Currently cooking out of Whole Grains Every Day, Every Way by Lorna Sass. Remember this post a couple of weeks ago? Well, ever since then, I’ve been beating my head against a wall called Lemon-Poppyseed Muffins. And the wall has been winning. From the first time I made these muffins, I thought they had promise, [...]

Currently cooking out of Whole Grains Every Day, Every Way by Lorna Sass. Every quinoa recipe I’ve made out of this book seems to include corn. Maybe it’s like Sass said – these two new world ingredients just seem made for each other. Whatever the case may be, they do taste wonderful together. And this [...]

Currently cooking out of Whole Grains Every Day, Every Way by Lorna Sass. See those sad little hockey pucks? Those are my second attempt at Sass’ cornmeal biscuits using the modified recipe I found on her website. Alas, they weren’t much better than my first try. Flat as the biscuits were, they were pretty tasty [...]

Currently cooking out of Whole Grains Every Day, Every Way by Lorna Sass. I first heard about quinoa a couple of years ago. At the time, it was really hard to find and I soon gave up looking for it. These, days, however, it’s easily found in the natural foods section of most grocery stores. [...]

Currently cooking out of Whole Grains Every Day, Every Way by Lorna Sass. The picture I had in my head of this dish was nothing like it turned out to be. I was imagining a creamy, warm, white liquid in which black grains of rice floated. What I got was black. Black liquid, black rice, [...]

Currently cooking out of Whole Grains Every Day, Every Way by Lorna Sass. Over the past year, Bryan and I have become flank steak aficionados. We tend to eat it at least several times a month. It takes well to marinades or rubs, cooks up in a flash and is delicious cooked on the grill, the [...]

Currently cooking from Whole Grains, Every Day, Every Way by Lorna Sass. I only have few food dislikes. I hate liver (and am too old to be told it is steak, mom!) and I hate oatmeal. I dislike liver because of the taste. My dislike of oatmeal, however, all comes down to texture. I don’t [...]

Currently cooking out of Whole Grains Every Day, Every Way by Lorna Sass. I’ll never make a good southern gal. I can’t make biscuits to save my life, which is a shame, because they are easy, delicious and make a great side to just about every meal. And with some jam or jelly, they can [...]

Currently cooking from Whole Grains Every Day, Every Way by Lorna Sass. I like chicken. I like peppers. I like corn of all kinds, including hominy. I liked this dish. I’m not sure whether or not one would consider this a soup. There was a bit of broth, sure, but it was mostly chunks of [...]

Currently cooking from Whole Grains, Every Day, Every Way by Lorna Sass. My first dish out of the next cookbook, “Whole Grains, Every Day Every Way”, by Lorna Sass, did not start off auspiciously: It was too ugly to take pictures of.  After baking my way through “The Art & Soul of Baking”, I wanted [...]
