Here in the Northeast United States, the growing season for vegetables and fruits is coming to an end.
Some vegetables, though, continue to be harvested. Still available at local farmers’ markets are cauliflower, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, leeks, parsnips, collard greens and some salad…

Today's post is a 2-for-1 special. Following the discussion of the last two days, I wanted to remain on the subject of knowing who is growing and making our food, in the hopes of avoiding giant food companies like Cargill. Plus, there’s a video showing how quick and easy it can be to make a…

I personally abhor broccoli. I
cannot stand it in any way, raw, steamed or stir fried. It makes me
want to throw up and I hate seeing it on appetizer trays. I
always remember the arguments I used to have at home about eating
the 'WONDER VEGETABLE'. My mother always went on … Read More »

Broccoli is my go-to everyday vegetable: it’s affordable and available year-round. And the icing on the cake is that it frequently earns a top spot on “superfoods” lists. This is partially because it’s packed with an array of vitamins and minerals. And partly because it delivers a healthy dose of sulforaphane, a compound thought to thwart cancer by helping to stimulate the body’s detoxifying enzymes. EatingWell has dozens of delicious recipes for broccoli (try our Ginger Broccoli recipe below). Read More »

The recession has hit so many
people. Thousands of lost jobs spreading across a number of
sectors. Once big time bankers are scrambling for jobs at
places like Starbucks. Houses that were once worth $750,000
are now half of that and "being underwater on my real estate
purchase"… Read More »

Anyone who's been in love, lust or a variation of the sort knows about becoming attached to a scent. Tommy Hilfiger cologne, Old Spice deodorant with a hint of sweat, and Trident gum all come to mind. The funky side of this olfactory attraction is when the reminding scent happens to be an unpleasant one. Read More »

Roasted Broccoli
I've said it before, and I'll say it again. I am not a vegetable fan. I was the girl who would never eat her vegetables, and everyone knew it.
Now that I'm older, things are changing. Lucky for me (well, for my health) my boyfriend won't take any nonsense when it comes to me eating healthy, so I don't have much of a choice. To make life a little more enjoyable for myself, I've tried to find vegetable recipes that I actually enjoy, rather than having to force them down.
The credit for finding this recipe goes to my sister. She'll randomly send me links to recipes that she wants me to make for her, and this was one of the better ones... in fact, just plain amazing! Sure, broccoli used to be one of the only vegetables I'd eat, but I certainly wouldn't go out of my way to eat some when I was younger. Who would've ever known I'd crave broccoli? Recipe adapted from Amateur Gourmet. The recipe for the tuna cake sandwich seen in the background can be found on my food blog, Fridgg.com.
