I think I’m probably out of the norm when I say that I truly enjoy receiving interesting foods to sample and review. My most recent discovery came Friday afternoon in a non-descript white envelope shipped from Freekehlicious LLC. Sounds like a gift from a Halloween novelty shop, right? Au contraire. Inside, instead of scary masks and costumes, were two bags filled with Greenwheat Freekeh. Have you every even heard of Freekeh? I’ve just learned that Freekeh is a roasted green wheat native to the Eastern Mediterranean. Apparently, … [Read more...]

Angel Food cake is one of my favorite sponge cakes. I adore its light airy texture laced with that hint of sweetness.

I decided to adapt one of Mom’s quiche recipes. My kids have loved all the other egg-based dishes I’ve made (calling them egg pies) so, I figured I’d experiment with a Chicken Asparagus Quiche.
