paleo thai red curry

i love to search the interwebs for recipes and i like to be diverse in my quest, checking vegan, vegetarian and paleo blogs on the hunt for a delicious recipe that will strike my fancy. mr. brown sugar and i are decidedly omnivores and tasty food knows no bounds.

creamy bulgur wheat in coconut milk

bulgur wheat is a whole wheat grain that has been cracked and partially pre-cooked. as a whole grain, it is a naturally high-fiber, low-fat, low-calorie vegetarian and vegan food ingredient. 

when you cook it with some coconut milk, a cinnamon stick, a little honey or organic cane sugar and a splash of good vanilla extract you get a creamy, lightly coconuty breakfast. add in some thinly sliced almonds for a little crunch and i think this is one helluva start to your day!

the clouds started rolling in yesterday, bringing with them promises of rain and much cooler weather.

fall is here. a change in the weather, a change in the leaves on the trees and a new season full of possibilities. this year, as always, i welcomed the arrival of fall with open arms and i like to usher in the new season with slow-cooking meals.  now that i am (temporarily + very happily) unemployed, i am in no rush to get dinner on the table.
