The daffodils are blooming, the days are getting longer, and every now and then the rain stops long enough to let some sunshine peak through the ready-to-flower tree branches. Spring is knocking on Portland’s door, and I, for one, am ready to answer! With asparagus on sale this week at ACG, I could think of no […]
This Friday is 10 on the 10th! No, no, not the discount day at ACG (though it IS that one, too), but the ten year anniversary of my becoming Mrs. Loves Food. In honor of mine and Mr.’s decade of pure wedded bliss (HAHAHA!), I am sharing a recipe for a decadent budino, ideal for […]
Confession: this week’s recipe, though awesome, is not new to the ACG website. I posted it last October, but never featured it as Recipe of the Week. Since cauliflower is on sale for $1.69/lb this week, I thought it was a perfect opportunity to give this incredible side dish it’s well-deserved moment to shine. It […]
Greetings from my temporary kitchen in the Sandia Mountains of New Mexico, where Mr. Loves Food and I are currently visiting his parents! The weather has been absolutely incredible, with not-too-hot sunny days, and nights so clear I’m almost overwhelmed by the stars visible in the sky. As a native Oregonian, I tend to be […]
Did you know that February is Heart Health Awareness month? As a sucker for themes, I couldn’t pass up the opportunity to make a Recipe of the Week based on this. According to Healthfinder.gov, the number one thing a person can do to maintain heart health is eat well. ACG conveniently started carrying Organic Valley […]
This week we have an extra-special recipe to share with you, inspired by the coming weekends Sports Ball! Since I am all about LOCAL and Portland doesn’t have a pointy-ball team, I am of course talking about the two Trail Blazers games, on Friday and Sunday at 7:30pm and 12:00pm respectively. What makes this recipe […]
You know that feeling when you just need a salad? When you go to a pizza shop and the Caesar sounds better than a slice? Yeah, that feeling hit me hard last week. I wanted roughage, and I wanted it bad. As I stood in the produce department, though, I froze. I could not for the life of […]
It’s been a long week. It’s been a cold week. It’s been a week where all I want is cozy. For a lot of people, myself included, that coziness comes from yummy, carb-y foods. And so I bring you this baked sweet potato, doused in Red Blanket Sauce. As the sauce name implies, this dish is […]
So I don’t know if you guys have noticed, but Portland is covered in snow! What better breakfast can a person have before heading out to brave the elements than a hot bowl of porridge? In this case, it’s an amaranth porridge topped with spicy stewed apple and pear and some toasted pecans. An optional […]
Most people are familiar with grilled cheese. That is, they are familiar with slices of cheese sandwiched between pieces of bread then cooked on a hot pan until melty and toasted meet in a perfected bite of childhood happiness. The grilled cheese sandwich is a classic that appears on menus all over the country, from […]
