It’s Friday night. What does that mean to you??? In our family, it usually means pizza and a movie.

Perfect Brown Rice
Brown rice is a staple in our family. It is such a great base for many foods, especially ethnic dishes. Just think of the curries, gumbos, teriyaki and stir fry dishes that taste best snuggled on a bed of brown rice.
Winter Kale Salad
Winter in Minnesota usually means sweaters, slippers, and hands wrapped around a mug of something hot. Since I am not a huge fan of typical “comfort food”, I tend to make soups and stews. But sometimes even that can feel too heavy.
Italian Turkey and Ravioli Soup
The wind is howling, the temperature is dropping, the fire is crackling, the candles are glowing, and COMPANY IS COMING!
Farmers’ Market Soup
Contrary to popular belief, not all women like to shop. Some of us feel like pimply, awkward teenagers every time we walk into a mall, and our anxiety nearly blows through the roof. A trip to Macy’s can trigger hyperventilation (I love that word). But at least there is some order at Macy’s – black sweaters of every size hang on one rack. The next rack is a sea of bluejeans. I can handle that.
Creamy Turkey & Fennel Soup
I love Thanksgiving. The turkey, family gatherings, laughter, turkey, seeing in-laws and new generations, and I really love the turkey. In fact, I’m not a huge fan of all the stuffing, gravies, cranberries, or green bean casseroles. It’s mostly the turkey I go for.
