(Or “Rozzie,” for those in the know.”) Dinner was just a caprese salad, a simply pan-roasted pork chop, and broccoli sauteed on high heat with onions, red [...]

Spinach, pear, and chicken apple sausage salad, originally uploaded by BipolarLawyerCook.
A riff on a Food and Wine recipe from years ago. Low(ish) carb, and gluten free (check the sausages and soy sauce to make sure they’re GF). I don’t use asian pears, just regular pears or granny smith apples. I’ve also stopped soaking the sausage [...]

Stealing a page from inspired by Mrs. G’s blog posts of her favorite things, here are a few of my favorite things:
Teddie Peanut Butter, natural super chunky. I grew up in the town where it’s made, and there is nothing like the odor of roasting nuts, wafting out of nowhere.
Dr. Bronner’s organic lavender liquid [...]

Here’s my attempt at a Ginger Beef & Broccoli stir fry. I marinated the beef in soy sauce, the juice of 1/2 a lime, some Penzey’s Bangkok Blend, and a grated thumb (1 1/2 inches, appx.) of fresh ginger for an hour before cooking. I par-steamed the broccoli in the wok before starting [...]
