I know that the Meatless Monday campaign promoted by Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health has been in the media a lot recently, but I still wanted to present it to my readers because not only is it a good idea for our personal health to eat less meat, it is good for our environment as well. And–eating meatless one day a week helps us come up with even more[...]http://www.tigersandstrawberries.com/2009/07/...

In the summer, I make pesto at least once or twice a week, and have been doing so for the last five or six years. I always plant an abundance of basil in the garden and then harvest it all summer long, enough to make a meal or two’s worth of pesto each week–so for years, Zak and I have been eating copious amounts of this delicious garlic and basil based sauce. And what[...]http://www.tigersandstrawberries.com/2009/06/...

I like simple, unfussy desserts like tea cakes or fruit crumbles in the summertime because I prefer to showcase the natural flavors of seasonal fruits than play with finicky torte layers or rich buttercreams when it is hot and sticky outside. When it is hot, I don’t really want to eat much in the first place, but it is a shame to not use fruit in its season when it is at the[...]http://www.tigersandstrawberries.com/2009/06/...

Even though there was a snowstorm last week, spring marches forward, washing Appalachian Ohio in an ever-brightening wave of green dotted with yellow, violet, pink, white and rose as trees, flowers and grasses burst from the slowly warming earth. The gardens, solar greenhouses and farms surrounding Athens are fertile with early spring delights: scallions, sweet radishes, rhubarb,[...]http://www.tigersandstrawberries.com/2009/04/...

Succotash is one of those dishes that sounds like a joke. You know, like when Sylvester says, “Thsufferin’ thsuccotasth.” It just doesn’t sound like anything that anyone would really eat. But yes, people do eat it and it is very good. But where did it get that outlandish name? It isn’t outlandish at all–I mean really, we European[...]http://www.tigersandstrawberries.com/2009/08/...

So, what do you do when you have leftover roasted asparagus? Well, you could put it in an omelet the next morning for breakfast or brunch. Or, you could add it to pasta with a creamy mushroom sauce. Or, you could bake it into a casserole, puree it into a soup or mix it into a cheese sauce and use it to top baked potatoe. Or, you could toss it to a salad made of other[...]http://www.tigersandstrawberries.com/2009/05/...

Fish is good for you right???? Well, the truth is that not all fish is good for you - if the fish has high mercury levels, was farmed destructively or appears on the red list, it is definitely not good for you or nature. Hake is still on the green list here in South Africa and if you can lay your hands on fresh hake, it still is for me one of the nicest nicest fish to eat. Quoted from the[...]http://www.my-easy-cooking.com/2009/07/pan-fr...

You know, I could have left this recipe for next week’s “Meatless Monday,” but I liked it so much and it tasted so good I couldn’t wait that long. This is yet another recipe to come about because I needed something as fat-free as possible and vegetarian to eat so as to not upset my already cranky gallbladder. And this–this delicious pasta recipe fit[...]http://www.tigersandstrawberries.com/2009/10/...
