Right across the street from the market sits Someone’s in the Kitchen, once a restaurant, now a private space for parties and cooking classes.

Tempeh Sloppy Joe’s
Inspired by my friend touring in Texas. He says the best part of Texas is their BBQ. That night I tossed together this meal, with images of BBQ in my head. It was super easy! I crumbled the tempeh into a hot skillet, browned it a bit, and added my homemade barbeque sauce. (You can…
Detox menu-day one
For breakfast we had Ben’s Friday pancakes, and as always, they were delicious. Lunch was somewhat of a cheat, with vegetarian indian take out. Dinner I had to throw together quickly, as my husband was on his way home early, and we were running behind. A quick glance at the menu, and I decided that…

I did not feel like hauling the crockpot all the way across campus! Bake some prepared food from the freezer? I could do better than that! Then I thought,…

And the kids like them too. (forwarded from Cookus Interruptus) Ben’s Friday Pancakes This unique pancake has no flour but…
Easy Weeknight Indian
My son asked why we don’t eat more beans, at dinner last night. Surprised and pleased at the same time, I promised him we would eat them more often, starting with the following night. In planning, I took into consideration that Wednesday night is Lost night, and we have friends over for dinner after the…
Maple Syrup!!
Have you seen the prices for maple syrup lately??? I don’t buy this grocery item too often, maybe four times a year, but noticed we were running low, so I priced it while at my favorite grocer. It normally ran somewhere between $5-6 for 12 ounces of organic grade B real maple syrup, but this…
