I married a carnivore. Seriously - the man would eat only red meat if I let him. I, however, am a vegetarian. This blog is dedicated to helping all those blended families like ours out there. We have learned through trial and error how to eat dinner together every night. It takes some planning and some work, but in the end we get to enjoy well balanced meals together. So, if you have a teen who just went away to college and came home to tell you he no longer eats meat, but everyone else still does, this blog is for you. Or, if your brother just brought home a woman who he says is the love of his life, but she eats meat and you do not, this will help you learn what to cook at family gatherings. This is not a vegetarian only site. It is written by one though. It is also not for people who are opposed to cooking meat in the house. This is for people who are trying to coexist. So in that vein, I have created this blog with marvelous main dishes that everyone will love, super side dishes that will help sneak vitamins into your carnivore, and delicious desserts to wrap it all up. I have also included some of our favorite breakfast items and great gadgets I love to use while I am experimenting in the kitchen. Nothing I cook is super fancy or complicated. It is real world cooking for real families.

Certain foods carry me back to my childhood. My earliest memories of fresh food came from my great-grandmother's kitchen. They had a small farm in their backyard full of fresh corn that we shucked ourselves, purple hull beans that we snapped until (read full article)

So, I guess I should start by explaining my lengthy absence first. Long story short, this vegetarian and her carnivore now have their own little omnivore (well, since I am nursing he technically is also a vegetarian for the time being). As you can im (read full article)
Let me just say, I know this isn't the sort of recipe you have never heard of before. I know it isn't something you have never tried (unless you are my carnivore then you have definitely never had this dish). Consider it a friendly reminder. The trut (read full article)
So many people are growing their own gardens this year. The carnivore and I managed to plant a huge pot of herbs and a couple of tomato plants. Luckily we have been very successful on both accounts.However, there is one small glitch in our tomato gro (read full article)
This salad is probably my favorite, especially this time of year when the tomatoes are ripe an juicy. It is also the easiest. And while the carnivore wouldn't touch it with a ten foot pole, he did help grow some of the ingredients.To make this salad (read full article)
Most days I have no idea what the carnivore has for lunch. I assume it isn't very healthy. I, on the other hand, probably have my healthiest meal of the day at lunch. Often it involves a salad. And, I am constantly trying to come up with new salads t (read full article)
As you may know the carnivore and I are trying our hands at gardening for the first time this year. We have been very successful with our herb garden, but we are still waiting on our tomatoes to turn red. In the meantime, I have enjoyed a few green t (read full article)
I often have salads for lunch. But every vegetarian out there will tell you that that gets old sometimes. So, what's to do? Well, occasionally a switch it up with salad, pasta salad that is. But, this is not your mother's pasta salad from a box. Firs (read full article)
It is literally 105 degrees here. That means I am not that interesting in having big heavy meals. Sorry mac and cheese, I love you but you will have to wait till it cools off some. So, as I was looking for light, I came across an ad in Bon Apetit wit (read full article)
