I'm not saying a politician is not allowed to change their mind: in fact I think that politicians, with great thought … Continue reading Why I Can’t Vote for Romney
Weekly Menu
I am the type of person that needs to know what I'm going to eat for dinner the next day as I'm eating dinner in the evening. Well, not need...but I like to think about I'm going to make, and if I don't know, I freak out like a small, lost puppy. Usually I'm pretty … Continue reading Weekly Menu
Do we have an obligation?
So I have been shying away from social/political posts as of late because well...because. So I read, I keep up, but instead of posting about it, I just discuss it with Tyler. But I finally broke when I saw someone post this week, April 2012, about a the Trayvon Martin shooting which happened on February … Continue reading Do we have an obligation?
Coconut Cherry Millet Muffins
Most of what I post is pretty healthy. Well, in small portions at least. But this takes the cake, or the muffin I guess, for being most healthy. Millet Muffins. Before you turn away grossed out, I will tell you have made and finished these more times than I can count. More impressively, my husband, … Continue reading Coconut Cherry Millet Muffins
Thoughts of my Mother: Wanderlust and Palak Paneer
The recipe in this post will be rather long. It's not difficult, there are just several steps. If you want to try something new, try this. Some people say my addiction to food is quite peculiar. My ability to remember exactly what I ate, and generally where I ate it, from years prior, I must … Continue reading Thoughts of my Mother: Wanderlust and Palak Paneer
Raspberry Breakfast Bars
My perfect weekend usually involves a tasty dinner on Friday night. Saturday morning kind of early with coffee, a slow and tasty breakfast with the dog and the hubby, grocery shopping, reading a good book in a coffee shop, then walking the dog around our neighborhood. Lazy Sunday, more reading and coffee, some baking, some … Continue reading Raspberry Breakfast Bars
Spring Break + Avocado Cream Pie
March 12th - March 16th, Spring Break 2012. Now, you may think this will be another post about a week on the beach in Galveston...but you'd only be partially correct! This year, the stars aligned, and all of my family had time off at the same time. This seems easy to accomplish, but with my … Continue reading Spring Break + Avocado Cream Pie
Nigh Kayaking and Pecan Pina Colada Oats
So for the past few weeks, Tyler has been going kayaking/boating with our friend Raleigh. He'd always come back desperately tired, but full of smiles and stories of how many times he rolled over in his boat in the water, or how he went down a rapid upside down...my thoughts were always...yes, fun. Upside down … Continue reading Nigh Kayaking and Pecan Pina Colada Oats
Caramel Walnut Tart with Chocolate Glaze
Hello readers, I have a story to tell you...it's called, "How the Baker Got Her Groove Back" Once upon a time, there was a baker. She lived in a cute little house, with two cute little dogs, and a cute little husband. She would pitter patter around the kitchen in a cute little apron, adding … Continue reading Caramel Walnut Tart with Chocolate Glaze
