As the summer has dwindled down, (wait, who am I kidding, we hardly had a summer in the Pacific Northwest!@@!$), there has been one dish on my mind haunting me from the last time I made it last winter.
Kale is not necessarily a sexy vegetable. It’s green — very green, and has a hard, incorrigible stalk, and tastes like…well, it tastes really healthy. Because it IS healthy! It’s healthy, and beautiful, and green and you must eat it. Eat it today, eat it tomorrow and feed it to your children. I’ll get off my platform now.
Brown rice can be thought of as hippie-only food, chewy, brown and — gasp, different than white rice! But it has really grown on me, and I try to substitute it in for its white counterpart as often as I can. I have really grown to love its nutty chewiness, and can respect its health benefits.
Put these two hard for some to love ingredients together, add cheese and whole milk, and what do you get? Magic. Magical comfort food deliciousness.

I’m convinced that there are two types of people: cobbler people and crisp people.
I fall into the latter camp. The oaty, nutty crunch on the top of the crisp is a nonnegotiable component of a baked fruit dessert. If you can think of a reason cobbler is better, feel free to let me know. If you dare to come forward on Team Cobbler, you better come guns a’ blazing. I’d like to hear your reasons for cobbler foolishness. I can picture it now: “I love how it’s so doughy and smothering the fruit”, or, “I like how cobbler topping tastes like Play-Doh”.

It’s true. I haven’t blogged in quite a while.
Life has a tendency to get in the way of “extra” activities, and I am not immune from being overly busy and bogged down with day to day craziness. You know, like work. Work, work and more work.
Oh, and a little thing called a wedding.
