You Can’t Take Miami Out Of The Girl

DrKim — Fri, 09 Jun 2017 22:20:48 +0000

When I was a little girl, I went on an RV trip with my parents to the western US. It remains one of the best memories I have, and so, not surprisingly, I told my husband years ago that someday I would love to travel with our children and see the country. At the time, …

DrKim — Mon, 08 Sep 2014 23:15:15 +0000

Dont’cha just love having dinner already simmering along waaaay ahead of time? I do. In order to accomplish that, I employ one of my favorite indentured servants, my crockpot. (Ironically, at the time of this posting, my crock pot is out of service. Good thing that this stew can also be made on the stove). …

The BEST (non-dairy) Creamy Tomato Soup

DrKim — Wed, 11 Jul 2012 22:50:09 +0000

Do you like cream of tomato soup? I do! Of course, the best way to make it taste great is by adding lots of CREAM. However, most of us don’t want all those calories, and those of us who want to avoid dairy products also would probably decide to just go ahead and…..skip the creamy-ness. …

Yes WHEY!!!!

Little Miss Muffet sat on her tuffet (A footstool or low seat), eating her curds (like cottage cheese) and WHEY. Why whey? What IS whey? Whey is the cloudy, yellowish liquid that is leftover after milk is curdled. It’s packed full of protein, vitamins, minerals, and enzymes. It’s really good for you and a total …

Old-Fashioned Gingerbread

DrKim — Wed, 02 Nov 2011 23:41:56 +0000

As I recently mentioned, I’m Back in the Baking Game. And since we moved, I have only replaced my baking sheet, and don’t have any cake or muffin pans, and therefore have only baked cookies or brownies in our baking dish. And for the past several weeks, I’ve been completely off processed sugar, which unfortunately …

Back in the Baking Game

DrKim — Sun, 30 Oct 2011 20:24:54 +0000

I’ve found that there are a few types of things in life that people naturally categorize themselves into those who do and those who don’t. For example: baking. When I was a child, my baking was limited to following directions on a ready-made mix box. (By the way, did you know you can make your …

Tastes of Jamaica

DrKim — Wed, 24 Aug 2011 19:57:06 +0000

When I first met my husband-to-be, we talked of many things. He spoke of a wonderful, seemingly magical place called Jamaica. Of course, I’d heard of that popular vacation destination, but had never been there. He insisted that it is unlike any other in the world; the people there are genuinely kind and the whole …

My Newest Kitchen Gadget

DrKim — Wed, 27 Jul 2011 20:08:37 +0000

I love kitchen gadgets. And yet, I do show restraint when it comes to acquiring them; I know well how NOT fun it is to have drawers and cabinets that are overflowing with gizmos you use only twice a year (sandwich maker and fondue set) and some which you’ve used….never (deep fryer) but don’t want …

Nightshade Foods: Should You Avoid Them?

DrKim — Mon, 22 Nov 2010 15:19:19 +0000

I recently posted a new favorite soup recipe I found for Roasted Eggplant and Tomato Soup. I received a comment which asked about eating nightshades, and whether or not they should be avoided. You may be wondering what a nightshade is and picturing something you put over your eyes to block out the light–I was …
