Are we going on 11 weeks of Corona? We’ve gone through a lot, haven’t we? Shock, grief, disbelief, fear, anxiety, what it really means to “shelter in place” (a phrase most of us have never heard of before), the cooking, the baking, the masks, the lack of basics, like toilet …
A big theme around my Corona cooking, is “using what you have” and I have learned to get creative with what is in my pantry lately. Combine that with Mark, my husband, insisting on doing all the grocery shopping…that might be for another post. In short, innovation is in order, …
Sourdough, I have learned, has its own personality and temperament. Time, temperature, the weather, my mood – it all affects how a loaf of bread will turn out. I wrote about sourdough starter and the care and keeping of it, on my Green Palette Kitchen website, and you can learn …

This recipe is so easy I can almost not call it a recipe. I see a lot of people who are in what I call the “chicken and salad” rut. Maybe you can relate. A couple nights a week, on goes the grill. A couple of chicken breasts get cooked, …
I know, a dish with salmon and white beans feel a little more Mediterranean doesn’t it? But, I was called to do a pantry sweep for my Five Ingredient Pantry Challenge, (here on my FB group) and I pulled out an assortment of ingredients. Then, I felt in the mood …
More than ever, I want to keep my immune system strong. I think I am with so many others who are in a state of disbelief and feeling very scared at the same time. The reality that we have to shelter, as well as wondering if the virus is going …
