Confession: I make potato skins all the time. Great for a football game, great for a party, great for a Saturday afternoon…I could make excuses to make these all day long! You can top these potato skins any way you’d like, but I enjoy them with freshly chopped green onions (which I grow on my windowsill), chopped crispy bacon, Parmesan and a side of sour cream.
Potatoes are some of the cheapest thing to buy and come in 5, 10 or 15 pound bags. Depending on how many people you’re feeding, you decide what size to get. Continue reading
Peanut-Free living is an inconvenience, but it isn’t that hard to live. Since my husband is allergic to peanuts, he had never experienced the creamy goodness that is peanut butter. We started experimenting with making our own nut butter so he could enjoy wonderful things like bagels with nut butter, pad thai or a nut butter and jelly sandwich. This nut butter can be made with any nut. Since my home is Peanut-Free, we like to use hazelnuts or almonds.

Indian food is one of my favorite cuisines since my dad grew up in India and cooked it all the time when I was younger. I rarely use recipes and just “cook from the heart” when creating these dishes, and this is no exception. Raita is one of the best dips for naan bread or drizzled on top of some Indian yellow rice.

My visit to Stonehenge in rural England was humbling and inspiring. As an archaeologist, I was fascinated by the monument and had always wanted to visit the location.
The New Age Spiritualist in me was also craving a trip to the magical site. I had heard of stories of New Age Druids coming to Stonehenge seeking spiritual rejuvenation, peace and a inner-transformation experience.
Seeing Stonehenge in all its original and reconstructed glory is well worth taking a guided tour. We were provided with maps and photos of the original reconstruction, which was amazing because it was night and day between the photos and the rubble ruin before me. Continue reading
