Navy beans are not something I cook with frequently and since I am an honest blogger that word should be never.  I picked up some dry navy beans a few months ago and used them when making a dish that included parsnips and mofongo thinking that I could make a black and white dish.  When [...]

2013 Ironman - Ironman Texas

2013 Ironman Texas was raced on the surface of the sun or at least it seemed like it was.  Everywhere in America there has been a mild Spring and even here in Texas that can be said.  I checked the forecast every now and again and it showed a high of 89* and I was [...]

Food Network debuted back in 1993 and has been a staple of my life ever since.  I can remember the first show I watched featuring Emeril Lagasse in a white kitchen with just about nothing else but himself.  It was so disjointed and not the greatest episode but like a bad car wreck I could [...]

Confetti Salad was something I had not heard of until Courtenay joined the #EnduranceFoodies movement.  When she asked if she could be a part of it I was intrigued by the idea of what somebody does with simple ingredients while keeping it tasty.  I am a big believer that time in the kitchen should be [...]

Arsenic was found in our rice based on a study from Consumer Reports, but I will be 100% honest about the topic of arsenic and rice.  I had no clue about this arsenic issue until I made a comment on the No Meat Athlete blog regarding snacks.  Every night I have rice cakes from Lundberg [...]
