Snowed In With A Chinese Five Spice Veggie Stir Fry

By Ben Frank | Published: February 2, 2010
So, Sunday the plumbers came and put in our new water heater. We were so excited to have hot water, to finally wash dishes that were stack­ing up, to finally shower. Unfortunately we’d had to wait. For what­ever rea­son our new water heater was wired incor­rectly and as a result had no power. It would [...]

A Tasty Start to a Cold, Wet Day

By Ben Frank | Published: January 30, 2010
Today was sup­posed to be won­der­ful. It bliz­zarded big time here yes­ter­day. Er, big time for Nashville. We got 5 – 6″ fol­lowed by about a quarter-inch of ice on top of that. As a result, we had a lovely day of nothin’-doin’ planned for stay­ing inside. Well, not exactly nothin’-doin’. There are a few chores and [...]

By Ben Frank | Published: January 23, 2010
Okay, I know. It’s been way too long since I’ve posted. I could bore you with many excuses about how I’ve been too busy or how being sick fol­lowed by the major hol­i­days really got the best of me and my time. But in real­ity, my heart just hasn’t been in it. I’m not sure [...]

Thanksgiving Leftovers: Spicy Tequila Lime Turkey Tacos

By Ben Frank | Published: December 2, 2009
Everybody has expe­ri­enced it. Piles of thanks­giv­ing food left over after the big meal. For days at almost every meal its turkey, dress­ing, pota­toes, etc. Monday I took a big plate of every­thing we had at Thursday’s Thanksgiving feast to work with me for lunch. It was still really good, but it had lost its [...]

Thanksgiving, Family and Food. And a Recipe!

By Ben Frank | Published: November 28, 2009

Spicy Pumpkin Curry Soup

By Ben Frank | Published: October 18, 2009
Lately, with the weather going fur­ther and fur­ther towards win­ter here in Nashville, we have been crav­ing foods with warmth. Especially Megan, who could die from hypother­mia in 70º weather. And I’m not just talk­ing about food that is served warm. Megan had the idea for this spicy, India-inspired pump­kin soup that sounded like it [...]

Apple Pie-O-Lantern and Spiked Spiced Cider

By Ben Frank | Published: October 17, 2009
With fall apon us (and threat­en­ing to sur­ren­der us com­pletely to win­ter), few things sound bet­ter to me right now than warm baked goods uti­liz­ing the fruits that are in sea­son. For dessert last night, Megan made this awe­somely adorable and sea­son­ally appro­pri­ate apple pie-o-lantern. There wasn’t much to it, store bought crust, Megan’s mom’s [...]

Pumpkin Spice Pancakes with Shaved Dark Chocolate

By Ben Frank | Published: October 11, 2009
After the weeks of glo­ri­ous win­ter squashes from the CSA, this last week we finally got a pump­kin! We instantly started mak­ing a list of dishes want to use it for. Pumpkin bread, soup, muffins, pan­cakes, pie, etc. — you get the idea. Fortunately, the pump­kin was large enough that we can use it for a few [...]
