Bento: Black Bean Chili (244)

July 30, 2009 By Jenn 3 Comments

This morning, I needed to throw something together quick for lunch. I don’t have a picture of the actual “bento” since I just didn’t have time this morning. However a lunch is packed, though I’m not real sure bento can be used in this instance. I’m using it anyway. One box has the black bean [...]

I’m not one much on doing restaurant reviews. This isn’t because I’m not opinionated. All you have to do is read this blog to tell that! It’s because I don’t feel I have the palate to really make the review. However, I do know what I like and what I don’t. And for that reason, [...]

Bento: Pan Fried Flounder & Chorizo Garlic Potatoes (237)

July 17, 2009 By Jenn 8 Comments

Today’s bento is all about taste and comfort. I’ve been feeling the need for something a bit “heartier” than usual after nearly two weeks of salad, cucumber, eggplant, and the like. I knew before I started cooking I needed to do something with potatoes. I had a small amount of red new potatoes I’d purchased [...]

If you live in Baton Rouge, you know Coffee Call. I love it there though I seldom go. For many people in Baton Rouge, it’s a way of life. If you’re a regular, you go on weekends, meet people you know, read the paper, play some mahjong, and have a good morning in general. Last [...]

July 12, 2009 By Jenn 6 Comments

I want to thank everyone who posted a response to me about what to do with the garlic basil bread I’d made. For whatever reason, I came to a big stumbling block to figure out what to do with it all. However with a detailed response from Cathy, a mention of eggplant from Yvo, and [...]

Quick Suggestions Needed

July 11, 2009 By Jenn 14 Comments

Anyone have any quick suggestions for me? This weekend I tried a new type of bread that I do like, but will make a few changes to next time around. All around I’m pleased with the first loaf with a garlic basil flavoring. Oh my! It’s extremely tasty. There’s only one problem. I don’t know [...]

Today, I have no bento. I’m took a day off to help my mom prepare for the garage sale we’re holding this weekend. Instead of a bento, I made a great dish last night and decided to share pictures. A few weeks ago, I told Yvo that I had an idea for a dish that [...]

Eggplants & Lentils (231)

July 8, 2009 By Jenn 10 Comments

As I’ve been working on this meat-lite, semi-vegetarian lifestyle, I’ve been trying many new-to-me foods lately. Apparently opening myself up to such an eating regime opens up many possibilities for me to force myself to not say, “Oh, I don’t eat that.” Eggplant has always been one of those things that I have said that [...]
