It’s apple picking season here in New England, and what better use of apples than applesauce?

Now that I have two kids in school I have received a bounty of freshly picked apples – pretty much every kid in school around here goes to apple picking at a local farm for a field trip at this time of year. Eating apples raw is delicious, of course, but it can get a little tiring after a while, and if you’re like myself the last ones in the bag go uneaten and get thrown away. Applesauce is the cure for your uneaten  — Read full post

Bubble Tea is one of my favorite drinks. I crave it. Luckily, it’s easy to make at home.

Bubble tea is originally from Taiwan, it was created in the 1980s. Eventually it’s popularity spread throughout Asia, then across the world. My favorite bubble tea is the type with boba tapioca pearls, but bubble tea can also be made with small cubes of jelly, or you can even just make the regular Thai iced tea without any sort of bubbles.

You can add the boba bubbles to just about any drink, but they are typically added to either Thai iced tea  — Read full post

Veggie spiral slicers have been all the rage this past summer, and making zucchini noodle “pasta” has never been easier. Here is a delicious recipe for Zucchini “Pasta” with meatballs.

I never thought that I would be a supporter of zucchini pasta, but here we are in 2016, and I am here to say that it’s pretty good!

Some sweet and spicy pork sounds delicious for dinner tonight. This recipe is delicious and also low in fat and calories.

Before I became more interested in cooking, whenever I heard “pork” I immediately thought “fattening.” Surprisingly, though, 3 ounces of pork is only around 200 calories. I am a big eater, though, so I probably eat twice that as a serving size. However, ounce for ounce it’s very similar to chicken, which I have always thought of as low in calories.
